What Amelie's Been Up To Lately

My last several posts have been about Elizabeth, so here's an update on Amelie. This is corny, but she really is our Amelie Joy. She is two months old now and weighs 11 pounds (60th percentile). Although she has her fussy hours, lots of spit-up, and a few too long sleepless periods during the day, she is generally easy-going and sleeps much better than her sister ever did. I had no idea having a baby could be so pleasant and easy sometimes!

It seems that every day she is getting more smily and responsive. She also started laughing two days ago, and those laughs are rare but fabulous! She loves it when we sing to her, coos and "talks" adorably, kicks happily in the baby swing, and just started standing while holding Daddy's hands.Amelie recently discovered her fist, and entertains herself very happily slurping on it. Her poor hands are constantly freezing cold, no matter how warmly I dress her, and being frequently wet doesn't help! Here's a picture of our entertainment this lazy afternoon: blankets are spread out all over the floor (courtesy of Elizabeth), Amelie is sucking on her fist, and Elizabeth is in her "tent" under the baby swing.
"Wait a minute. Who is pulling on my hair?"
I'm so happy to have our baby girl!
