2 Months Old!

I can’t believe our little Deja is 2 months old!!  We went to the doctor on Monday and everything is looking normal.  Her Stats were as follows: Head Circumference-15.3 (52%), Length-22.8 inches (65%), and Weight-12.63lbs (89%!!!!) She's our little plumpster and I love it!  At her two-week appointment she weighed a little over 8 lbs and was at the 48%, so it really is quite a jump from then.  I’m going to have to bring out her 3-6 month clothes early I’m sure!!  Deja’s tear ducts still haven’t opened up yet.  We’re hoping they will in the next couple months, because if they don’t we’ll probably have to get surgery for them (around 8 months or so)  So for now we wash out her eyes pretty regularly and massage in between her nose and the corner of her eye, poor thing.  At the doctor she also got 3 shots.  She took ‘em like a champ, but was a pretty ornery girl for the rest of the day.  She didn’t eat very well, and slept a ton, but then she was up half the night last night.  Gotta love it!!

            We love our little girl and it’s fun getting to know her personality.  She makes great faces and is starting to coo and have baby conversations with us.  Occasionally, in the middle of her feedings all she wants to do is talk to me instead of eat. I love looking into her bright blue eyes when we have our chats.  My half of the conversation usually consists of words of encouragement for her to keep eating. 

            One thing that most people always comment about Deja is her awesome hair. I knew her hair was pretty special and crazy from the start, but it’s funny to look at pictures of John and I as babies because although we both had hair, it was nothing like her spiky rocker tresses!!  I still haven’t attempted styling it at all.  I’m kind of afraid if I touch it too much it’s going to fall out, even though I think we’re past that point.  When I do get brave, I’ll post pictures.  Her strands are about 1½ inches, and I feel like they’ve been that same length since she was born. 

My lil' Halloween Cat!

            We have a couple nic-names for Deja.  We call her Deja-Lou, Deja-Ray, Baby-Day, Deja-doodle, etc.  She loves it, ok maybe she hates it, but we love it 

The other night I was going to feed Deja, and usually before I do, I say something like “Are you ready to eat?” or “Are you ready to be fed?”  But since it was late all that came out was, “Are you ready to be eaten?”  Of course John heard me loud and clear and couldn’t stop laughing for like 10 minutes.  It was pretty great.   We love being parents.

We'll see if this video works!  This was the first time she had really acknowledged the mirror on the swing and she just thought it was the greatest thing in the world :)

In other news John has been driving the Honda to work lately because it’s a two door car and the carseat fits better in his car. Anyway the other day after he got home we looked out the window to see the car like this…

The car was parked in our driveway… not the neighbors, which it may look like (this pic is taken from our front door).  It took a 180 Degree turn in slow motion and we only wish we could have seen it happen! He may have forgotten to put on the parking break...    Tender mercy that there weren't any cars driving past, AND our neighbors almost ALWAYS have a car parked behind our driveway and it just so happened that they didn’t when it this all went down!!!

Also I’ve been doing some cleaning in preparation for my parents to get home and found this little beauty in a box in the garage. 

Don’t worry it’s just 9 months old, leftover from my sisters wedding!!!  It is gluten free though if anyone’s interested... and hard as a rock, but still looks oh so elegant!!  So elegant that I had to take at least 3 pictures of it before throwing it out for good ;)
