Mary 2 Months

Mary is getting so big! She is now 11 lbs 6 oz and 23.5” long. She just got her 2 month vaccines last week and that made her sad. Her legs were sore for six hours afterwards and would cry if you touched them. But she is better now. She loves to lay on her diaper changing mat on the floor and just stare at her hands for at least twenty minutes. You can see her doing it in the first picture. The other day she was sitting in her bumbo chair watching me sew and I looked over at her a few minutes later and there she was sleeping. I guess she was tired.

 Mary loves her swing so much. She gets fussy when she is tired during the day and we can put her in her swing and she goes right to sleep. At night she has been sleeping for 6 or 7 hours at a time and then goes back to sleep right after a feeding. She is just such a good baby. We love her so much. I finally made a baby wrap out of some pink tablecloth (crash weave) fabric Brian’s mom had. She fell right to sleep. Mary liked it a lot better than the other carrier we have. She doesn’t really like that thing very much so we hardly ever use it.

Mary is getting so good at holding her head up and she enjoys sitting in the highchair looking at people sitting at the table because she is at the same height as everyone else. She does NOT like her car seat. She usually cries when we strap her in but sometimes calms down a bit or maybe if we are lucky falls asleep when driving. Usually she just cries but she does better if we cover the whole thing with a blanket and after we hung a rattle from the handle she enjoys looking at that too. She likes it when we hold her arms and have her stand up. She gets so happy. We just love her so much and enjoy watching her grow and experience new things.
