2 Months

Natalie turned 2 months old ten days ago and had her pediatrician appointment today. It went pretty well, except for the shots. She had to get an oral vaccine and two shots and unfortunately she was already crying after the oral vaccine. Obviously, she had no idea it was about to get worse. :-( The good news is that she has now settled down and just fell asleep. She was really worked up, of course, so hopefully she stays down for a while.

At two months, Natalie is:
11 pounds, 15 ounces (75th percentile)
24.5 inches (completely off the chart)
15 ½ inch head circumference (25 percentile)
She smiles all the time now and seems so much more alert and interactive all the time. She is the happiest in the mornings and loves to be held facing out so she can see everything going on around her. She is sleeping well at night and usually does a 7 hour stretch. Her daytime sleep routine is still evolving and she isn't quite as good at getting to sleep for naps, but I figure I can deal with that because I'm getting pretty decent sleep stretches at night. :-) Natalie is grabbing onto things now and has a pretty strong grip. She holds onto our hands, my hair, clothes, etc. and can hold lightweight rattles.

Also, I forgot to post about Natalie's one month stats. Just for record-keeping purposes, at one month, Natalie was:
10 pounds, 8 ounces (90th percentile)
23.5 inches (off the chart)
14 ¼ inches head circumference: (25th percentile)
