Lucy: Month Two

Dear Baby Girl,

Hi two month old Goosie! Wow, has time flown by. For you, most of the time was spent like this:

Jesus god you're a good sleeper. I cannot say it enough. I thank my lucky stars on a daily basis that you sleep so well. At the beginning of the month you were still staying up late with me and daddy, but now you go to bed nice and early like your brother. Which allows us to pretend to be grownups for a little while. Once you're down for the night, you'll only get up once or twice. You must love your momma so much!

You'd think from all the pictures I post that you smile 24/7, but you're actually a stingy little thing when it comes to doling out grins. Your father didn't even believe that you were smiling because you wouldn't give him one. You make us work for it, girly! As you should! Luckily, I always have the camera ready to snap some evidence when you are in the mood!

You've started to discover that the world around you contains TOYS! Just like Sammy, you've taken quite a liking to the gymni. As long as I don't try and make you do tummy time in there. You love looking at yourself in the many mirrors. Can't say that I blame you. You certainly are the loveliest thing in five counties.

Besides playing, you live to eat. Child, you are packing on the pounds even faster than your brother did! When he was two months old, he weighed 12 pounds, 10 ounces. At the doctor's today you weighed in at 12 pounds, 11 ounces! And you started out 2 ounces less than him!

You've started crib dancing.

Overall, this has been another action-packed month for you. You had visits from both sets of grandparents, and your Aunt Tori and Uncle Joe. Three weekends in a row! Your Aunt and Uncle took you (and the rest of us) pumpkin picking over the weekend. You slept through most of the festivities, but we propped your little sleepy head up with some gourds for a few photos. You barely noticed!

Please continue to be as sweet as you have been so far, Lucy. It's really endearing.

Love, Mama
