Goodness I've been busy.  Between returning to work, going out of town, and taking care of household things I have been a very bad blogger.

Noelle's 2 month check up was on Valentines Day...also her daddy's birthday.  She weighed in at 11lbs, 14.5 oz-76th %, 21 3/4 inches-24%, 15in head circumfrence 31st%.  I'm quite certain both me and Phil would be in the low percentile for our heights and high percentiles for our weights....so I guess Noelle is no exception!

She is smiling and cooing up a storm these days.  It is so fun.  There is nothing better than her looking at you with a huge smile and knowing that she can do that because of the love and care she recieves every day....so great.  She doesn't love tummy time, but doesn't hate it either.  We try to one or two good floor tummy time sessions each day, but it doesn't always happen.  What does always happen is lots of tummy to tummy time in baby carriers and chest naps. She is in mostly 0-3 month clothing, but some 3-6 month.  I just went to Carter's today and got a bunch of 6 month onesies and those two packs of ruffle bottom pants.  I've discovered my favorite thing to dress her in is a long sleeved decorative, nice looking onesie (usually colored and/or textured with a small little bow or flower at the top, or with a collar) with a pair of pants.  It looks like an actual outfit, but is still practical and easy...easier than a sleeper actually.  Less snaps. 

Speaking of snaps.....the baby world seems to revolve around them!  I mean, between my cloth diapers, onesies, sleepers, nursing garb, pack and play changing table......how did we ever get by without them?

I am having a horribly difficult time getting Noelle's baptism scheduled.  It's the one thing that I have been most looking forward to since being pregnant also....so it stinks it is taking so long.  It looks like it might happen memorial day weekend, but that seems so far away.  I also wanted to go to Washington DC for a conference that weekend, but I doubt I could really make that work anyway.

In my next few posts, I am hoping to do some reviews of different baby products....so stay tuned if you are interested in hearing about the absurd number of things a very small person seems to require!
