2 Months Old

Izzie is 2 months old today. Part of me says "Wow! It's already been 2 months?" The other part of me says "Wow! It's only been 2 months?"

It seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant. One of my favorite things about Izzie when she was in utero was the morning. I would wake up about 5:00 a.m., and she would still be awake after kicking and squirming starting about 4:00 a.m. I would get into the bathtub and talk to her as I laid there watching my stomach move in all kinds of odd ways. I felt a special kind of closeness with her then. I was actually afraid that I might lose some of that when she was no longer "part" of me.

Mind you, though, I have not lost that closeness. It is even better. I know that she knows that I am and will forever be her "mommy." She trusts me completely, and I feel like the most blessed person in the whole wide world every time I look at her, feed her, play with her, dress her, dry her tears, and clean up her poop! I enjoy her more and more every day. I love the fact that she is interacting with me and other things around her. I really like that I can distinguish her cries from one another. (I hurt sounds alot different than I'm sleepy!)

She's holding her head up with good balance and is on the verge of crawling. She is reaching for things in her sight; although, most of the time she misses! She smiles! (I love that smile!:) She "talks" not just cries. Rolling over is a piece of cake.

She sure has changed alot since last month!
