2 months old!

The time sure is flying with this sweet angel. I can't believe she is already 2 months old. These last several weeks have just been a blur of learning how to take care of two children--changing diapers, reading books, trying (and failing) to get MJ to sleep in the pack n play. My days are full of those repetitive mommy duties that aren't all that interesting :) Mary Jo has been smiling since she turned 1 month old and she is very responsive and smiley. She has started cooing and babbling a little bit. Jordan has even gotten a couple of little laughs out of her. She is a peanut compared to Jacob at this age. She is still in 0-3 month clothes but she is starting to get rolls on her arms and legs. Her cheeks are also getting chubby. She doesn't like to lay on her tummy but we're working on it. She usually sleeps in a bouncy seat or in my arms.

Jacob loves her most of the time. He will tell anyone she is his sissy and he is always trying to get in a hug or a kiss. We are still working on being gentle. She doesn't take a pacifier which has been a great disappointment for Jacob. A couple of his friends have baby siblings and he always takes it upon himself to give the baby the pacifier, remove it from their mouth and put it back in. He has tried many times to get Mary Jo to use a pacifier but she just isn't interested. Jacob never took one either so I can't say I am surprised. He has asked me to put Mary Jo back in my tummy or to take her back to the hospital a few times. But overall, he has not been too jealous and he is really a sweet big brother.
