This is going to be a major Karly overload, since I've been such a slacker this month.
I've tried to be good about taking pictures and videos - hopefully we got a good amount of the cute things this little munchkin does. It's so fun to see her personality coming through!
We had her 2 month check-up this week and she got her shots. She was such a trooper! She cried, of course, when they poked her little legs, but only cried for a couple of minutes (got to love the pacifier!). The worst point was when she looked at me like "Mommy, why would you let them do that to me?!" My sister AJ says it only gets worse as they get older. Wonderful. That night, I went visiting teaching, so Nate stayed home with Karly and apparently, the pain set into her legs while I was gone - she cried for about an hour! Luckily, she's got a terrific dad who took VERY good care of her.
So here are that stats:
Weight: 10 lbs, 13 oz -- 42%
Length: 23 1/4 inches -- 76%
Head: 15.2 inches -- 38%
Still tall and skinny with a little head! :)
I took some pictures in her strawberry outfit - to compare to her one month pictures. I also took some pictures next to her big monkey, so I can compare every month how she compares to him. Apparently, I should have done it while she was sleeping because she was SO wiggly. It took several attempts to get something decent.
It's so fun to see Karly's personality coming out. She's a VERY happy baby - I've had several people ask me if she ever cries. She really doesn't cry all that often. Usually, she cries if I wait too long to feed her or when we take her out of the bathtub. She loves the bath.
She's also a very talkative little munchkin (such a girl) :D
This is a little donkey that attaches to her car seat. She'll just stare at him for like 20 minutes. She also likes to make him move - she'll bat at him and then watch him swing around. She's got really good hand/eye coordination already! She also does that with her little toy in her bouncer chair - looks at it and hits it. Too cute!
She started doing this kind of fake cry lately - it's her precurser to really getting mad. :) We think she sounds like a dying cat when she does it.
Did you notice the major slobber at the beginning? This girl is a drool queen. She is also an expert spit bubble blower.
Speaking of girl, as you can see she's got quite a bit of hair. One of the funniest things she does I can't really get a picture or video of, because she only does it when she's nursing...yeah...so I'd rather not have that on the internet. But she'll take her hand and run it along the side of her head, like she's tring to fix her hair. And she does it over and over again. It's hard to explain and hilarious to watch. Sorry you don't get to see. :)
She's discovered a new best friend too!
Herself!
I'm not sure if you can tell in this pictures, but she's smiling at herself. (Also, I just noticed this, but she's in her strawberry outfit again. I swear she doens't wear it everyday. Just often...)
Karly's quite a social butterfly - she doesn't like to be by herself and she loves interacting with people. She also likes to be up and looking around; she hates being held cradle style and would rather be standing than sitting or laying down. It's gotten to the point where, if you hold both of her hands, she'll pull herself up:
Remember how I said she has good hand/eye coordination? She's also got a killer grip.
"Hey dad! Can you help me get this back in my mouth?!"
Okay, last thing for today. She hates tummy time. I've been really bad about doing it since we've been so busy the last month and all she does is cry when I do it. At her doctor's appointment though, he said I need to do it for 20 minutes 3 times a day. Are you kidding me?! I told him she cries basically the whole time and is there anything I can do to make her like it. He said strip her down to her diaper or put the toys that sounds like paper near her so she can play with them. I've tried both and she seems to be doing better...a little...
Except this morning.
I guess she was tired...
So that's our little Karly bug! I'll try to be better about posting now that I've kind of caught up and I'm figuring out how to get stuff done with her around. :)
