6/15/2009 - 2 Months

We had Alissa's two month appointment on 6/15/09. The doctor was again pleased with how healthy and beautiful she is. He noticed that she has a very mello personality and informed me how lucky we are as another patient of his has a Colicky baby that never stops crying and is Alissa’s same age. Alissa now weighs 10.87 lbs. and is 22.24 inches. Her weight is 49% while her length is 43%. She is a very happy baby and is starting to smile more and more. She even laughs sometimes.

At 7 weeks, Alissa grabbed a small 2 oz bottle from Kim and started holding it. She held it with the pinky and thumb on the bottom and the other fingers on top. It was so cute. One week later, at 8 weeks, she grabbed a normal sized bottle from me and started feeding herself again. She is such a smart baby.  Around 9 weeks old, she started sticking her tounge out more and curling it. She also blows bubbles all the time so daddy calls her “Bubbles McBarfy Pants”. This picture was taken on June 8, 2009 and you can see how she holds things and blows bubbles. We love our little girl so much. We feel very lucky to have her.

We took Alissa swimming for the first time on June 29, 2011. We took her to Aunt Kathy's swimming pool. She seemed to really like it. Here are a few pictures of her that day.
