So Big! - 2 months

Jillian is 2 months - well actually she is 10 weeks so I'm a little behind! She went for her 2 month doctor's appointment on Wednesday and she is doing great. She now weighs 12 pounds, 2 ounces and is 23 and 3/4 inches. She is definately a growing girl! She is doing so well. She is still eating about 2 hours during the day but sometimes she goes longer when she takes a long nap, which she usually does in the afternoon. At night she usually sleeps about 7 or 8 hours and will wake up anywhere between 6 and 8. Yes I know this means that I am very lucky! She has been interacting much more with us and is cooing and smiling a lot now! She is getting a lot more control over her head but she is still a bobble head at times. James and I love asking her questions and then seeing if her head bobbles "yes" or "no." Every time you ask her if she is a pretty girl, she gives you a definate "yes!"

Jillian's new thing is that she likes to sit and stand when you hold her. She is actually quite strong and puts a lot of pressure on her legs when she stands.

She also had her first round of shots on Wednesday. She did great but had a very delayed reaction. The nurse had finished all three shots before I think she realized what had happened and started screaming - actually she did that silent cry where they are gasping for air. It broke my heart but I actually didn't cry which I was surprised.

Here she is with her Charlie Brown bandaids. She was a little fussy after her shots and I think all she literally did the next two days was eat, sleep, and poop - no smiles and no playing. She is feeling back to normal though now so we survived.

  2. Adorable!

    Jillian was a cute newborn and is turning into a precious baby. She put pressure on her legs early - Laura started doing this about 2 1/2 to 3 months, and she spent a lot of time with us holding her in a standing position while she looked around (and jabbered/babbled about what she saw).

    Miss you at Blazier. Kiefer's little girl arrived around April 28th (Avery, I think), and Quita's little boy Gabriel is set to arrive May 20th (unless he has other plans. They are having a baby shower for Elaine Reina on May 22.

    Talk to you soon!
