2 already?

Yup, it's official, baby girl is two months old. That is crazy. Here is some typical 2 month development:

She will likely now be on a more predictable schedule and will probably be nursing or drinking 5-6 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours. [she eats every 2 - 3 hours and still sleeps a lot!] At this age you can expect your baby to smile [yes, but no on command yet], laugh [no] and make noises [yes], lift her head and chest up while lying on her stomach [for sure], turn toward sounds and to follow you around with her eyes [yes]. If using a pacifier [yup!], try and restrict its use to when your baby seems to need the self-comforting behavior of sucking. Avoid using it every time your baby cries (it is usually better to pick and hold your baby to comfort her when she is crying). [she would prefer to be held ALL DAY!]

Finn and Korri got dressed up in their party clothes and we went to Lily and Juliette's second birthday party on Sunday. Becky did an amazing job on their cake (Noah's Ark) and the girls got lots of good presents. You know your child has too much stuff when you are at a birthday party and you realize your child has half of the gifts that were opened (the other half were pink, so he didn't have them)! I enjoyed watching Finn interacting with all the other kids, even though he couldn't really keep up with them. He didn't seem to mind, though.

Monday, Becky and Austin came over for dinner before Pete's basketball game. It had been way too long since we'd seen Austin. Finn was in heaven. At one point Austin said, "My, isn't is wonderful now that Finnegan can walk?" Never has there been a truer statement uttered! The next day, Finn labeled everything Austin had played with...Austin's ping pong ball, Austin's hockey stick, Austin's basketball!

Finn's EI team came over yesterday morning. It was a really good visit and I love that they are willing to help me with and give suggestion for Korri. What do "normal" parents do who don't have a team like this?!?! Oh, and while they were here...Korri rolled over!!! I just about died and of course, didn't get the video camera soon enough (I did get the next attempt on video, but it wasn't completely unassisted like the first one was!). Now, keep in mind that the PT was working with her and had her in the optimal position, but she did the work! Crazy. Since she sleeps so much on her tummy, they want her to be able to roll sooner rather.

That night, Jess and Jason came over and brought dinner! So thoughtful and yummy. I love eating together at the same time as Finn...doesn't happen very often. They also gave Korri a super cute sweatsuit from The Gap...I think the cutest thing a kid can wear is a Gap sweatshirt! Thank you so much guys! Glad we could find an evening that worked.

Today my aunt Karen came over with her two kids, Anthony and Rachel. Both kids LOVED Korri and kept wanting to hold her (except when she was crying;). I think that is so cute. Then they invited Finn to go to Como zoo with them, which I thought was very nice. Finn was all about going until he realized that mommy wasn't going...but Karen said he did great and had a fun time. After they dropped him off and he took a nap, he had to tell me about the lions and tigers and tell daddy about the giraffe's and elephants when he got home. I think Finn enjoyed himself! We also stopped by to see our friends Lisa and Samuel just before dinner. Lisa is 30 weeks pregnant and on bedrest, so it was good to see her with my own eyes and see how good she is doing. Finn loved playing with Samuel and all of his toys (they have the same interests...balls and trucks!).

Wow, lots going on, I guess. I'm sure I forgot a ton of stuff, but that's what happens when I don't blog every day. See people, I actually blog every day because I'm lazy and can't remember things ;)
