Dear Munchkin:
We visited Dr. B again today (our wonderful pediatrician) for your two month checkup. Can you believe it? He said, and I quote: "Wow, Munchkin is very advanced," in reference to a couple of benchmarks you have reached a few months before expected.

I love watching you...

- hit the monkey on the "jungle gym"
- watch the ceiling fan with rapt attention
- shove your entire fist in your mouth
- have smiling conversations with me, many still while your paci is in your mouth
- truly enjoy taking a bath
- take breaks while eating to look around and smile at me
- better tolerate being dressed in "real boy" outfits
- ride your bicycle
- play by yourself on the jungle gym for loooong stretches of time
- suck on your fists with vehemence, trying desperately to find your fingers
- stick your tongue out at your Dad
- move your head with your eyes when you track objects
- hold yourself up during "tummy time," with your fists balled up under you
- roll from your tummy to your back (which so impressed Dr. B)
- recognize your Dad when he comes home from work
- decide how you're going to handle that puppy who loves to kiss you
