2 Months

Hope this picture of our cutie pie and her dimple make you smile! Zoe turned 2 months old last week! We can't believe our little baby is already 2 months old! She's getting so big! Both Mom and Dad have had the privledge of being shown beautiful smiles by Zoe. I think she's learning how to laugh as well. She's begun chewing on her hands at times when she's not hungry so I think that means she's learning to put things in her mouth. Oh no!!

We put up the Christmas tree today and she seems facinated by the lights. We'll get pictures of her in front of the lights soon. I'll have more pictures posted soon. I've got a bunch to upload when I have a few moments. She has her 2 month check-up on Tuesday and we have a photo session scheduled on Friday. It should be a busy week.

Here are some of Zoe's milestones as listed in the What to Expect The First Year Book: By two months, your baby..... should be able to: -smile in response to your smile yes -respond to a bell in some way, such as startling, crying, quieting yes .....will probably be able to: -vocalize in ways other than crying (e.g. cooing) yes -on stomach, lift head 45 degrees yes but it's a struggle .....may even be able to: -hold head steady when upright yes for short periods -on stomach, raise chest, supported by arms yes -roll over (one way) no -grsp a rattle held to backs or tips of fingers no -pay attention to an object as small as a raisin hard to tell -reach for an object no -say "Ah-goo" or similar vowel consonant combination no .....may possibly be able to: -smile spontaneously yes -bring both hands together no -on stomach, lift head 90 degrees no -laugh out loud no -squeal in delight no -follow an object held about 6 inches above baby's face and moved 180 degrees (from one side to the other), with baby watching all the way yes
