2 Months Old

Today was Riley's 2 month doctor appointment, and (unfortunately!) her first round of shots as well. She weighed in at 10 lbs 6 oz and is now 22 3/4 inches long. The doc said he was very surprised at how alert and aware she is, and also said she has very good head control for her age.

At 2 months, Riley has been changing tremendously from week to week. When supported in a sitting position, she can hold her head up and look around. And when held in a standing position, she can put a nice bit of weight on her feet. She smiles ALOT, and is starting to like holding onto and looking at some of her toys. She has recently "discovered" her fist and loves to suck on it to pass the time. She takes only cat naps during the day, and has some difficulty getting to sleep at night...but once she does fall asleep she sleeps in 3-4 hour stretches, only waking to eat and go right back down. Finally, she has started to pay alot of attention to Ski, who likes to give her tons of kisses.
