Addison at Two Months

Today Addison is 10 weeks and 2 days old. Yesterday she went for her two month check up. She weighs 11 lbs 13 oz and she is 22.75 inches tall. She is growing so fast and she is changing so much. She loves to look around. One of her favorite things is to be held facing away from the person holding her so she can see everything. She has started making more noises. She smiles when you talk to her and she will stick her tongue out at you. I have started reading baby books to her and she seems to enjoy them. It is incredible to see how quickly she is developing.

The doctor was impressed with the fact that she already sleeps about eight hours at night and during the day she goes four hours between feedings. Last night she actually slept 10 hours, though that is a rare occurrence. The doctor said that she is developing wonderfully.

Addison's eyes are a beautiful bright blue. They are actually more blue now then they were when she was born. We asked the doctor if they would stay blue. The doctor said that there is still a chance that they might change, but it is very likely at this point that she is going to have blue eyes. It also looks like her hair is going to be very light brown. It is so funny to think of Daniel and I having a blue eyed, light haired child. With Daniel having black hair and brown eyes and me having brown hair and green eyes, it doesn't look like she is going to look like either of us. The doctor said this is just Addison's first way of showing us that she is her own person.

Addison also got her first shots while she was at the doctor's office. It was heartbreaking to see her cry in pain when they were giving her the shots. But she claimed down pretty quickly afterwards and she didn't seem to having any problems last night.

She really is such a good baby. She is happy most of the time and she is easy to entertain. I am very thankful that she is sleeping eight plus hours at night. God has blessed us so much.
