two months old.

As of yesterday.

(I was a day late last month too).

They aren't kidding when they say babies grow so fast.

Carly, at two months you . . .

*love to stand and move around. You like to stand on mom's lap and look around. You don't like being held like a baby unless you're really tired. And you like to be in constant motion and wiggle a lot.

~

*are finally smiling! And have the most beautiful smile in the world.

~

*are starting to "talk" all the time. You have so many stories to tell.

~

*are becoming a redhead. We think its going to stick.

~

*have started drooling ALL OVER the place.

~

*sleep eight hours almost every night (almost). Your mom appreciates it.

~

*are still an unpredictable eater, but we're learning to stay one step ahead of you (or one step behind, but that's still better than the 10 steps behind we used to be).

~

*continue to be very curious. You love looking at the world around you, especially bright colors and lights.

~

*are a baby now, and no longer my newborn. This is bittersweet for your mamma.

Happy two months, Car. We're glad you joined us.
