Little Mudgekins: Jordan: 2 Months Old

We cannot believe it has already been two months since our sweet little girl was born.We have had quite an eventful second month with all sorts of growing and new experiences! She has started to be so alert when she is awake and we can really see her brain thinking and trying to figure out this big world around her. She has started to talk to us with her cooing, ahhs and various grunting noises.

We are pretty excited that we made it 2 whole months as parents!

So was Jordan!

Jordan has already experienced so many things her in short 2 months of life:

She helped her mom and dad celebrate their 2 year wedding anniversary!

Her first smile! The girl has always smirked in her sleep, but at about 6-7 weeks we started to see her little face light up and smile. She has been smiling more and more, only a few of them are able to be caught on camera. She really is such a happy girl!

She has already met all of her grandparents, and we still have some family members we are waiting to meet, but this month she got to meet 2 of her great-grandmothers! She also spent some good quality time with her cousin Barrett.

Jordan has met so many of her new friends. She has spent some quality time with all of our WoodsEdge Church friends. We have also had lunch with several of mommy's friends from work, visited daddy's work friends who will help take care of her at the basketball games, had visits and dinners with great friends from college and high school. We really feel so lucky and blessed by the community that we have surrounding us to help us raise our sweet girl.
Jordan had her first set of shots at 8 weeks and did so great! She cried only when they gave her the shot and then slept the rest of the afternoon. She woke up feeling as good as new! The doctor told us everything was good and our little girl was healthy and seemed to be eating well as she is in the 96% for weight for 2 month old girls. The girl eats well, what can we say. She also had a great time playing with her daddy in the waiting room before she knew the big bad shots were in her future.

She experienced 3 fantasy football drafts. Her daddy and mommy both had their own drafts that Jordan was nice enough to sleep through so we could focus on how to beat our friends and colleagues. I know it may sound like bad parenting to force nap time around a draft, but she'll understand soon enough.

Jordan also had her first taste of green sauce. We went out to a Mexican food restaurant and poor girl had green sauce splattered on her face as a tray from the waiter when flying only a few feet away. We're not too concerned, I'm sure we will eat enough Mexican food for 'guacamole' to be her first word.

Things we don't want to forget:

- The feeling you get when she smiles at you

- Her hands are still always in her face, now they are just in her mouth

- She sleeps EXACTLY 30 minutes with her arms sprawled out in her crib when not swaddled during nap time
