We Have a Little Chunk on Our Hands!

Addelyn had her 2 month doctor appointment yesterday. She weighs a whopping 14 lbs and 1 oz! And she is 25 inches long. These combined put her in the 95th %ile. She has so many fat rolls and she's just too cute!
Addy is getting so much more interactive. She smiles lots and talks back to us. It's pretty darn cute! One of my favorite things is when I get up in the night or morning to feed her I turn on the hall light and she instantly stops crying. When I go to pick her up from her crib she gives me a big smile. It just melts my heart. I guess there are some positive things about getting up at 5:30 to feed her.
On Saturday night Addy slept from 11pm to 9:30am! Amazing! I was actually awake before she was, which never happens! I need to find out what I did that made her sleep that long and keep doing it!
Addy definitely has a favorite toy! She will spend hours on this playmat that I got off craigslist for $10! New these things are like $65, so I was so happy when I found it. I didn't think that she would love it as much as she does, but she really loves it. I was surprised when she would swat at the little toys then smile and talk... I thought she might be too young still, but she's getting so big! Addelyn is also starting to love looking in the mirror at herself. Another thing that she is learning to like is her bumbo (it's a soft chair that helps them sit up). I can put her in it on the counter when I do the dishes and get ready in the morning and she just watches me. She also loves her swing more and more. I am glad that she will entertain herself for awhile so I can get some things done during the day.
She is such a good baby and I love her to pieces!

Tara I absolutely LOVE Bumbos. Last semester I watched a little girl full time who was about 2 months-ish when I started. We used the Bumbo all the time! She loved being able to sit up and see what was going on around her. It is at the top of my list for baby things to get.
