Hands and H2O

Dear baby girl,

You have discovered two, well technically three things you love over the last couple of weeks. First off is your hands.  You love to chew on them. You love to look at them.  And you just recently started to realize that you have the power to move them. You are slowly reaching and touching things on purpose rather than randomly as before.  You even helped to turn the pages on the book we read the other day (not really, but you touched them and flipped them back and forth at random) Daddy and I have so much fun watching you learn new things. You get so excited and have such a proud look on your face.

The second thing you have discovered is water. You have liked your bath for a while now, but we tried your tub without the sling for the first time this week and you realized that you LOVE being submerged in the water completely instead of on the surface with your sling.  You kick and splash and laugh. It is so fun to watch.  You also went into the pool for the first time this week.  You absolutely loved every second of it. You kicked just like you already knew how to swim. You were not afraid at all.  It's been a fun couple of  weeks in our household as you've hit two big milestones. We can't wait to see you hit many more fun milestones in the future!!!

Dear Madison,

You celebrated your first Fourth of July by turning two months old! Your two month well check up was a little late (7/13) and your stats are below from that. You were a champ even though you were not a fan of your first shots!

Head circumference: 16 in (75-90%)
likes- "talking" to mom and dad, walks in the stroller, tummy time, your bouncy seat and swing, baths, looking at fans
dislikes- wet diapers, going to sleep (you've figured out the positions that usually mean sleep time and do all you can to keep out of them!
