two months...three months...

carly had her 2 month check up on october 8. she was 9 lbs 12 oz and 23 inches long. that puts her at 25% for weight and 50% for height.

in her second month, carly learned to smile and kick her feet. 2 of her favorite things to do! she started to notice the toys hanging on her carseat and she would bat at them. she smiles at avery, she smiles when her diaper is changed and she smiles when she wakes up. she is a very happy baby.

at 3 months, carly is able to grab toys and hold them. she still likes to smile and kick her feet. she started laughing this weekend. it is just a little chuckle and she has to be really excited, but it is a laugh for sure! she is starting to put her hand in her mouth and look for her thumb. i wonder if she will figure that one out and be a thumb sucker? she also likes to look in the mirror and take baths with her big sister. one thing she does not like is tummy time! she just kicks and grunts when we try to put her on her stomach. we'll keep trying! i don't know for sure, but i think she is around 11 or 11.5 pounds now. she has the nickname "carlygirl" i don't know who started saying it in the house first, but we have all caught on and it is fun to sing!

we tried to get carlygirl to laugh...instead avery laughed.

halloween pics are coming soon :)
