Mary Cate, two months

Okay, she actually turned two months old three weeks ago. Also, this picture was taken a several days before that, but...ballpark.

Here she is, enjoying the incredible fall weather we had this year in late October. (Sidenote - Grandma Robynne knitted this blanket for a cousin years ago, and then John gave it to us when Eddie was born. Precious!)

Mary Cate is getting downright chubby, weighing in at 11.5 lbs. at her 2-month check-up. She's smiley and alert in the morning, but gets grumpier as the day goes on. It's kind of her thing. She's happiest when she's being held upright so she can check out what's going on. She loves when we sing to her, and at her best times she sings along or talks to us. She's showing interest in her toys and books, but still mostly likes staring at lights in classes 2-month-old style.

Mary Cate's only flaws are waking up every two hours all night and only turning her head to the right. She's clearly following in her big siblings' footsteps, though, so we have every hope that she'll be sleeping through the night in no time (after her second birthday) and will have full neck rotation functioning soon.
