9 weeks and counting

Annie had her 2-month checkup last Friday. She currently weighs 10 lbs, 8 oz. and is 24 inches long. Her doctor said she was looking good and doing all the things a 2-month-old should be doing. We were a little concerned about her weight gain (or lack thereof), but he said she's just "tall and skinny." She was a brave little peanut when she endured 3 shots and drank her rotavirus vaccine. I've always seen babies spit things out when asked to drink, but Annie slurps everything down. She has no problems with gas drops, Tylenol, or her liquid vitamins. Slurp, slurp, all gone, yum yum!

Current "likes": pictures of cows and zebras (high contrast!), smiling at everyone, poems (such rhythm!), and kicking herself into a new position in the crib. She also seemed to enjoy storytime at the local bookstore.

Current "dislikes": the white hat (she cries every time we put it on, but everyone thinks it is so cute!), Mom being back at work (she adapts by requesting a visit around 2 am)

This week's highlights:
Sunday: Mommy's birthday
Tuesday: Baby shower at church
Friday: Erin and William home for Christmas
Saturday: Babysitting with Erin and Todd

Dang straight you did! You two are the first non-parent babysitters she will have. This is a big step (for me, that is).
