2nd Month in the Books

Well, it's been two months (and a few days) since we had our little Cece Queen, and things keep getting better and better. Since we've started to develop a pretty good routine, everything seems to be more organized.

Bath time is still my favorite time because she seems to love it so much. She's all smiles and likes to kick her feet in the water. The baby conversations have become more in depth for infant talk. She coos and smiles all the time and gets a real kick out of it when we try to mirror exactly the sound that she makes. Sometimes, she starts kicking her legs wildly when she figures out that we're doing the same thing she's doing.

In the books I've been reading (The Joy of Fatherhood and So You're Gonna Be a Dad), she's ahead of a few milestones that they say happen in the third month. During the 3rd month, she's supposed to be able to put pressure on her legs if you hold her up, and she's been doing that for almost a month already. This is a good thing, especially because she's a future cross country state champion. The sooner we can get this standing thing down, the sooner we can get out on the track for repeat intervals and some long runs around Allen, Texas. (Just kidding, Cece Girl, you are more than welcome to try out other interests as well as being a superstar runner :) She's now weighing in at 10 lbs, 12 ozs and is 22.5 inches in length. They say she is in the 50th percentile for both, which we think is just perfect!

I still think brown with hints of pinks and purples looks best on her, although she looks great in anything and rather enjoy getting her dressed up for Kodak moments. She may be the most photographically documented child in history.

All in all, I'm still really pumped up about being a father. We're having more and more fun with her, and I look forward to getting out and doing more things as a family. So, stay tuned as I make efforts to continually update the Chronicles of Cecelia Raine!
