2 months old


Adelynn is now 2 months old and starting to have her own personality. She is full of smiles and knows who mom and dad are. I would say she is the happiest right in the morning. She just lays on her changing table and kicks and smiles. We went to our 2 month baby exam last Thursday and she is growing like a weed. She is now 13 lbs and 14 oz. She is almost 24 in long. The Dr. said that she is as big as a 5 month old. Seems very big, but in reality when she was born she was already as big as a one month old. She is proportioned throughout and right on schedule on the growth chart for her age since she was so big at birth. The picture shows her right as we were about to leave the house to go to the Dr, she was so happy that morning and full of smiles. If she would have only known that she would be getting 3 shots. It was so hard for me to take her to the first appt that involved her getting poked 3 times in the leg. I gave her some tylenol before we went. She screamed when the nurses gave her her vaccinations. I had a bottle all ready for her when her shots were done. I got her calmed down right away. We had heard of all the horror stories that she may be in a lot of pain after the shots. By suprise she was perfect after that and the shots didnt seem to bother her. Matt and I really lucked out with that.

Adelynn 7 Weeks

We took Adelynn to her first professional portrait sitting on Saturday at Portrait Innovations in Middleton. She cooperated for the most part. As the photographer had said it is not the easiest thing for a 7 week old baby. We had many pictures to chose from. It helped us out that many of the pictures didnt turn out due to her crying or simply not looking at the camera. We still had a hard time picking out the pictures. We will get her next pictures done when she is about 3 months old, those pictures should have a lot more smiles and facial expressions, we hope:) Here are a few pictures that were taken on Saturday. Our little girl is growing up so fast already!
