I wanted to post this picture to give everyone a frame of reference to how big Beatrix is now; and, it is also a great demonstration of how much muscle control she has gained.
She has sat up alone for over a minute this week, rolled over to check something out on the floor and rolled back over to go about her business. We are amazed by her progress everyday.

New favorite toys:
Octopus, hands, and mouth.

2 Months

Beatrix is 2 months and doing a lot of fun things. She is a little chatterbox, cooing and grunting all day.
She is always doing something new and exciting. Today she deliberately reached out to touch her toy. She is holding her little head up most of the day (thanks to her wrap), and kicking her strong legs. She has favorite toys and is as alert as a little bright eyed baby can be.
We had a pretty great Easter with friends and Beatrix got some goodies from the grandparents and a dress from daddy.
As for me, I am definitely on the up and up. I am feeling pretty good, physically. I got a new pair of running shoes and ready to hit the Town Lake path. I am really starting to like my new job as momma. I have started taking care of a little boy, Oake, 13 months. He is adorable and loves "baby". He and his lovely family have moved to Austin from North Carolina. He is a smart little boy and knows his signs, a few that come to mind are baby, sleeping, careful, drink, bird and dog. He is going to be a great little assistant once Beatrix starts learning her signs.
