Adriana Leigh is Two Months Old

Well...she actually turned two months old yesterday, but it wasn't a good picture day.  She had shots, and she just wasn't herself.  I decided to wait until today to get a picture so she would look like her regular, happy self.

At two months old, Adriana can do all of the following:

• has voluntary (as opposed to reflexive) actions
• self soothes by sucking on fingers and tongue (she's also starting to like fabrics if they're available)
• quiets when held or when she hears voices or sees faces
• can hold head up at a 45-degree angle for a few seconds when lying on stomach
• smiles at people...especially Mommy and Daddy
• stays awake longer if interacting with someone
• tracks objects and lights
• gets excited to see people...especially Mommy and Daddy
• holds head fairly steady when in the sitting position, but it's still a little wobbly
• can discriminate among voices, people, and tastes (noticed the difference between milk and Tylenol)
• picks out Mommy's voice
• watches a person alertly and directly
• repeats sounds (she will repeat "ah," "oh," and "yeah")
• kicks and straightens legs when on back
• opens and shuts hands
• pushes down with legs when placed on a hard surface
• stiffens and tries to stand when held in lap facing someone

We are so proud of our girl!  We love you, Adriana Leigh Herman
