Guess who's 2 months old!!!

I can't believe that my little angel is already 2 months old! It seems like just last week that she was born! Here are a few of Ivory's stats at two months old:
*She weighs 10 pounds 1 ounce (26th %)
*She is 21 inches long (52nd %)
*She sleeps about 6-8 hours each night
*She still sleeps a lot during the day (she is only awake about an hour at a time during the day)
*She smiles ALL the time. It is really hard to catch it on camera because she gets occupied by the camera and won't smile once her eye catches it.
*She is a MAJOR daddy's girl. She sleeps in his arms often.
*She hardly ever fusses. She is really is a happy baby.
*She eats about 4 ounces every 2 hours during the day, and many times thinks she needs more (she's gonna chunk fast!!! )
I-D-A-H-O IDAHO! IDAHO! GO! GO! GO!!
(This one cracks me up. She looks like an elf)

Christmas outfit given to her by Russ & Jenni Bird (Rayce's cousin)
Shylee loves to help, and to just be in Ivory's face. She is always hugging and kissing on her baby sister.
Rayce was holding her in her wrap. Its not supposed to be on her head, but somehow she worked her way like this.
Zonked out on the floor.
Icelynn also is a very good helper. She loves to feed and burp Ivory.

Christmas Eve. Everyone in their Christmas jammies. Ivory was not impressed.

Christmas morning. Again, she was not impressed.

I love that her eyes are lightening up to this beautiful blue color. She is getting SO chucnky!
Happy girl.
Ivory really likes to sit up. So we got out the walker and propped her up. She really liked it.

Ivory has to be all snuggled in to sleep, so this is her all tucked in. Plus, she has found her fist, and sucks on it all the time. I try to give her her binky cause I am worried it will turn into thumb sucking, but she freaks out and spits it out and goes right back to sucking her fist.

These next ones are just a few of the pictures that I took at home today. She is growing so fast that I feel like I am playing dress up with her. I totally forgot that I had this shirt, and when I put it on this morning, it was really tight, so I dressed the other kids in their big sister and brother shirts and did a little photo shoot.
Before we decided to have Ivory, we really debated on if we wanted another child, or if three was the number for us. And now I can't imagine our life without her. It was the best choice we have ever made to expand our family. She is such a well tempered baby, and such a blessing to us. The kids love her to death, and so do her parents.
