Stella is 2 Months!

Stella's second month was filled with a ton of travel. We spent a day visiting the Amish country, a couple of days in Washington DC, a few days in Colorado Springs and the majority of the month was spent visiting our friends and family back in Utah.

Stella has grown a ton this month and has really "chunked up". She now looks much more like a baby than a newborn - 12 lbs, 5 oz (80th percentile) and 23 inches long (75th percentile).

She just got her 2 month vaccines, which were SO sad, but she took them like a champ. Her screaming cry almost killed me, but she made it out just fine.

This month Stella has learned to smile. She smiles when she's happy or thinks something is funny (in the first month she only smiled when she had gas :)). She enjoys her tummy time (in short spurts) where she can lift her head 90 degrees.

She is finally interested in toys, well sort of. She follows them from side to side, coos at them and sometimes even smiles at them. She talks a lot now too, lots of sounds coming out of her...

Stella caught her first cold this month- a sore/red throat and a runny nose. Nothing like getting that immune system up and running early! We had to visit the pediatrician while traveling in SLC, but all is good now.

We've loved all of the traveling, but are happy to finally be home (oh yah and our house is now on the Philly market - fingers crossed it sells!)
