Arden – 2 months

IMG_7372

Arden turned two months last Friday (the 15th) and had her two month check up the same day. She is still in the 90th percentile for height at 23 1/2 inches and is in the 75th percentile for weight at 12 pounds, 2 ounces.

This month has been marked by lots of smiles and sweet cooing. She is so social – she just loves talking to people and looking at their faces. She still loves being on her changing table and is also a huge fan of her Baby Einstein play mat and the light-up star on it. She will smile and talk to that star for so long. Huston always loved it when he was a baby, too. She loves having her clothes taken off when we’re changing her and she also seems to really enjoy her baths. She never cries when I’m washing her – she just gets sometimes looks surprised or curious about the whole experience.

She still eats about every three hours – usually around 7 am, 10 am, 1 pm, 4 pm, and 7 pm, and wakes up once a night, most often around 4 in the morning. (Edited to add that I also wake her up to feed her at 10 pm before I go to bed. Not that interesting, but I want to remember it.)

Huston just absolutely adores her and will still yell “Arden!” if he doesn’t know where she is. He doesn’t like it when I put her down for a nap. He always wants her to be where we are. It’s so sweet to watch him with her.

Huston Funnies

Funny #1

Conversation between Huston and his red screwdriver two days ago (said in a super-high falsetto voice):

Screwdriver: Hello, Huston. How are you?
Huston: Great! It's good to see you.
Screwdriver: Bye Bye!

Funny #2

I’ve told Huston that Daddy is a lawyer but he pronounces it in the most hilarious way. He says “Daddy go work in office with whales. Daddy work with whales. He’s talking to whales in his office.” Sometimes, I think Clarke would prefer being a whale to a lawyer. :)
