I took her in a week ago for her 2 month well check and she measured (according to the nurse's very inaccurate measurements) 23 1/2 inches (90%) and weighed 10lb. 10oz. (the nurse didn't mess up the weight, but she did mess up on the percentile for weight which she told me was 80% - not really Olivia is more like the 45% for weight). Even so, she has grown considerably! She is no longer the petite little baby she was. I guess she decided she needed to get growing fast so she could catch up with Li'l Robby and Jenna.
Here are some cute pics...
I love the baby chub she is getting on her thighs.
I was lucky to catch her actually looking at the camera. Normally, she will avoid eye contact with the camera (I think it's because she knows it will flash in her face.)
This was taken at bedtime. I was so proud of her last night, she ate at 10:15pm and then slept till 7:15am! Woo hoo! Go Olivia! (Can you tell I love sleep?!)
I tried so hard to get her to look at the camera, but again she avoided it.
Things that are going on for her right now are:
- She gives great big smiles (mostly for Mom) usually right after she eats.
- She is already getting into girl talk and will coo back and forth with Mom.
- She has decided that she does not like to be left alone in the swing, carseat, or bouncy chair. If someone is in the room with her she is usually okay, but if you leave she will protest. She wants to be where the action is.
- She wants to stand now, and will arch her back and stretch out her legs until you hold her upright as if she was standing. She's still getting the hang of this, but the desire is definitely there.
- We got our our high chair (it has a reclining seat) and she was very pleased to sit in it the first time and be part of the family at dinner. She appeared to be very fascinated watching us eat our food.
- And last, we are pretty sure she is going to have blue eyes.
