Yesterday I took Capri in for her two month check up.
Here are her stats:
Weight: 11 lbs 13 oz - 55%
Height: 22.5" - 50%
Head Circumference: 39cm - 52%
Pretty evenly proportioned :)
She's still a great baby! In this past month she has learned to smile, coo, hold her head up pretty well, and cry. Ok, so she knew how to cry before, but honestly she rarely ever, ever cried, and if she did, it would be maybe for 5 seconds max. Now she'll have a fussy moment here and there. But it's usually just to tell me something. For example, she was getting really fussy at night between 8-8:30, turns out, that's just what time she likes to go to bed. In the dark. So us having the lights on and not putting her to sleep was making her cranky.
She's a pretty easy going little lady, but I have noticed a few little favorites of hers:
She's a finger sucker. I'm trying to fight it, and push a paci, but she's putting up a real good fight of her own.
She likes to clasp her hands together. She usually doesn't try to wiggle out when she's swaddled (unless she really wants to suck those fingers), but she will wiggle her hands loose so she can clasp them in the middle.
Her favorite way to be held/cuddle/sleep is for me to hold her on her side on my chest so her ear is right over my heart. I love it too, and it makes me feel like the sound of my own heart is still soothing to her, even though I'm sure she can hardly even hear it.
She's a great sleeper. I never have to stay up with her at night, and she usually only wakes to eat once. And if I'm tired and want to nap while Calin is napping, I just cuddle with her in my bed, and she will sleep along with me till I (or Calin) wake her up.
And she's a big cuddler. I love it. Calin never was, but this girl loves to snuggle.
She's not a fan of the activity mat. It was Calin's favorite! Maybe she'll grow to love it, but so far I can only leave her under there for 2-3 minutes before she starts to get upset. She does love her bouncer though, and I bet she would enjoy a swing if we had one.
Smiles- oh I love her smiles! She just recently started smiling with us, and she is most smiley when she wakes up in the morning or from naps. It's hard to get a good picture of her smile though, because she opens her eyes super big at the same time, and in person it's darling, but I haven't been able to capture the cuteness on camera yet. But heres a cute small smile...
Calin is still so good with her. He loves to kiss her and softly rub her head. Just today he noticed her smiling back at him for the first time, and oh my was he excited! He has a pretty big smile as it is, but somehow his smile got bigger than I have ever seen it before, and he just kept smiling super big and taking to her so she would keep smiling back, it was such a sweet moment!
And here's a video of her sucking her finger
LOVE those dimples!

Good numbers. I need to come over this next week and practice reflexes and stuff on her, if you don't mind? I have a test and it'd be good to see them in action.
She is so sweet, I love her.
HAHAHAHA Her and Maylee probably are exactly the same size. HILARIOUS! What a good girl you have there. Her and Maylee aren't much alike, the exact opposites almost personality wise well besides liking the bouncer and being a good sleeper :)
Can't wait to see her soon!
She is an adorable little lady. I loved seeing her suck on her finger. Such cute dimples. I can't wait until mom and dad get tired of pulling their hair out in frustration and ship them off to Grandpa Spence's house for the summer.
she is so, so sweet!
Capri already weighs more than Daphnee, but Daphnee has a few inches on her. :) Adorable pictures. Can't wait to meet her!!
