2 months old

So let me try to get a post in before I have to get the baby ready for bed and catch a new show I got into while on maternity leave, Fringe. Tonight is the season finale.

Clara turned two months on May 1. We took a bunch of photos of her in a row trying to catch her very cute and beautiful smile. My goodness when she smiles, her whole body gets into it and it melts my heart. She can melt anyone's heart :) . The first photo below she is smiling pretty. The second one it looks like she is shouting to the mountain tops that it is her two month birthday.




Here she is with her daddy catching up on the sports scores during the evening news. One sport she really enjoys is hockey. She really likes the Carolina Hurricanes.
Oh, I took her to UNC's campus so she could watch her Grandpa M. run a road race and asked if she wanted to be a Tar Heel and she just smiled big, guess we know which basketball team she will cheer for later.
Soon she will watch her mommy run a marathon. I plan to run two this fall. I started running again after a little over a six month break from it (I hadn't run since Sept 29. The appendectomy and then being in my third trimester, running took a back seat). I started after my birthday, which was April 25. We won't say what year I turned. Let's just say, it was my 14th anniversary to my 21st birthday. Today I ran 36 minutes which for someone who just had a baby and has not run for quite awhile, that is pretty good. Yesterday, I ran 3 miles and felt great. I think I am losing these last few pounds on me and hope to be back to my old running self soon.
Anyway, let me see if I can remember what happened in her two months of life. I think the blogs below sum it up pretty good. She did roll over again when my family was in town. Her Aunt Sarah and Uncle Dave got to see her do it. Her daddy has yet to catch it but at least this past time, I got the video camera out and caught some of it happening.
And a little bit more wildlife, Clara saw her first moth. Photos below. It was a real pretty moth. I was planting flowers in our front yard and it was sitting there on our front porch.
I'll have to get some photos of our flowers posted. We bought some at Home Depot and some at Walmart. Needless to say, Clara has now been to the infamous Walmart.
Oh, and one last thing to mention, she got her first round of shots on the 6th. She did not enjoy that doctor's visit. But she did really good. She took a nap afterwards and when she woke up she seemed a lot better and back to her old self. We did give her some infant tylenol before bed and she slept real well. The next day, she was fine and it was like nothing happened.
I'll post more later. A lot has happened since her two month birthday...
