Play Group

Phoebe went to her first play group today. It was great. There were six other babies there and all were in a similar age group between two months and five months. Phoebe was very alert and happy the whole time. She stayed awake for around six hours consecutively today--which is her longest period of being awake since she was born. She was exhausted this evening. She went to sleep at around 5:30 and is still not awake at 8:00. I think I will get her up to feed her soon just to be sure that she sleeps well through the night. I am including pictures of her new friends. (And her new super-cute outfit--she got lots of clothes from Sydney :))
Yesterday was her two month birthday. The doctor was very pleased with her development. She is now 9lbs. 8 oz. (double her birth weight!) and 21.5 inches long--a five inch growth in length. She is the size of a normal baby now. She also got several of her immunizations yesterday, which she didn't like, but she did well with overall. She got three shots--she screamed through them and I cried, but we made it. Then she was crabby and tired for a good six hours afterwards. She slept in my arms most of the afternoon because any time I attempted to set her down she would cry. As long as I was holding her, she was ok and then later in the evening she felt better and we went for a walk to the library. And obviously she felt much better today since she was able to stay awake and enjoy herself for so long. So things are going well for her and for us.
