Ruthie Mae at 2 months

She was laughing at big brother.

She keeps growing and growing...Roop is so much bigger than James ever thought of being! At her 2 month appointment she was 10 lbs. 15.5 oz (so basically 11 lbs.). James was 9 lbs. 6 oz.! Roop is 23 inches long which is about the same as James at that time.

Bath time!

Angel's not impressed.

She still is very irregular with her sleeping, but is definitely awake more during the day. On her 2 month birthday, she decided to nap more. Not only did she sleep most of the night, she slept 6 more hours after she woke up around 6 something that morning to eat. She didn't make a peep which freaked us out a bit (and hurt my boobs).

Siblings.

James love sitting by his sister.

She started going to the babysitter with big brother this month. Ms. Jane was very excited about having a baby again. I struggled knowing how much milk to send but we finally established that she usually drinks three 3 oz. bottles. I just make sure I send four just in case!

Jane sent this to me the first day I left her there. Made my day.

Roop's favorite toy is her "jungle gym," she can fit into some of her 3 month clothes, and she's a mommy's girl!!

Jungle gym time!

She's been on a few runs with me this month including a race! Her mileage PR is 9 miles.

Roop's ready to run!

Potential 2 month milestones:

Follows moving person with eyes...CHECK.

All smiles.
Responds to familiar voices...PARTIAL CHECK. She definitely knows my voice.
