welcome to spiceland.

Heidi had her 2 month appointment today, and she’s doing great! Her head and eye movements are a month or two ahead of schedule. She should be able to follow an object as it is moved left and right, but she can also follow it up and down, which is not expected until around 4 months old. She also rolled over from her belly to her back for the first time on the doctor’s examination table. Exciting! She’s got a small umbilical hernia, which occurs when a small piece of intestines pokes through the abdominal muscles, but it should resolve itself by age 2. She is 10 pounds and 9 ounces and is 21 inches long. It’s hard to believe that she is 2 months old and some babies are born as big as she is now! She’s also started smiling a little, although she smiles much more for her daddy than she does for me. I think she thinks I’m dinner and he’s playtime!

New pictures, including smiles, in the two months folder.
