We went to the doctor and he said you were 12 pounds 1 ounce, in the 86th percentile; and 23 1/2 inches long, in the 91st percentile!! So you are growing perfectly!!
You were sitting on my lap just staring at me, and as soon as Dr. Nichols rolled over to check you out you started crying!! :) But you did really good at your appointment. We were supposed to get your shots that day but you weren't technically 2 months, and insurance said they wouldn't pay until you were! So we had to go back on your two month birthday for your shots.
You did much better than I was expecting. You cried, but it wasn't even your loudest cry! And there were no real tears. Mommy went ahead and closed her own eyes for you. lol - after your first shot I realized, I wasn't the one getting them I didn't have to close my eyes! But you acted very normal after your shots. You might have been a little sleepier than normal, but it was hard to tell because it was also Easter weekend so there were lots of family around to wear you out!
Here are some other 2 month facts!
-You are "talking" SO much! You coo and goo ALL the time! We love it!
- You are smiling ALL the time too!! It is so beautiful!
- You are "playing" by yourself more. I think this has a lot to do with daycare. But you'll just lay on the couch and talk to the ceiling and kick, or you'll lay on your playmat and kick.- You are in size 1 diapers!
-You are wearing size 0-3 month clothes.
- You are taking different pacifiers!!
- You sleep on your belly (shhh...don't tell anyone) but this is the only way we can get you to sleep longer than 5 minutes. Don't worry mommy checks on you all the time throughout the night!!
- You enjoy sitting up, you have great head control! You cannot sit on your own, but you like sitting on your daddy and mommy's laps!- You go to bed about 9:30 and wake up sometime between 12-1 to eat, then again between 3-4, and then again whenever I choose to wake you up to feed you and get you dressed for daycare.
- You do really well at daycare! You sleep almost the whole time you're there and then you are awake for mommy and daddy in the evening.
- You are not pooping. You only poop about every 3 days. So we started putting mineral oil in your bottles at daycare. The first day you pooped FIVE times!! Go Eliana!! But now you're back to your every 3 days....
- You have still only had breastmilk. You do very good going back and forth from the bottle! This makes me very happy!
- When you go down for a nap you like to be COMPLETELY covered, head to toe. If we're holding you we cover your head and you burrow your face into our armpits. lol - it's quite funny. If we lay you down semi-sleepy, we have to cover your face also, but then mommy sneaks back in every five minutes and once you're asleep I pull the blanket away from your face!
- You have taken a few naps in your crib in your room, but when you wake up you scream REALLY loud, I think maybe you get scared when you wake up in there!
- You are still sleeping your nights in our bedroom, but you do a fabulous job sleeping in your bassinet!!
Little girl, you truely are a joy in our lives! We waited and prayed so hard for you and you couldn't be more perfect for us!! We love you very much and can't wait to see what this next month will bring!! 
Love you!!
Mommy
