callista at two months.

Callista turned two months old on Saturday, and is doing such a great job!  She's starting to stretch her feedings at night, and becoming pretty predictable throughout the day.

During the day, she eats about every two hours - she wakes up, eats, is awake for about an hour, and then sleeps for about an hour before starting the cycle all over again.  She's starting to want to go to bed earlier in the evenings, so I try to push her to stay awake until around 10.  After her last evening feeding, she usually sleeps 6-7 hours before wanting to eat again!  I'm definitely not complaining.

She's smiling, cooing, and figuring out her arms and legs.  This week, she's figured out how to get her hands into her mouth.  Her eyes track together and focus on things now, and she smiles when she sees me or Todd.  Her huge eyes are the first thing anyone comments on when they see her, and Todd likes to joke that she's approximately 40% eyes.

She is seriously so very sweet, and I feel like we're out of those really difficult newborn days.  It's amazing how quickly it always seems to have gone once you're looking back on it (though it feels like it takes forrrrr.evvvvvvvv.errrrrrr while you're in it).  There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not consciously grateful for her, and amazed at how it never gets old.  I find her just a precious and amazing and new as I found Atticus, and all of them, because she's herself.
