Lakelyn turned two months old on May 10th, 2015! I can't believe how fast time is going by! I swear it seems like yesterday this sweet girl entered the world and changed my world the second she popped out!
Tyler's aunt gave me a book "What To Expect The First Year" and in all honesty I have not read it, but I look at the "What your baby may be doing" part to see where she is at with her age compared to the "average" I guess you could say. Although, I may just read the book if I ever get a chance (along with the "love language" book and the Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" book).
Anyway, at two months old Lakelyn can do all the things that a baby her age should be able to do including:
- smile in response to your smile
- respond to a bell in some way
She can also do all the things a baby her age probably would be able to do including:
- vocalize in ways other than crying
- lift head 45 degrees while lying on stomach
She can also do some of the things a baby her age may be able to do including:
- hold head steady when upright (for a few minutes at least and then it tends to drop)
- grasp a rattle held to the backs or tips of fingers (if you give it to her she can, but she doesn't grab for it)
- say "ah-goo" or similar vowel-consonant combinations
she cannot:
- on stomach, raise chest, supported by arms
- roll over one way
- reach for an object
- pay attention to an object as small as a raisin (I'm not sure about this one because I don't put anything that small near her)
Lakelyn can do almost all of the things a baby her age may possibly be able to do including:
- smile spontaneously
- bring both hands together
- on stomach, lift head 90 degrees
- squeal in delight
- follow an object held about 6 inches above the baby's face and moved 180 degrees (from one side to the other) with baby watching the whole way
she cannot:
- laugh out loud (she has a little bit in her sleep while dreaming, but I can't wait until she can)
Some things Lakelyn does not like right now are:
- hiccups
- being put in her car seat
- she will not sleep flat on her back. She doesn't mind sleeping in her rock & play or car seat which is at an incline, but unless she's awake and playing she doesn't like laying flat on her back
- being gassy or hungry
- me putting her down to get ready in the mornings or putting her down when she's tired and is fighting sleep
this is her "make the hiccups stop" face
Some things Lakelyn likes right now are:
- bath time
- getting changed
- people talking to her
- grabbing my shirt while she's laying on my chest
- rubbing soft materials
- her swing
- music
- moving around (walking, bouncing, riding in the car, swing, rocking, anything that has movement)
- morning time chats
- morning time snuggles
- me cuddling her to sleep
- laying on her belly
- selfies
Lakelyn has also learned at 7 weeks how to rub her eyes when she is tired, has a new love for her paci when she is falling fighting sleep, went to the lake for the first time (no boat or water just visiting), went to the beach for the first time (again, no water), hold her hands together on her chest or on mine while im feeding her, she will kick her little legs so fast and pant like a puppy dog or squeal loud when she get excited and poke out her bottom lip when she starts fussing, and will sleep for about 5 to 5 1/2 hours at night with rice cereal added to her bottle and about 4ish hours without it.

Lakelyn Beth, you are mommy and daddy's absolute pride and joy. We love you to the moon and back and way beyond that. You have brought a joy to our hearts, lives, and marriage that we could have never imagined. You will never know just how much you mean to us. We are loving watching you grow and become your own little person. Ok, well I only cry a little at every week and month that pass by, but that is only because I know how fast life goes and I want to cherish every moment with you! We love you baby girl!
I can't believe how big she has gotten. Excuse me while I go wipe these tears!
XOXO
