I am two months old today! Yesterday I had my two month check up, and Dr. Wynalda said I am "just about perfect!" I really like him! He said I am right on track as far as growth goes, I weigh 10 pounds 2.5 oz, and I am 22 inches long! So I have gained 4 pounds, 4 inches since I was first born! He said that puts me in the 50th percentile. When he talked to me, I talked back. I have always been able to communicate-- through cries-- but now I am learning to speak! I use my tongue and lips to make sounds like "oooh and ahh, and hum." I am smiling a lot now too! There is a lot to smile about, I really love life.
Did you know that I already went on my first airplane ride? Mommy says that is really good and says that there are some adults who are afraid to fly. Not me! I was as happy as can be. I just sat in mommy's sling and I didn't cry once! There was a two year old girl-- much bigger than me-- and she was very afraid of the airplane. I wish I could have talked to her and told her that it was all going to be okay! Mommy assurred me that I was very safe and talked to me about how my ears might feel when we were first taking off. She told me I better use my "paci" and so I listened. The best part about the airplane ride was landing. I was soo exited to see my daddy. He was waiting for us and he was sooo happy to see me! Other than mom-- I am his favorite girl.
Mommy and I visited g-ma and g-dad and Uncle's Andrew, Alex and Josh in Omaha this month. We had a really good time, I really love everyone there so much and wish I could see them more often! I also had my pictures taken. I wasnt feeling up to it, and was a little concerned about being naked-- but mommy says she can never have enough pictures of me-- so I went along with it for her sake. I overheard mommy talking to Emily today about getting MORE pictures taken! Golly, what is she going to do with all of these anyway? Next time I hope to be able to wear pink. Pink is my favorite color now. I love everything about it. I also love sitting up (with the help of mommy and daddy) and I love to learn about new things. Mommy and daddy walk me around the house and tell me the names of things. I hope to be able to use real words soon.
This weekend should be really fun. I just recently saw Aunt Mallory and was able to talk to Danica a little. She is my new cousin who hasn't been born yet. She isn't ready to come out yet, and I understand that. I sure am excited to see her though! I think I might get to see her again this weekend with Uncle Greg and my cousin Jaden. And tomorrow I get to see Lindsay and Ryan after church! I really like them. I am the smallest baby Ryan has ever held! That is pretty special. It is also my Grandpa Taber's birthday on Memorial Day, so I should be able to see him too! As for now, I am going to go hang out on my pink Boppy pillow. I'll write more soon!
