It's hard to believe that Elena is already two months old! She and Juan celebrated birthdays together this Sunday with some of Juan's family. She has definitely mastered the smiling thing and is working on new tricks daily.
Today she had her two month check up with her pediatrician. Elena was all smiles as she showed off for Dr. Fitch.
When the doctor put her on her tummy, she held her head up high (without arm support) and impressed everyone. We then moved her hands to her front to help hold herself up, and she proceeded to be a big show off in front of Dr. Fitch. For the very first time ever, Elena ROLLED OVER from front to back. The doctor (as well as mom and dad) were amazed. As for her stats... she weighed in at 11 pounds, 11.5 ounces (75th Percentile). She's still a tall little girl, 23.5 inches long and in the 90th percentile. Her brain has been growing too. her head has increased from the 25% percentile to the 50th percentile.
She also had to get two shots today. She was a trooper. Although she was clearly not feeling well today, she was such a good girl. She was content with some cuddles and infant Tylenol.
Mom and dad are also hoping for a third night of her sleeping through the night. Fingers crossed!
On Saturday, Elena was joined by 50 members of her family as she was baptized at Holy Cross Church in Federal Hill. Her Aunt Becca and Uncle Jose were her godparents. Little Elena wore her mom's christening gown and her grandmother's christening shoes.

To reward mom and dad for all their hard work over the past 7 weeks, little Elena decided to treat mom and dad to her first real smiles. Sure she's smiled while passing gas, but these were Mom and Dad I'm so happy to see you smiles. She even let me take pictures of the smiles. I posted them on Picasa for all to see!
