[Whitney] Two months old!

Whitney is two months old today! As I started looking back on the past few weeks, I realized how much has happened and wanted to be sure to document it. Every morning is full of smiles, and Whitney is still sleeping through the night (hoorah - nine out of the last 11 nights!). Here are a few other fun things we want to remember about this month:

Two Month Milestones

• Mimicking facial expressions - smiles, sticking out tongue, open mouth
• Holding onto toys

• Favorites:
• Staring at the birdies on the bouncer

• Hanging out on the changing table (may have something to do with a clean diaper!)
• Mommy singing "Patty Cake" and playing with feet
• Daddy walking around while she faces out to the world
• Firsts:
• Vacation - a trip to the Central Coast of California
• Bottle - she'll take pumped milk from anybody (including mommy!), and doesn't even mind when it's cold!
• Grandma Faust babysat while mommy and daddy were out on a weekend day
• Slept through the night! From 10 p.m. until 7 a.m. on the night of April 23rd
• Grandma Patty babysat when mommy returned to work one day a week
• Met another baby - Julie's daughter, Taylor (i n this picture Taylor is 2.5 weeks old, and weighs 8 pounds, 5 ounces... what Whit weighed when she was born! Crazy to see how much she's grown!); contrary to the crying, she had a blast!

• Size:
• Diapers - newborn (but officially needing a 1 today... we've gone through several outfits!)
• Clothes - newborn and 0-3 months; the pants in both sizes fit more like capris (welcome to mommy's world!), but the newborn are perfect size wise (just not length)
• Weight: 10 pounds, 8 ounces on April 30th

As I started writing these I realized I should do it for the first month, too!

One Month Milestones

• Being born!
• Showing us her moves as "Baby Houdini" and unraveling the swaddle no matter how tight
• Daddy gave her the nickname "Booger," and it seems to have stuck... it comes in various forms of "Boog," "Boogie," etc., but she's called that more often than Whitney, so I think it's a keeper :)
• Firsts:
• Trip to the pediatrician - passed the two week checkup with flying colors!
• Birthday party - for Alicia's daughter Layla's 2nd birthday
• Baby shower - for Julie
• Size:
• Diapers - newborn
• Clothes - newborn (even though they say they're only up to 8.5 pounds, they fit well, and there's even some room to grow into them more!)
• Weight: 8 pounds, 14 ounces on April 2nd

We spent her two month birthday at work for a few hours, and Whitney got to hang out with mommy's colleague and sorority sister, Marybeth. Whitney mostly napped, and was a perfect angel while mommy was in a two hour meeting!

And, of course, we took her monthly photos:

It's crazy to look at the pictures from last month and see how much she's changed! Since we see her every day, I don't think we notice as much! So excited for what this upcoming month will bring for our little girl! <3
