I don't want to always compare Elizabeth with Gabriel, but I love to see the parallels between the two kids as they grow. This is why I am so glad I wrote everything in my blog =). At 2 months Gabriel had:
*Smiled and laughed (not a full out belly laugh yet though)
*Improved his motor skills and has learned to suck on his hand (and find his hands obviously)
*See at greater distances
*Roll over
*Lift himself completely up during "tummy time"
Miss Elizabeth has:
*Smiled and laughed (yep, not a belly laugh)
*Can find her fist, but prefers not to suck on it. She wants only the boob. No paci for her either!
*See at distances. She LOVES watching her brother walk around and smiles at him often!
*Can't roll over. She hates tummy time and won't even try.
*Not as strong as big bro. Again, doesn't enjoy tummy time and just bobs her head and cries!
One thing I didn't list on Gabriel's 2 month blog post was cooing. Elizabeth coos at us and smiles SO big! She absolutely loves interacting with us, talking to us, and keeping our attention. I definitely think she will be talking before Gabriel, or at least talking more! Gabriel isn't a big talker. He can say a lot of words, but he likes to get to his point with as few words as possible (boy=man). A good example is when he wants a drink. He will start out with "juice," that turns into "JUICE, which finally ends in him pushing/pulling me while saying, "JUICE!!!!!!" haha! We are working on this. Trying to add in a please and ignoring him without the please. I imagine when Elizabeth is old enough to ask the question may sound more like, "mom, I would really like juice. I enjoy juice. Can you please get it for me!" -wink wink-.
Elizabeth has yet to go to the doctor (insurance drama), but we will know how much she weighs on the 28th of November. One day after daddy's 30th birthday. I am definitely not worried about her weight, she has rolls all over! She is definitely a cutie and I feel so blessed to be her and Gabriel's momma!
