Viva la Vita

Vita had a busy week, with some sunshine, her two month check up, lots of talking and playing, and even a massage class. Click these links for video of Vita talking to her dad or talking to her mom. Here's a picture of Vita taken first thing in the morning. As usual, she's in a very good mood. Good morning, Vita! The weather has been dismal for most of Vita's life, with lots of rain and dark clouds. However, the sun came out this week. Vita had been very active, playing on her activity mat. When the sunshine came in through the window, Vita found a spot where her eyes were shaded, and her body was nice and warm. This photo documents Vita's very first nap in the warmth of the sunshine. Here's a close up. When dad gets home from work, Vita and dad are very happy to see each other. More dad and Vita. On Tuesday, Vita had her two month check up. According to the doc, Vita is very healthy and "thriving". She is 12 pounds and 9 ounces, and two feet tall. That puts Vita in the 95th percentile for weight and height! Vita slept through most of the exam, but she woke up when it was time for her immunizations! It was really hard to watch as Vita got three shots, even though I knew it was good for her. Look at this beautiful handmade cardigan, cap, and doll! Here's Vita hanging out in the sling... another of our very cool hands free baby carriers. Vita napping in dad's lap. Finally, on Sunday we took Vita to an infant massage and reflexology class. Massage and reflexology can help a baby sleep better, and reduce things like gas and other tummy problems. Also, it feels good and Vita loves it!
