Alice is 2 Months

Today at Target some ladies were oohing and awing at Alice and when they asked me how old she was I said “2 months” without hesitation. *sigh* I can’t believe I’m done responding in weeks. She had her two month appointment today and she weighed 12 pounds 13 ounces and supposedly she was 24 inches long. I’m a little skeptical because measuring a baby is not an exact science and I’m not sure if the nurse counted her hair. If she really is 24 inches that would mean she has grown a whopping 2 inches per month. Who does that?! Apparently babies. IMG_8792IMG_8779IMG_8787I really wanted to post a picture of Alice smiling. I was holding a mirror over her head and waiting for her to grin at herself and then trying to move it out of the way and take her picture before it faded but I wasn’t fast enough and after a while it just made her cry. I tried to get Norah to help me  . . . IMG_8782Then Bryan came home and I enlisted his help but as you can see she was tired of having her emotions toyed with.IMG_8796Look at this face – she was thinking “seriously people? I am the best baby ever: All I want is to do sleep and you are both so ungrateful.”IMG_8798

She really is a smiley baby though and has been in good spirits despite having a cold this past week.

Love the new pictures. We should baby video chat sometime so that Aunt Ashley can 'be in the tv' too.
