Our hearts have grown...

Leilah is 2 months old now and everyday is better than the last with her in our lives. She is such a beautiful little thing on the inside and out, and it radiates throughout our home and hearts. At two months she weighs in at a whopping 11.3 pounds (25-50 percentile) and is 21.5 inches long (5-10 percentile)... no worries ... what she lacks in size is made up for by her personality. Her smile has been getting a lot of practice over the past month and is truly my morning sunshine and fills my nighttime dreams. She sleeps for 6 hour stretches at night and is in no way ready to wake up when we hear Brody crack the door and say, "morning." She is a conversationalist now with her sweet little coos (when she can get a word in). Needless to say, we have quite the talkative household now. Brody still thinks that Leilah is the best thing that ever happened to him and truly believes that every facial expression, sound or movement she makes is for his benefit alone. He loves to lie IN her play gym with her and just giggle every time that she bats at the toys. These are the moments that overwhelm my heart in a way that I didn't know was possible. These are truly the days...
