After all, she did come into the world with her eyes wide open


Today was Olympia's two months old exam. We strapped her into the Bjorn and hopped on the crowded bus just in time for morning rush hour. Olympia spent the ride staring down fellow passengers from the hood of her bear suit.

According to the doc, this stone cold stare and her early penchant for babble is pretty advanced for her age. What a social baby! She is also 12.5 pounds and 24 inches. We're told this is tall for her age. Considering our size, this will probably be the only time Mark and I will hear this so we'll enjoy it...Olympia is a giant!

Other highlights:
*Oly can now face outward in the Bjorn which means more sights to see for her and less rooting and attempted suckling for Mark
*Oly had her shots. booo....But her cry wasn't as frantic as it was a month ago and petered out at a much quicker rate! When Mark and I realized this meant Olympia now trusted us it had a funny way or making all the challenges of the past couple months fade.

Well, next appt is at four months! It's like training wheels...first the doctor sees you every week, and once new parents start to realize that they really can just figure it out it stretches to one month and now TWO months.
