Happy TWO MONTH Birthday H!!!!

Some interesting tidbits on Miss H:
- If she gets upset in the car, the only way she can be calmed is to roll the windows down and turn the music up.  As soon as the car comes to a stop she will start to cry again - hence, we hate red lights at moments like that!
- She loves to be walked around upright on your chest with her back patted.  If you stop walking she will start to fuss as she needs to constantly have a change of scenery.
- Suddenly she likes to be cradled in my arms in order to fall asleep - she will nuzzle her face into the crease of my arm... cute but don't want her nuzzling her face in things to become a habit.
- Her new way of showing she's tired is rubbing her face/eyes against our chest.
- In our house, we hate the hiccups!! 
- She loves to be read or sang too - and if we're lucky, she'll join us by babbling or cooing along :) 
- She's emotional... not sure who she gets that from - ha! 
- She grunts a lot in her sleep... so much that I had to move her out of our room this week, I couldn't handle it any more.
- She's s-l-o-w-l-y becoming a better sleeper.
- This past week she has really discovered her tongue, she's been making lots of noises with it lately. 
- She doesn't sit still - if she's on your chest and doesn't want to be - she will lift her head and move it where she wants!!  Watch out world once she starts to move around! 

We've been learning lots more about Hayden as each day comes and goes, I cannot believe that she is already two months old, she's growing up so fast!!  We've had more playdates with her "friends" ;) and we even started Mom and Baby class last week which was nice to chat with other new moms and fun to see other babies that are so close in age to H.  I finally brought her into work (where she did oh so well!) and she also was able to meet her Uncle Nate (that will be in another post!). 

Today she had her two month check up (kinda fun since it's her official two month birthday).  I was sooo worried about how she (and, ahem.. I) would handle the shots - what can I say, we have a tough little cookie and she did so well!!  She definitely cried when she got them, but immediately stopped once back in her momma's arms ;)  And, in case you're wondering, I didn't shed a tear which I was quite proud of!  She's grown a lot which explains why she still needs to eat as often as she does. And maybe someday soon she will sleep for a nice chunk of the night (pretty, pretty please!?!)

H's two month stats:
Height - 23 inches 75th %
Weight - 10lb 8.5oz 50th %
Head size - 38.3cm - 25-50th %

So... she's long and skinny - and according to her dad, on her way to becoming 6'2" - (boo! I hope not that tall) but, she'll probably surpass me that's for sure!! 

We love Miss H soooo much and are beyond blessed to have such a happy, healthy little girl - she is amazing and reminds us of that every day :)  We'll get her two month photo once she's awake (yep, she's napping - woo hoo!) and get those up for everyone to see our growing little pumpkin!!

Love,
A+J+H
