Hi all - I just realized it's been a long time since I've given you an update on Abbie's progress, so here are a few of the highlights:
Abbie is now interacting with things around her much more. She particularly loves to watch things spin above her head (In addition to baby toys, such as the mobile above her crib, she can watch a ceiling fan for half an hour!). She also loves to bat at toys that are in arms reach, especially if they rattle or jingle.
We (finally!) have started to establish some sort of semblance of a regular schedule, with a regular bedtime and feeding times. She does very well on the schedule and gets darn ticked when we vary from it. She's only waking for 1 feeding in the middle of the night (and she sleeps for 4-5 hours before and after that feeding), so I'm getting better sleep nowadays.
On Saturday, the three of us went to the zoo (Marc will post pictures soon!). She was so exhausted from being out all day that she slept for 7 and a half hours straight that night! However, we had to deal with a really crabby Abbie for a few hours before she went to sleep, while trying to get her to bed.
Today - Abbie had her 2 month Dr's appointment. She is now 24 inches and 12.5 lbs (so she's growing really well). She had her first vaccination today, too. She handled the initial shot very well (she screamed for about 5 seconds, and that was it). When her Tylenol started to wear off 4 hours later, she sobbed for about a half hour until the next dose kicked in, but other than that, she's doing fine (she's sleeping alot, but eating very well).
Also, her noise blocking headset arrived in the mail today, so expect to hear about her first experience up in an airplane soon!
