Month 2, She Grew!

 Bella's second month birthday (December 20th) has passed, and now she is making her way on to mark month three.

At her two month doctor's appointment she received three immunizations and it was rough experience, leaving her with raw red eyes and sore little legs. Poor baby girl, shots and her don't mix.
On to her recent growth update:
She weighed in at 11 pounds (63rd percentile).
And she was 23 inches long (80th percentile).

           

Update:
Bella still has her blonde little waves of hair, not much more hair yet. She has deep blue eyes. And Blonde eyelashes. She has sensitive skin, so we have to be careful with rashes, whether it is the diaper or the heat. She enjoys kisses and laying on your chest all the time. She is in size 1 diapers, and has been for a while now, and she is wearing 0-3 months clothing. She is using the bumbo now. She is a beautiful lady in the making, we love her so much, the more time we spend with her the more we fall for this fairy girl we have.
Physical Milestones: Her head is wobbly while held sitting; muscle twitches lessen; hands partially unfold; swipes aimlessly

Social Milestones: Starting to coo; studies faces and vaguely mimics facial gestures; tracks moving persons

LIKES

- Lullaby singing
- Tickled toes
- Hanging toys
- Tummy sleeping
- Strong grasps
- Talking friends
- Connor's love (hugs, kisses, and holds)
- Vacuum noise (blow dryer or treadmill too)
- Daddy pats

DISLIKES

- BATHS!
- Loud noises that make her jump
- Waking up from her dreams
- Explosions, not big bang fiery ones, but the big diaper ones. She is now at the "my daughter needs a wearable ziploc bag, so her clothes don't get stained every few hours" stage. Oh joy. Poor girl she hates the changing and the cold wipes and the baths that insue.
- Cold hands that try and touch her

MOMMY and DADDY's favorite Bella-isims:
- Smiling on purpose big full mouthed grins
- She is getting so good during diaper changes, looking off and exploring her surroundings with her eyes all the time
- Her beautiful wide eyes
- Her open and closed hands
- We love to rub our noses on her soft cheeks and feel her warm skin
- Smelling her baby breath and tender skin is the best!
- And my all time favorite, laughing in her sleep her peaceful and soft laugh melts me.
