Two Months Old

If she's two months can we say two months or do we have to stick to weeks for the foreseeable future?

Speaking of the future, as a new parent, it's not that you don't want to look to the future: The prospect of better sleep ahead; Less crying and fussing, or at least crying that is more easily identifiable; A chance to hear words and laughter, to see crawling, walking, and rolling over.

For better or worse, babies keep us in the present. Since most parents of older children have told us to 'snuggle 'em while you can' and enjoy the moments both difficult and sweet, I figure the present is where we want to be. And not just with babies. The same goes for friends, husbands and wives, those we meet and help at work. I have always been particularly annoyed at parents who push a stroller with a cell phone or those who can't be bothered to talk to their children on the way to the grocery store. It's disrespectful and wasted opportunity.

Today was a great day for Dad. She really seems to be figuring out that Mommy's stooge isn't going anywhere but to work. He also plays a little sillier than Mommy does. She seemed to really enjoy when I pretended to be munching on her fists this afternoon and tonight, and she stared at me intently during diaper changes. I enjoy and it now AND I enjoying knowing that our play will become even more fun in the days to come.
