Happy 2-month birthday, Raleigh!

Wow! We've passed the 2-month marker with Raleigh. It's been crazy; it's been fun; it's been tiring. But, I think we are getting the hang of this two-child household gig.

Raleigh had her 2-month doctor visit this afternoon and everything looks great. Yay! Here are a few vitals and some other updates on her developmental progress.

• Height: 23.75"
• Weight: 12.0 lbs.
• Disposition: Awesome! Raleigh is such a sweet baby. She is usually very easy to soothe and doesn't really get majorly upset. So far she has had any multiple hour crying jags like her brother. Keep your fingers crossed that she doesn't start now!
• Skills: She can hold her head up for short periods of time and will try to move her head around a little bit. If she is on her tummy, she can raise up her head and shoulders for a few seconds. She likes to stand in your lap and will press against anything that touches her feet. She's also tracking moving objects with her eyes and head. She is also cooing a lot more and smiles often. (That's my favorite skill.)
• Likes: Mostly everything. Some of her favorite things are sleeping on you and bath time.
• Dislikes: She gets aggravated when her hands are immobilized by the swaddle or the car sear straps. She also does not care for cold milk. Oh yeah, the nose sucker is not her favorite thing either, but she doesn't stay upset once you're done.

Happy birthday, sweet angel. We love you very much!
