from judy's point of view

Today marks Vivi's 2 month milestone - she is a thriving healthy baby girl. She had her well checkup and she's grown so much! She gained 3.11 lbs and grew an inch.

Weight: 11lbs 12oz
Height: 23in
Head Circumference: 39cm

She melts my heart. She holds focus and interest when I talk to her - something about her big brown eyes gets me. She's beginning to smile and LOVING IT when she wants to have a conversation with me! She's excellent at doing her "ahhh-ooohhhs". She's interested with things around her especially during our walks to the park or the market. No more sleeping the entire trip or staying in a position for long periods. She likes to sit upright or on her tummy. She's totally a chick magnet (babies and doggies seem to be both good ways to get noticed). I've gotten so many compliments from women. Anywhere I go, I get asked with how old, girl/boy, what a cute baby, her hands/feet are so tiny etc!

She had her vaccinations done and it was the most terrifying day for a new parent. I held her in my arms as she cried her heart out receiving 3 shots in her legs. What a trooper, she passed out before we stepped out of the clinic. As the doctor expected, Vivi ran a fever (up to 98F), extremely fussy, and cried if not held. I've never seen her so upset. She would fall asleep, startle herself and then freak out! Sigh.. :( I think it hurts me more than it hurts her. This went on well into the night. Zak and I took turns holding and soothing her to the extent that it felt like it was not enough. We decided to give her some baby tylenol hoping it will make her feel better. Finally, she falls asleep in Zak's arms, peacefully. A few hours later she looked better - her fever went down, she regained her appetite and was interested in a convo with mommy and daddy. Thank goodness!

1st video shows her lifting her head and rolling over. 2nd video is the beginning of her coos. And the photo is stating that she loves milk!
