10 Weeks: Double Digits!

Happy that the Steeler's beat the Eagles!  :)

Well my little girl has officially reached double digits in age and weight!  She turned 10 weeks on Sunday and I can't believe it!  She is becoming more and more alert each day and is interacting more with me.  It makes me fall even more in love with her.  We had our 2 month check up on Monday this week and she is growing like a weed.  She weighed 10 lbs 9 oz and was 22.5 inches long.  That means she gained 2 lbs and grew 2 inches since her 1 month visit!  It's crazy, I knew she was getting bigger but when you put numbers to it, it makes it seem like so much more!  She had to get 2 shots and one vaccine administered orally.  I was dreading it because I was sure she was going to scream her lungs out for minutes on end, but actually the scream wasn't that bad and only lasted for about 3 seconds!  She is such a brave little girl.  :)  I was nervous that she would have a reaction to the vaccines, but she did great.  No fever and not really cranky either.   Such a trooper!  Check out her two month picture and then look at her 1 month, so many changes!  :)

This week was pretty uneventful.  I'm finished painting pumpkins so it was my first real week at home with just Millie and Mommy.  It's amazing the routine that baby girl fell into.  She gets up around 8, has morning bottle, plays a little, sleeps until 12ish, has a bottle, plays a little, sleeps until about 4, has a bottle and is up until about 7 and then sleeps until about 8 or 9 has another bottle, and then goes to bed.  She has been doing a lot of sleeping this week and weekend, not sure if that's a sign of a growth spurt or what?!?!?  We have really made an emotional connection this week, being just the two of us during the day.  She smiles and laughs at me all the time and it really makes you want to "play" with her more.  I feel a little guilty that it has taken me until 10 weeks to feel like a real mom (not that I didn't love and adore her for the past 10 weeks), but this week it really hit me just how much I love her and love being a Mom. I just found out that friends of mine are expecting next spring and it is such exciting news.  They are going to make wonderful parents and I'm so glad that they get to have this experience.  She is going to be an amazing Mom and I'm so happy that she was blessed with this pregnancy.  :) 

Watching the game!

Cousin Callen had his 2nd birthday party this weekend so Millie got to hang out with family and friends there.  I have a feeling she is going to be like a turtle when we go places.  It seems that when there is a lot going on, she just closes her eyes and falls asleep!  We also went up to my Mom's to watch the Steeler's beat the Eagles.  She was all decked out in her Steeler's garb and fit in great with Pop-Z!  :)

With Cousin Callen and Uncle B!
