2 Months!

Our little baby Eva Charlotte is 2 months old today!  She has her next appointment on Friday, so I am excited to see how much she has grown.  At her one month appointment, she was up to 21 inches long and 8 lbs. 13 ounces!  I'm pretty sure she has to get some shots this time around though, so I am a little sad about that.  I don't want her to be sick or fussy from them.  Luckily, Andy is off this weekend, so he will be around to help out in case she does react badly to the vaccines.

I think we have hit "wonder week 8" here in the Ingrassia household.  If you don't already know, a wonder week is when the baby goes through mental growth that makes them more aware of their surroundings.  Also, they will able to do more physically and mentally after this period passes.  During this week, the baby can seem more fussy and clingy than usual.  Eva has been much more clingy than usual.  The past week, she only wanted to be held by me.  It was endearing and overwhelming at the same time.  I love that she knows who I am and loves me, but it was difficult to get things done around the house!  Little nugget didn't want to be put down for a second!     


Here we are at 2 months old:

Second picture taken right after her nap! Much happier!


Some of my favorite things Eva does:
   1.  When she sticks her lower lip out to pout right before she starts to cry
   2.  The way she stretches her arms and neck when I take her out of her carseat
   3.  How she pulls her feet back whenever I touch them with something cold
   4.  The way she loves standing up while you support her under her armpits... she thinks she is sooooo cool!
   5.  When she chuckles in her sleep... it's definitely the cutest thing ever!
   6.  How she enjoys sitting propped up in the corner of the couch.  She gives you the biggest smile!
   7.  Speaking of smiling, her smile melts my heart.
