2 Months Old

not a perfect photo, but I like how you can see her red hair and eyebrows!

 At the risk of sounding trite, I can hardly believe she is 2 months old already! She goes in for her Dr. visit Tuesday morning, and we will have her latest stats and probably a few shots. p

Anastasia is a sweet baby. She seems a little more serious than Stephen was. She often makes a concentrating type of face (not when making a diaper!), but does offer sweet little smiles here and there. She is also starting to coo and goo at us. So nice to hear her voice without her crying! She loves when her siblings sing "Twinkle, twinkle." She is a good sleeper so far. I nurse her at 8pm and usually lay her down for the night around 9:15pm. Most nights she will sleep until about 3:15am. But of course she is not a robot so that varies. Sometimes it is only 1:15, and a few times she made it to 5am! Her naps are around an hour and usually happen in the swing or Moby wrap because I just don't have time to rock her to sleep every hour, and she stays awake for about an hour inbetween. She is already getting to the point where she will not sleep out and about. :( She will still sleep in the car as long as it is on but wakes up as soon as you take her out. So I have a feeling our outings will be dwindling for a while until she can stay awake a little longer! It is no fun shopping with a tired screaming baby.

She looks a lot like Mariana's baby pictures, so Mariana has decided she will grow up to look exactly like her. I wouldn't mind that...she is beautiful girl!

We sure are thankful for this sweet baby girl and are happy to watch her grow.
