Happy 2 Months Kaylana!

Kaylana is 2 months old as of yesterday! At her appointment today we found out she is 22 inches long (26th percentile...our lil shorty hehe) and 10 lbs 5 oz(37th percentile). We are so happy she is doing well and continuing to grow healthy and strong. She has now outgrown newborn clothes (although there are some outfits I still manage to fit on her because she has so many cute clothes she hasn't even worn!) and is now wearing 0-3 months clothes. She is such a cutie and so joyful as she learns and develops every day. She loves to talk to us with her coos and other adorable noises. It was so sad to see and hear her cry as she got her shots =( but shortly after she was fine. Tough baby girl! Thanks to my brother Ro for coming as Rigo was busy hard at work! Kaylana loved being held and comforted by her Uncle Rojohn.
Rigo turned 26 last Saturday and we celebrated with some awesome BBQ at his parents house and then with my brothers for ice cream later that night. It is such a blessing to have family close by that we can share special days and moments with. I am grateful that Kaylana will have her grandparents, uncles, and aunties as great examples close by to visit anytime. I find myself missing my sister, Jubie, all the time and calling her practically every day! Although she lives closer than ever since she got married it's still not the same...I wish I could just go to her house and hang out and we could take care of our kiddies together =). Thank goodness for technology I can send her pictures of growing Kaylana and call or e-mail anytime I want.
Rigo is such a great husband and father! He is so supportive and every day he comes home and gives me a break by helping to take care of her. I just feed her and he often does the rest...the burping, changing, playing, consoling, etc. I love to see him bond with our daughter and exchange smiles all the time...she loves her Daddy!
Speaking of smiles, Kaylana laughed for the first time last Friday. My visiting teachers came over and while I was holding her and we were talking she laughed out of nowhere! It was so adorable and she had the most gorgeous huge smile on her face. She did it again later as we were playing and I have loved hearing and seeing her laugh since. It is still so enjoyable when she smiles and laughs in her sleep, just too cute. I also started putting headbands on her and I love it! You can tell she's a girl =) hehehe. Especially during the first month everyone thought she was a boy, even when I put her in pink they would question! Figures, she looks like her Daddy as everyone says. Apparently, she is beginning to look more like me now...lol. I don't know and it doesn't matter to me, all I know is she is beautiful and we love her so so so much!
