The Second Month

Oh my, how Alison has grown! At her two month check up she measured 22.5 inches and 9 lbs. 14 oz. She also had to receive three shot vaccinations and one oral vaccination - I hate that she has to get shots (it is the worst feeling in my heart). During the visit the doc noticed that one leg is longer than the other so Alison will be getting an ultrasound on her hips to check for hip displacia. Later in the second month Alison has been spending more time awake during the day. Also, she has been sleeping 8-10 hours at night for over three weeks (yahoo!). Her neck strength is great and we've begun to spend some time sitting up while propped up against something like a pillow or couch cushion. We've enjoyed lots of smiles and cooing (talking) with Alison this month.

So cute when she cries. Sometimes she even snorts :)

Hey, is that mine?

Love this picture!

She's talking.

Learning to sit up, sorta.

Look at me, I can hold my head up.
