2 Months Old

Amy had her 2 month check-up yesterday! She is growing well, and now weighs 11lbs 10oz and is 23" long. We discovered at the appointment that Amy did get at least ONE thing from me, heat rash! Poor little girl got her momma's sensitivity to the heat. She might grow out of it, but until then, she and I will be together in the shade with our sunscreen on! Amy was being so sweet to the doctor, smiling and cooing and kicking her sweet little legs with joy; it broke my heart to see her so happy knowing that any second the nurse would come in with 3 needles for my baby! When Amy got that first shot, and that sweet little grin turned into a bright red, teary face that was gasping between screams, I wanted to cry with her! Poor little girl was sensitive the whole rest of the day and had a rough night too. Turns out the taste of cherry flavored children's tylenol is almost as bad as the shots in her opinion. The face she made was absolutely hilarious when I squirted the medicine into her mouth! Next time she needs tylenol, I am going to video tape it.

As a two-month-old, Amy is a delight. Her hours of endless screaming seem to have relaxed a bit, we've had 5 days without hysteria, and are hoping this continues! She loves it when I sing to her and when her daddy talks to her. Alphonso likes to talk about tools and garage stuff with her, always cursing things that are made in China (he's trying to indoctrinate her early). She seems to think her daddy is hilarious, because she is always smiling and rolling her head around when he is explaining why old is better than new.... We are enjoying every bit of our little girl and I hope she is enjoying every bit of us.
