Sarah is 2 months old today! It was very cold today… a great day for a warm fleece snowman dress. Isn’t she cute? She’s been giving us lots of great smiles lately, but not usually when I have the camera out. Maybe I’ll capture some of them soon.

She is starting to get a lot more fun. She still mostly eats and sleeps and just lies there, but she is getting more responsive to us. She likes to lie on her back and kick her legs, and she’ll look us in the eyes and smile when we talk to her and play with her. She also reaches for things and grasps them whenever her hand happens to land in the right spot.

So how’s she sleeping? That’s a question people love to ask about newborns. She seems to be the opposite of Anna. Anna was a good daytime napper, but she remained a horrible nighttime sleeper until about 6 months of age. (Fortunately, she’s been great since then.) Sarah, on the other hand, does not nap well during the day, but at least she sleeps well at night! She’ll usually go to bed and sleep until her middle-of-the-night feeding (which is around 4:00 these days), then go back to sleep until morning, usually not requiring any intervention from us in between. So if I had to take my pick, I’d much prefer her to sleep well at night!
