TWO

This little bird is two months old! Delilah's over 8 pounds now, though still a skinny thing. (Not too many rolls just yet, but we're working on it! She's got a little double chin happening.) Our sweet girl loves her WubbaNub, being sung to by mommy (Christmas carols, lately), bouncing on a yoga ball with daddy and cruising along in her stroller. And when I say "loves" what I really mean is that these things soothe her and usually put her to sleep! Which has been a challenge at times, as baby girl has been going through a fussy phase the past week or so. But we are trying to take it in stride knowing that it means she is growing and developing. She seems to have discovered that her hands are, in fact, hers and she's getting better at grasping things, including her beloved WubbaNub pacifier. She even grabbed Daddy's nose! And social smiles are on the horizon :) Delilah definitely smiles in her sleep or when she passes gas, and we've seen a few grins here and there... I could have swore she was smiling at Jasper the other day! But I'm waiting for the momentous occasion when I (or Greg) do something hilarious (by her standards, anyway) and there is no mistaking that those upturned lips are an intentional smile in our distinct direction. Overall, Delilah is more alert than ever, her bright eyes taking it all in... Sometimes she gets overwhelmed and other times she is happy and content to soak in life. Those latter moments are fleeting but precious.
