Jayleigh's Two Month Photos

Oh my goodness. Where does all of the time go? Seriously, I am almost 2 weeks late posting Jayleigh's 2 month photos...which means she's 2 1/2 months old! What?!! Anyways, this past month (and a 1/2...) has been a lot more fun than the first month! I love newborns, don't get me wrong, but I also love sleep! Just in the past couple of weeks I think we've finally gotten Jayleigh's nights and days straightened out! She still has her moments, but for the most part, she only wakes up once during the night! Sweet! And with Daddy home from his work travels, it makes it that much easier! I nurse...he gives her the bottle...we're all happy! :)

Darron says, "she's a lot more fun now," that she smiles and giggles and is more awake and aware! She's half giggled a few times, but we've both been trying to get her to actually laugh, and she finally did it a couple of nights ago! It's the sweetest sound ever and seriously brings tears to my eyes every time! This adorable little person is growing up so fast! We just love talking and playing with her and making her smile and laugh! Good times! I just love our sweet little family!!! :D

So what else has happened in the past month and a half... Well we had Thanksgiving at Darron's Uncle Glen & Aunt Anneta's place (also where the Marysville convention is), and then Darron's mom, Joyce, came back home with us to stay for a week while Darron was gone. He left the Monday after Thanksgiving to work near Salt Lake City for two weeks...we missed him terribly!! And the week before Thanksgiving he was out there also, and coincidentally that was the same week I went back to work, so that was not a fun week for our family. I enjoy my work, and I'm glad my baby is cared for by family, but it's so hard to leave her every morning! And I think it gets more and more difficult the older she gets because she's more aware...and she watches me leave...so hard!! But we make up for the missed cuddles and kisses in the evenings, so that's extra special! :)

Anyways...other than that, we've just been busy living and enjoying life. So without further ado...I give you Jayleigh's two month pictures... (just as a note...it was incredibly hard to pick just a few to post here!)...

At Jayleigh's 2 month checkup, she was 10 lbs & 22.6" long. She was in the 40th percentile for weight and 70th for length. She seems to be longer now than she was 2 weeks ago even...long and thin, just like Daddy :) She also has Daddy's long fingers! I know it's too early to tell, but we're thinking this little girl might be tall! Or at least surpass Mommy...but that's not hard to do ;)

This last picture of her sucking on her fingers is a common sight...when she can find them, she uses her own fingers to self-soothe, but she also likes her binkies :) Btw, this adorable outfit was the very first one I bought, the very day we found out we were having a girl! :)

Well, I will try to get some pictures of family up soon... Thanks for stopping by! :)
