Sleeping Contest

My two favorite people in the worldare sound asleep. I'm starting to think they're having some sort of a competition. Aside from coming up for air, neither one has budged for the past hour and a half. As you can see, Emily is still in her car carrier (I don't move sleeping babies unless I have to) and Hubby is on the couch (I couldn't move him if I had to.) Jeff is the World's Deepest Sleeper and can sleep through pretty much anything! Maybe Emily has inherited his talent?? Maybe she's an ambitious two-month-old set on stealing Daddy's title?? Anyway, I would usually play round-up and get them to their beds, but tonight I'm tempted to leave them be and see who wins....

Random Post

Jeff said I should post something on the blog, so here you go:

1) Emily has been such a good sleeper lately. She'll go down very easily around 8pm. She usually finds her hand or thumb to chew on or will babble some sleepy talk to herself until she falls asleep- no crying! I know this may change, but for now, we'll celebrate it!Smiley girl when she wakes up. By the way, today she had her 2 month appt- shots and all- three sticks and one oral. She did very well and we both survived her "10 second long- red faced- I'm so angry I can't breathe cry" She's a champ.2) Jeff is a good Daddy!!!
3) We are a happy family

Two Months Old!

Well, time to get back on the blog train. Today Emily is two months old! She is so fun to have in our family. Some of her recent milestones include: sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night, taking a bottle, smiling a lot more, making eye contact and cooing, moving hands more smoothly, finding her fingers to suck on, taking a pacifier, lying on tummy and lifting up upper body, holding head up a lot longer, looking around a lot more, and adding more variety/expression to her cries (but fussing less than the first month)

It's so neat to watch her develop and change at what seems like a daily rate. I can't believe how fast babies grow!
