Getting Older

Yesterday I turned 26.. closer to 30 now! Crazy to think about. We got to enjoy a night out - we went to Caffe Navona and had some yummy Italian food. We skipped the canolis and went to Denville Dairy for dessert instead. Thaaat's right. And we survived a few hours away from Nora. Had to happen sometime!

The babysitters, and 'Mommy and Daddy':

And today, Nora turns 2 months old!! I can't believe it. Time really is flying. As promised, here are her 2 month shots with the elephant. Also, showing off her train from Grandma Diane!

Mommies are for drying tears

We just got back from Nora's 2 month appointment -- she now weighs 10 lbs 1 oz. and is 23 1/2 inches long. She is now in the 90th percentile for height and "a smidgen under" 50th percentile for weight. Still my tall and skinny girl! The doctor was satisfied with her growth.

We need to start doing more tummy time, as the doctor noticed - by her oddly shaped head - that she favors the left side. He said it should even out by 6 months as long as we try to keep her off her back while she's awake.

The doctor also noticed her "princess" attitude.. haha.. don't bother the princess!! I think we're in for a wild ride when she gets older!

Today she also got her first two shots - one in each leg. The nurse did great, and it was over before I realized it started. I was doing ok until I saw the real tears coming from Nora.. a first for me.. I waited until the nurse left the room to start my sniffling. So I comforted Nora while my mommy comforted me. But by the time she was bundled up in her carseat (with a pacifier in her mouth of course), she was fine. She is now very sleepy.. I am anticipating a long night ahead of me - lots of cuddling and a little Tylenol, and she'll be back to normal in a day or two.

Nora is all dressed up today!
