December 4, 2011: Ellie is 2 Months Old!

At 2 months old, Ellie is really starting to interact. We have been able to receive some smiles and coos from our little girl and it just melts our hearts. One night, Grant found that bouncing Ellie up and down could produce a big, gummy smile every time. Isn't this just the cutest thing you've ever seen?

Some additional 2 month milestones include:

• At her 9 week appointment, Ellie weighed 11 pounds and was 22 3/4 inches long.
• She recognizes our voices and seems to look for us when she hears us.
• When we hold her upright in front of us, she can stand and respond to our talking with coos and noises.
  
• And most importantly, she has slept through the night (7.5-10.5 hours!) almost every night since Thanksgiving!

As Ellie grows and becomes more interactive, it makes parenting that much sweeter. All our exhaustion melts away when you see a face like this:
