Isabella's Two Month Check-Up

Isabella turned two months old last week! It is hard to believe that our little baby is growing so fast already. She had her 2 month check-up yesterday, which included the first set of shots. That was definitely not a pleasant experience for either of us! Rather than a screaming mad cry, she let out a very sad pathetic wail with big giant tears. Poor little girl! Bella seemed to feel okay throughout the day though, so the shots didn't affect her too much.
We also found out Bella's new measurements! She is now 22 1/2" which is in the 55th percentile for her age. She weighs 12 lbs and 11 oz, which is the 90th percentile. And her head circumference is now 16"- the 95th percentile! So she is definitely growing well- although she seems to be growing more in chubbiness rather than length! That may follow the path of Mommy though, as I was definitely short when I was younger. She also seems to have inherited the big "Huyser head." Sorry Bella!
She also had an awesome night last night! I put her to sleep around 9, and she didn't wake up until 6 AM! That was pretty nice to get so much uninterrupted sleep. I'm not holding out hope that it will happen again anytime soon. :) Especially since we need to start transitioning her into her crib! She is now getting too big for her bassinet. Here are some updated pictures of our little cutie!

Here is one of her big giant smiles! She is a very happy girl the majority of the time. She has really started to interact with us even more these past few weeks. She LOVES talking- definitely a true girl!
What? I'm 2 months old?
That's a better look!

Bella has a favorite sleeping position... snuggled up on somebody's chest! She refuses to go to sleep any other way. She also has a new friend to comfort her, which you can see in this picture. We think that she may be a thumbsucker!

Bath time is a favorite part of her day! She loves to splash around in the water.
This is typically how "tummy time" has played out for Bella... She would just lay there and suck on her hand.
However, this week, she decided that she was now ready to start lifting her head and chest off the floor! Derek and I were like, where did that come from?
This is before we went to the doctor's office... Such a happy girl, and then she was poked three times!
The after picture. She was still pretty smiley later in the day though. :)
