Chloe is Two Months Old!!

Chloe celebrated her 2 month birthday yesterday! Wowzers! We took her to the doctor today for her well-baby visit and the doctor was very happy with Chloe's growth. She weighed in at 10.8lbs (less than both her Daddy and Mommy guessed!) and 22.5 in. She is measuring in the 25th percentile for her weight and height and 10th percentile for her head circumference. The doctor was surprised by her neck and head strength and predicted (near guaranteed us) that Chloe would be on the move earlier than the usual guidelines. Yippy! I agree - I have been saying the very same thing for a few weeks now. She will be running circles around me in this little condo in no time! Did I forget to tell you - - she loves the camera now! Finally - she has evolved into a supermodel! She is all smiles!!

She has been a little fussy lately, really hungry and quite tired. After my inquiry with the doctor, she reassured us that she was indeed healthy and is probably going thru yet another growth spurt. I think she just gets bored! And all she really knows how to do is scream! We still get our baths at night, and that seems to help calm her for a bit. All in all, she is a happy, healthybaby and just as precious as ever. It just breaks our hearts when she cries like that.

And more crying she did today. She got her first round of shots. Oh my - what big needles you have! She got 2 shots in each leg and one oral shot. It was terrible. Horrible. But, a neccessary evil I suppose. She went to sleep for the 3 hours immediately following and I thought - well, this isn't so bad. Until she woke up! Three rounds of Baby Einstein Lullabies later.....she sleeps again! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Otherwise, the new year has been good. Brad and I are still adjusting to parenthood, I am back at work full time now, and we are learning (or trying) to just go with the flow of things (or of the baby). Life is pretty great. We hope everyones first week of the new year has been great too!
