Growing Like a (Very Cute) Weed

Monday Carina turned 2 months old. Holy crap. Where did the time go? She spent the day playing on her monkey mat and sleeping. Tuesday she had her check-up. She now weighs 10 pounds 2 ounces and is 20 inches long. We were amazed. She's such a little chub! She had her first shots and was NOT a fan at all. Three in her legs and she screamed like she has never screamed before. Poor little thing had quieted down by the time we got to the car but had snot, spit and tears all over her face (and my shirt).

She recovered nicely. Slept it off once we got home with Daddy. She did wake up from her nap howling again but after a snack and another nap she was back to her cheerful self. She slept well and never had any other side effects. What a zen baby we have.

Last night we had dinner with friends at their home. They grilled burgers, we took pasta salad and chocolate peanut butter cake. Carina was mostly awake all evening so I wasn't really surprised when she slept 9 hours last night. Uninterrupted sleep is heavenly. We've been waking up once per night for the past week and a half while she has adjusted to the sleep sack. Maybe this means she's back to sleeping through the night!

Had a good day today. Lots of playing and sleeping. Three weeks till I return to work and I'm trying my best not to think about it.
