Thanksgiving Visit

My parents came in to spend Thanksgiving with us. Dad was super good at getting Kayla to fall asleep.

Random Pictures--Nov

Just a few random pictures taken in Nov.

Two Month Dr Visit

Kayla had her 2 month Dr visit. Here are the highlights.....

Wt: 7 lb 8 oz
Kayla is in the 4% which means she is still small but growing....Seriously we did not expect her to be average.
Immunization: First 4 shots in. Kayla took the shots well but was not happy later when her leg hurt. She ran a slight fever but nothing a little Tylenol could not fix.
All and all Kayla is doing well.. YIPPEE

Two Month Update

Within the second month of life Kayla should be....

* Vocalize in ways other then crying-- Kayla has discovered her voice she loves to coo but also loves to yell out or squeal in a high pitched voice. I will say she is being heard.

* Respond to noise--- The dogs bark and Kayla startles

* On stomach lift head 45 degrees-- Kayla is getting stronger and stronger and is able to lift her head 45 degrees. She can also hold up her head steady for a bit before she gets tired and look side to side.

* On stomach rise chest supported by arms-- Kayla has just started to do this in her 9th week of life. It is amazing to watch her achieve these milestones.

* Grasp a rattle in her hands-- We are working hard on this one. Kayla will grasp small things like the strap on the camera or pull your hair. Several times she got my hair and my necklace. While the grandparents were here there was a lot of chest hair pulling.

* Smile-- This has been the best milestone yet. Kayla smiles and it will melt your heart, I promise you. Just recently she had added in a squeal of delight which is so much fun! Kayla has also started responding to my smile. Not every time I smile at her but at least once a day.

Couple of things we are working on...

Still working the tummy time

Reaching for objects... not sure on this one yet

Focus on a small object-- I need better confirmation
