Mary is Two Months Old!


Mary is two months old today. She's not doing much more than she was at one month except for one big thing: she's SMILING! But it's very hard for me to get a picture of her smiling since I'm the one who can get her to smile the best, so you'll have to settle for a half smile.


We think that Mary is turning the corner of her fussing. Our other children started fussing at six weeks, and it continued until they were three months. Mary started fussing earlier, and it looks like she's going to stop earlier as well. I'd better knock on some wood, though, don't you think?

Mary has also started sleeping through the night...I think. She still occasionally gets me up, and we had a couple of bad nights last week. While I don't mind getting up with her once a night, getting a full night's sleep is wonderful!


We all really enjoy having Mary around, but Rachel seems to think that we have gotten her a new play toy. She loves to play with Mary, and Mary is a pretty good sport about it. I can't wait to see the relationship that develops between these two of my daughters!

I'm so glad that Mary is not as fussy now! She looks a lot like you in that first picture, Nikki. And Rachel looks so grown up in the last one!
