Baby girl had her 2month well check...

She is now 23 inches long and 11 pounds 8 ounces! I tried to put her in one of my favorite outfits yesterday and she was too big for it. It was a sad day.

Sunday, Natalie turned 2 months old! I looked over the last entry I posted and her sleeping habits have changed quite a bit. Right around 6 weeks she started sleeping longer during the night. In that entry I wrote that she has slept 8 hours waking up only once to eat and went straight back to sleep. Since then she has pretty much cut out the feeding. She typically falls to sleep anywhere from 9:30 to 11 and sleeps up to 8.5 hours. She has only slept that long once but last night she slept 7 hours.

At her doctor's appointment she had to get 3 shots and a liquid medicine. She cried pretty hard while getting them but when it was over and I got to cuddle and comfort her she calmed down really fast and was back to her normal, happy self! It was a long appointment by the time it was over but Natalie fell asleep on the way home and slept until after noon. She has pretty much slept all day.

On Valentine's Day we got to enjoy the outdoors for the first time! We went to Mitch Park in Edmond and walked the trails with Melissa while she walked her doggy, Snickers. The next day Natalie and I went to Lake Hefner and walked those trails.

We have noticed that her hair looks lighter. Last Thursday, Heather came over and we went to check the mail and Natalie's head looked like a glowing red ball! When I saw it I said, "Natalie's hair looks RED! Uh oh, She's gonna be a ginger and Uncle Q is going to have a ball with that!" Since then, my parents and Seth's Nana have said something about how red her hair looks. :D

OH! We also had her first play date! One of my coworkers' wife had her daughter on December 8, so they are pretty close in age. We joked that they would be twins because that was Natalie's due date. So, on February 8 we went over to her place and visited and let the babies lay on the tummy time mat and hang out. ;D

On Sunday, I caught Natalie sucking her thumb over a half dozen times! I think it is so amazing how she is learning and knows what she is doing with her hands. At first they just flail and go everywhere, but now I have seen her suck her thumb, take her pacifier out with her hands, and last Saturday Melissa took a picture of her holding the bottle she was drinking from by herself! That's my little genius!
