In her second month, Little Lady started smiling (and not just for gas!). It was so fun to watch her face light up and try a million different things to make her smile over and over again. She also started sleeping through the night (8-10 hours)! Knock on wood everyone that she keeps it up!!! We were only up once a night before when she slept in her cradle, but when I brought her into bed with me she would sleep great. I tried to figure out what was different. In the end, swaddling her ever-wandering arms and giving her a heavy blanket was the cure.
She also had her first bottle. It's nice to be able to go to church or religion classes or on a day trip and not have to worry about wearing the right thing to be able to nurse her. This is a big plus for me!
Her legs are getting stronger and stronger. She loves "standing" and can hold her own body weight really well, she is just a wobble-master. When she isn't on her feet, she is hanging out in her bouncy chair (which is the best $20 I ever spent)... She likes to smile and flirt with the dangling woodland animals that she makes dance.

She is such a fun, happy little girl. I feel so blessed to see her smile every day and night (yes, she smiles in her sleep... must be some good dreams!). She is getting bigger by the day, weighing in at almost 11 lbs and 21" long. Some of her newborn dresses are now 3 month shirts... Oh how time flies!
