10 weeks old!!

Can you believe it?? Bella is 10 weeks old. Is it too early to be sad that she's growing up so fast?
She had her 2 month check up today and it went well!
**She weighs TEN pounds even**
**She is 22.5" long**
**Her head is 15" around**
This puts her in the 50th percentile for height & 27the percentile for weight but still less than 3rd percentile for height to weight ratio.
She's right on track for her development ...
She smiles, coos and can lift her head & turn it side to side when laying on her belly.
She got her shots and was NOT happy about that! She cried hysterically immediately, but as soon as I was able to hold her, she calmed down and was back to smiling by the time I was checking out. She was a litle sore/unhappy today so I gave her Tylenol & we snuggled most of the afternoon.
The doctor said she should laugh out loud at around 4 months and should be able to lift her head while on her belly around 4 months. Teeth could start to arrive at 6 months!! :)
We have her Swallow Study on Friday and hopefully we'll get a few more answers about her reflux. She's been doing much better and took 3.5 ounces at all but 2 feedings today! We still have a few things to overcome, mostly all related to her reflux, but she's made huge improvements!
Here are a few random photos from this weekend. We had pictures taken with Alana from 1000 Words Photography (which I can't WAIT to see!). Bella went to a restaurant for the first time for lunch after the photos. Here's grandma and grandpa with baby Bella.
Proud mommy & daddy!

Bella in all pink going to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Isn't the bow adorable? We can thank Grams for that!
