Lua is two months old, now!
She does all the things that a two-month old is supposed to do, including supporting and turning her head, tracking objects with her eyes, and smiling. We're especially excited about the smiles. They take up her whole face and make her eyes crinkle into little half-moons.
She now consistently sleeps though the night, going down for bed at about 10PM and sleeping until around 5:30 or 6 o'clock in the morning. She wakes up cheerfully without crying, lying in her crib and babbling until I come to pick her up. Her very best smiles are at this time and throughout the rest of the early morning. That's our best cuddle time. She even likes her early morning diaper change.
In the past couple of days, she has started to coo. It's a brand new thing, and we're loving it. Once or twice a day, we'll have a little conversation that goes a bit like this:
"Hi Lua Claire!"
"ooooooh."
"Hiiii!"
"ooooooooooh."
"How are you?"
"oohh-oohh."
"I love you."
"ooh."
She's growing fast, gaining another three pounds in this month alone. She's now doubled her birth weight (which is incredible for a two-month old) and fits into her 6-month clothes. She is currently in the 60th percentile for weight, which is quite a leap from her percentile (10th) at birth. I'm not sure how I feel about her rapid growth. I'm proud of her big belly, but I also mourn for my petite little newborn.
Here are some pictures of her two month photo shoot with Daddy and Cuddles the Bear. She still needs a little help to sit up for her pictures!
