2 month milestones

Smiling and cooing all the time now without us initiating it. We can have her in our lap and be looking at the TV and she'll look up and give us the biggest grin and say "A-goo". It just melts your heart.
Holding her head up is getting easier and allows her to check out everything around her. She loves to look around at new things in new places.

She's trying to roll over, but hasn't quite figured it out yet. She gets frustrated if she moves around alot and doesn't know where she's going. I try to help her out when I can to show her how to roll over.


Kayla's now grabing and holding onto things nowdays. Its still not very coordinated, but she's getting better. She'll bat at toys hanging above her head and squeals in delight when they make music b/c of her actions. I'm staring to offer soft and hard toys for her to hold and play with and she doesn't quite know what to do with them yet. Here she is holding cards as we play Rook with Chad's parents. She was quite attentive to the cards, until she got hungry.


We're in the process of getting Kayla on a schedule so that she'll sleep through the night. She is doing ok so far. BIG NEWS!! She slept through the night for the first time Sunday night, Sept 2, 2007. I however, couldn't sleep that night and had a bad night. It hasn't been consistent though. The night after, she woke up one other time and last night she woke up 2 other times. We're still working out the kinks. I used to feed her everytime she woke up during the night b/c I assumed that she was hungry, but this great book "On Becoming Baby Wise" tells me that we should just let her cry for 10 min. then go in to console her. I usually just go in, reposition her on her side, give her the pacifier, and play her lullaby music. That usually works and I only have to do it once each time she wakes up now days. The idea is for her to "self soothe" eventually so that she won't cry at night. We'll see what the nights ahead bring.
We have established a nightime routine and she goes to bed quite well nowdays around 10:00. We'll see how it goes when I go back to work next week full time.
