Head Control
Adelaide impressed us all yesterday at her two-month appointment (or, in the early childhood vernacular, eight weeks, four days, and 16 hours old). Namely, when her physician inquired as to whether or not Adelaide liked her “tummy time,” I answered, “Well, like is perhaps not the best word, but …” But despite all of her protesting, when we positioned Adelaide on her stomach, she swept everyone away as she promptly raised her head and neck, performed an upper-body push-up with her arms and began to scoot herself away from our probing hands. Clever girl!

For those interested, here are her two-month statistics:
She weighed in at 11 pounds, 5 ounces (75th percentile).
She measured 23 inches long (75th percentile).
And that noggin just keeps on growing, measuring a whopping 16 inches (90th percentile)!

I believe a big-headed baby is a sign that she will develop into one smart lady!!!
