A few days ago Grayson celebrated her 2 month birthday! As I reflect on the past month, I can't believe how different it has been when compared to her first month of life. She has changed SO much and caring for her is quite different too. When she started smiling and cooing at us, it's like the little person inside of her came alive! She has gone from a newborn who had a rather unpredictable temperament to an infant who can let you know when she is really happy and really mad and most of the time, there is an identifiable cause for her emotional outbursts (whether happy or sad!). I believe I described G as high maintenance in a previous blog. She has turned into the furthest thing from high maintenance. She is very content now and can entertain herself for very long stretches (allows mom plenty of time to shower, eat, read the newspaper!) The only time she fusses is when it's time to take a nap! I put her down in her crib when she is still happy, she watches her mobile contently for a little while, then as the tiredness comes over her, she will fuss and sometimes scream, but typically, all it takes is giving her the pacifier and she will be out. Her nighttime sleep is AWESOME. She goes down around 10:30 and sleeps until 6:30 (we are on a week straight of that streak!). This skill will be invaluable when I return to work in a few weeks. With how much she has changed over the past month, I am SO excited to see what the next month has in store. We are loving being parents to this amazing little miracle!
Enjoy some pictures from our two month "photo shoot" capturing her smiling face!
Thought that it was SO funny how both G and Herbie look SO serious in this photo! Herbie has started to take more of an interest in G, he will occasionally nap in her room when she is napping, etc. We have no doubt that they will soon be the best of friends.
