Two months old (a.k.a. A long post)...

Another month has come and gone - I can't believe it.  I just glanced back at Leighton's one-month photos, and she looks so tiny.  She is changing so much and is looking more and more like her daddy every day.  It's hard for me to tell, but even strangers will say that she looks just like Lyn.  Good thing he's cute!

Miss Leighton did so well with her first round of shots last Thursday.  She slept quite a bit during the day, so I was worried she might be up during the night, but her daddy put her to bed while mommy was shopping and she slept like a champ.  Here is a picture of the little one with her battle wounds.

The doctor said Leighton was doing great, but we have to switch her soap and lotion because she has very sensitive skin.  She had been getting little heat rashes on her face, but we started seeing spots on her tummy and her legs, so hopefully the soap swap will help clear her up.  Other than that, she got another clean bill of health.  Here are her stats at two-months...

Weight - 10 lbs. 13 oz. (51%)
Length - 22 1/4 in. (47%)
Head circumference - 15 in. (34%)

You can tell by looking at her thighs that she's starting to catch up in her weight a little bit.  Last month she was at 30%, and this month she's over the 50% mark.  Yesterday she wore a size 3 month romper I bought her for the first time, and I had to take it off when we got home because it was too tight on her tummy.  I hate it when that happens.  In her second month, she has started smiling and talking so much more!  When you catch her in a good mood, her face will light up when she sees us, and she will laugh and coo for a while.  It makes our day!  She really loves her swing now, and she will talk to the mobile that hangs from the top too.  The swing has been my saving grace - I can actually eat meals when she is awake from time to time.  She has also started blowing spit bubbles, which is super cute!  Enough rambling, I will get to the pictures.

Our first attempt at her two-month photo shoot was on Friday.  Unfortunately, Leighton was sucking on her hand the entire time because she was sleepy.  She is still such a doll though!  See for yourself...

We are going to try again today.
