books

my daddy was away for work last week so i got to spend extra quality time with mommy. they normally fight over who gets to play with me but with daddy out of town, mommy had me all to herself! mommy and daddy have bought me many books and they love to read to me. i love listening to them and i also love looking at the pretty pictures in the books.

rattle

i am getting better at using my hands. i did not know how to use them when i was born, but now i am beginning to understand how useful my hands are. i can rub my face to tell my parents that i am tired. i can suck on my fingers when i want some comfort. and most importantly, i can squeeze them at will now. that means i can hold onto objects like rattles and move it around. pretty cool, eh? sometimes i can even push my pacificer back in my mouth when it has fallen out. i haven't mastered the art of grabbing objects by myself yet...that should come soon!

happy valentine's day

happy valentine's day! today, i wore a special outfit to celebrate valentine's day. i think i look absolutely adorable in it. of course, mommy and daddy wanted to take some pictures of me. so sat in my chair and chilled while daddy snapped away.

baths

i love taking baths. water is so much fun! it's wet and can be hot or cold. sometimes mommy washes me, sometimes daddy washes me, and sometimes both of them wash me together. baths are also very relaxing, which is nice after an exhausting day of being all cute and adorable (it's hard work you know). i have a lot of hair and my parents sometimes like being silly with it during bath time.

photo shoot ii

my mommy and daddy love taking pictures of me. today they put me on my tummy for some pictures. but i wasn't in the mood for tummy time so i refused to look at the camera. i was having fun looking at the textured blue mat and my hands. but i love being held. when mommy picked me up, i couldn't help but to smile!

two months

can you believe it? i am now two months old. my doctor told me that i am 22 1/2 inches long and just over 10 1/2 pounds. i am now at the 50th percentile for height and weight. which means i am perfectly average. unlike when i was born - i was in the 4th percentile. i've been eating (and pooping) more than most babies - it's been paying off. yeah me!
