Dear Kacie,
You are 2 months old now!
I can hardly believe it's been that long... and yet 2 months isn't long at all! (I think all of my blog posts to you are going to start out this way.)
We had your 2 month check up appointment.
They said that you are a healthy growing baby!
You now weigh 11 pounds 10 ounces!! (57%) You have gained almost 4 pounds since birth!! You are 23 inches long! (74%)
You got 6 vaccinations at the appointment. One orally and 5 shots in your legs. You obviously didn't like that!!
I guess that you have had a viral infection. You've been having diarrhea and throwing up a little. The doctor said it should go away in the next couple of days... I sure hope so cause it's messy!! But you haven't had a fever or been fussy so at least it's not too bad!
You are growing out of your 0-3 month clothes and have grown out of your newborn stuff. The other day, I thought that I could get a newborn onsie on you but it was a little tight to get it over your head! Since we see you everyday, we still feel like you are the same size.

You absolutely love your pacifier! It makes dad and I very happy because if you are upset, we can just give it to you and it will calm you down. Plus, it is the cutest thing for me to watch!
I've got to be honest though, you love that thing so much that it got me to thinking, "What is it about a pacifier that is so appealing to babies and why don't we, as adults, have pacifiers" So, I was able to hold off a month and a half of your life, but I just had to know what it was like. So, realizing that they are much much smaller in my mouth than in yours, I sucked on your pacifier.
I don't know hun. I feel like if I had an adult sized pacifier, I might enjoy it too!
We got your hair into a ponytail! You have so much hair, almost as much as Daddy, except yours is a lot longer than his! I love it and am so excited for it to get a little bit thicker so we can put bows in it without the headband.
You love to grab on to things. if we are holding you, you will grab at everything, our necks, our mouths, our clothes...
I think the best thing about being a parent is that we feel like we already know you. when you were about 3 weeks old some friends came to meet you. One of them has a baby too and she asked me if I felt like I knew you and I thought I did feel like that. But then one day when you were about 5 weeks old, I was holding you and you were just staring at me. All the sudden it was like I really have known you forever.
It's not really something I can describe. It's a feeling that you wouldn't know until it happened. But Kacie, I know that the gospel is true. I know that The Plan of Happiness, Heavenly Fathers plan, is real! We will be a family forever and that just makes everything better!
You still love to talk to your dad more than me. You will sometimes talk to me but when dad gets home, or before he leaves for work, you just love to talk to him. It's the cutest thing ever!
Well Kacie, we love you so much!
Love,
Mom and Dad
