In mid January at her 2mo check up she weighed  9lb 3oz and was 21 1/4" long. She didn't like her shots and they were hard for mommy to watch, but she's healthy and following all the developmental stages. She primarily cries when she's supposed to and has only a short colic spell at night. Kate smiles and laughs, and recognizes those closest to her (mommy/daddy, grandparents, aunts/uncles, and cousins). She's already "daddy's girl" because he can make her laugh and smile the most. She likes to look at lights, wall decor, mobiles, and spinning fans. She enjoys her play mat, swing, bath time, and having conversations especially with her Pa-pou. She likes sleeping with her fists closed facing each other at her chest or in her touchdown/field goal pose. She often sucks her pointer finger or has been known to gag herself while trying to suck or eat her fist. She's good at putting her fist in her mouth! She likes to help hold up her bottle while feeding. We can now definitely see her personality. She goes weekly with mommy to bible study, monthly to M.O.P.S., and also has frequent shopping or lunch dates with friends or family. Everyone comments on how good and beautiful of a baby she is.

Here's Kate at her 2mo check up
