we celebrated ethan's 27th birthday on the 22nd. we began the day by discovering, to our delight, at her two month appointment that naomi has reached the grand old weight of 11lbs 5oz! for all those busy-bodies roaming the streets of minneapolis who keep telling me that naomi is "tiny", i'd like to say she is firmly in the 50th percentile for weight, height, growth etc. we can't believe she is already two months old! how time has flown. we really are getting used to being parents now, settling in. for certain, nothing is predictable but it helps to know she recognizes us and can react to us with smiles and laughs. she "talks" with us when we ask her questions. its a wonderful feeling! and she sleeps really well at night and can now be awake and alert for up to 2 hours, which she decided to show us last night when we planned to take ethan out for dessert after she had fallen asleep. instead, she embraced the excitement and kept her eyes firmly open. she sat in her car seat looking like a queen bee! we changed our plans and ethan picked out a yummy red velvet cake to commemorate his birthday. here are some pictures from the day.
