2 months

Emma Jane,
I cannot believe you are two months old. Where in the world has time gone? This month, you've really learned and grown so much I'm torn between being sad that it's going by too fast and happy to see you reach new developmental marks.

You love play time at night. You have started reaching for the toys on your play mat and seem really shocked when you actually touch one of them. You have started to really love tummy time as well. I always feel so bad for you because you spit up the entire time you're on your belly but you seem so content. You love to follow the lights on your Baby Einstein mirror and you bob your head to the music (although I'm pretty sure this is you not having 100% control over your head and not actual dancing).

You suck down your bottles! This is huge news for us because you had such a hard time eating when you were first born. Truth be told, your Daddy and I used to hate feeding you but now we fight over who gets to.

I'm pretty sure you're going to be an early talker. You make the sweetest noises constantly and carry on conversations with me. You love to tell me all about it.

The best thing this month is that you've started to smile when you see me or your Daddy. It's the best feeling in the entire world to see you smile at me. You smile whenever I dance crazy which makes me laugh. The crazier the dance, the bigger the smile (this has resulted in me looking like I'm having a seizure but you love it). I've learned I'll do anything to make you smile, no matter how incredibly ridiculous I look (but I will close the blinds!).

You're still having a rough time gaining weight and the doctor has told us to add a little rice cereal into your formula to see if that helps.

You had your second trip to the ER (but the first trip was for me). You had a fever due to dehydration from spitting up so much. They put an IV in your little hand and drew tons of blood. You were such a little trooper and cried so much less than I did. They also had to catheterize you and I completely lost it hearing you scream from the pain. I'm so glad that you're ok and I pray that you never have to experience that again.

You have found your hands and love sucking on them. I really wanted you to take a a pacifier but you chose your hand. In fact, you'll spit out your paci and stick your little fist right in there.

You're rotten and we love you.
