Malia is 2 Months Old

Dear Malia,

Today you turn 2 months old.  As you continue to grow, our love for you grows too.  You are now observing the world so much more.  You love to look around and take in everything until sleep overcomes you.  Other than Mommy's arms, your favorite place is your bouncy chair.  We put the arch on for the first time and you fell in love with the motion and sounds.

The highlight of my month happened at 3AM on September 19.  Daddy handed you to me and as soon as you saw my face you smiled for the first time and started cooing.  It was the best 3AM ever.  Now you smile and coo all of the time, except of course when I have the camera.  You continue to be a calm, happy baby.  The only place you don't enjoy is your carseat, but once we get wherever we are going you are back to your happy self. 

I'm looking forward to the upcoming month as you continue to learn and grow and maybe even get one of your big, beautiful smiles on camera.
