2 months

Ava is 2 months old today!

Bryson and I sang Happy Birthday to her this morning and she loved it!

Ava has a doctor's appointment next Tuesday and we will find out how much she weighs and how long she is and all that good stuff.

At 2 months, 

Ava can hold her head up when she is on her tummy and when we are holding her upright. 

She pushes her legs up to "stand up." 

She smiles a lot.

She makes the cutest noises and coos.

She loves her bouncy seat and will sit in it forever, cooing to herself.

At night, she sleeps 8-9 hours uninterrupted and then goes back to sleep for 3+ hours after eating.

She has met all her aunts and uncles, her grandparents and 2 sets of great-grandparents.

She loves white noise. It will calm her almost instantly.

She loves being swaddled.

She eats every 3 hours, practically on the dot. 

She hardly ever spits up and doesn't burp very often either.

She still doesn't love her car seat, but is doing much better than before.

People often think she is older than she is.

The first thing people comment on are her juicy lips. :)

Her big, bright eyes are still blue-grey.

She recently found her hands and loves to put them in her mouth.

She still has a full head of hair, but she is losing it in a strip on the back of her head.

She loves her pacifier.

People always say, "She's such a pretty baby." (Pretty or beautiful instead of "cute.")

She loves her bath and cries when we take her out.

She has the yummiest, chunkiest thighs that I love to squeeze!

And something I am especially proud of...

On our trip to Utah, she rode in the car for 12 hours without crying once. :) 

To compare...here is her one month picture:

...and here she is at two months. 

 

We love our sweet, sweet Ava. :)

Happy 2 month birthday, baby girl! :) :)
