Rylee posing for her 2 month pics in her giraffe outfit, from my friend Nichole, and with her giraffe from her Great Grandma Sally.
Rylee is 2 months old! I know I say this all the time but she truly is growing up so fast. She is getting stronger and stronger everyday. Not just her neck but her legs too. When you hold her in your lap she will try to straighten her legs and push up. She is also smiling more and more now. Although she doesn't really like to smile for the camera. Every once in a while I catch those smiles but I don't think she likes the red light that goes off from my camera. Her sleeping pattern is still about the same. We put her to bed around 9 and she usually wakes up around 3 in the morning and then again between 6 and 7. She sleeps good during the day too.
We had her 2 month Dr.'s appointment yesterday. She had to get her 2 month shots (Pediarux, HIB, Prevnar, and Rotateq) Brad and I really didn't like to see her in pain when she got her shots. She was in such a good mood, cooing away, and then screamed when she got pricked. I was happy though that when the nurse was done I picked Rylee up and hugged her and she almost stopped crying immediately. We gave her a little bit of Children's tylenol yesterday for her pain and in case if she got a fever. She acted pretty normal yesterday though and never got a fever so we were relieved.
Rylee has grown a lot this past month...as I am sure you can tell by her pictures. At least we know she is a good eater! I need to take a picture of her thighs. They're all rolly polly and so cute! I think it is the only time in life that rolls like that are considered to be cute. Here's Rylee's 2 month measurements:
Weight: 12 lbs. 8 ozs. (90th percentile)
Height: 23 3/8 in. (85th percentile)
Head: 39 1/2 cm. (75th percentile)
So this is my last week of maternity leave (I took one extra week...9 instead of 8). I am pretty sad about it. My mom is going to be here next week so at least my first week back Rylee will be here with my mom. That makes me feel better and it will be a nice transition before work and daycare. I sure have enjoyed my maternity leave! I love spending all day, everyday, with Rylee. She is just so darn cute, she must get a hundred kisses a day from me. It will be very hard to leave her and go back to work...hopefully I can be strong.

She is such a cutie - beautiful! I hope your transition back to work goes okay :)...as good as can be expected. Can't wait to see everyone!
Love,

Great photos...What a big girl! It is crazy how fast the time goes.
Colin and I love the pics with her arm around the giraffe! Wondering if she did that all on her own or had a little help from mom? =) She's such a cutie - love the chubby cheeks! Looking forward to seeing you all sometime soon!
Love, Stacey, Colin, and Baby Girl (almost 24 wks!)
Have a great first week back at work! Memories of those adorable smiles will help you through those tough "missing you" times. It'll be SOOOO nice to have your mom there to help with the adjustment. We're all excited about meeting Rylee this coming Saturday - sounds like she'll enjoy the "road trip"! Drive safely, and we'll see you all soon! Auntie Susie, Uncle Mike, Tara and Tanner
Need more pictures of that cute face.
