2 Months


"Look at that hair!" We hear comments like that about Ally's hair almost as much as we hear comments about Sophia's eyes. None of her hair has fallen out yet, and no one can decide what color it is exactly. I've tried barrets and headbands, but nothing can quite contain her wild mane. Once the weather cools off, I may have to resort to hats!


Ally is our little peanut, weighing in at 10 lbs 0.4 oz (25th %) and 21.75 inches (5%) . She sleeps 5-7 hours at night, wakes to eat, and falls back asleep until 5am. If I bring her into my bed, she falls right back to sleep until 7:30 or so. I had a feeling that since Sophia was early to bed and early to rise, Ally would be the opposite, and sadly I was right. They were both that way even in the womb, so I don't expect it to change anytime soon. That means I'm up until 11pm with Ally and get woken up every hour starting at about 4:00am. *yawn*

We used to worry that Sophia didn't smile much when she was an infant, but we definitely aren't concerned about that with Ally. She loves to give big toothless grins while cooing and laughing. Unfortunately, between 6pm and 8pm every night, her smiles turn to screams, which makes it difficult to cook dinner and get Sophia to bed. I'm hoping it's a phase she outgrows soon.







Sophia is still totally smitten with her little sister and is thrilled when she can elicit a smile or coo from "Bamy Assyn." The two of them have already found a game that they both seem to enjoy which involves Sophia piling clothes, blankets, etc on Ally. The girls have also "played" together in Sophia's homemade pirate ship and under the sheets in our bed, but Ally wasn't quite sure what to think about these games.



I love this newborn stage, and although I won't miss the sleep deprivation, I'm definitely going to miss having a snuggly little baby who can't scream "No!"

She is such a cutie. Her hair seems to be lighter in these photos than when we were there.
