Anna is Two Months

January 30, 2012


Dear Anna -
You are two months old today and your second month has flown by much quicker than your first.  I feel like I am getting to know you - who you are, what you like, and what you do not like.  I hope you feel like you are getting to know me and your Dad.

Here are your numbers:

23 1/4 inches

11 lbs, 5 oz

You are smiling now.  You actually have many new faces.  You have a happy face when you get a big smile and almost laugh.  You have a sad face that is really, really funny.  You have an angry face that I am not a huge fan of because it usually comes with screaming.  You also have a special face saved for when your face meets the sun - you hate the sun.  My favorite time of day with you is in the morning because it starts with your sleepy face and then usually goes right into your happy face.

Your favorite time of day is napping with Dad.

You are good at recognizing your Dad and I, and can follow us around the room.  You have also started to find interest in your toys.  Sometimes they scare you, but other times they make you smile.

You are a great sleeper and most nights you sleep about eight hours.  I am still not counting on getting this much sleep every night, but it has been very nice so feel free to continue.  Riley still loves you and is always licking your hands, and sometimes your face.  Firpo, well, he is still on the fence.   You are starting to "talk", cry real tears, and I think everything you eat is going straight to your giant thighs (although the Doctor could not stop talking about how cute your arm rolls are...).  Finally, you continue to love getting out around town.  We even took our first trip out of town with you and you did great!  

I cannot wait to take you all over the world.  

Love,

Mom

P.S.  I am sorry that the pictures of you are not the best.  I really need to get my camera out more and practice catching your face.  I also need better light.
