Eliana a la Dos Meses

And here's Miss Eliana showing how high she can lift her head up!  (One picture of a cute face, and one pic of a really silly face, she's a funny one this one.)  In the interests of fairness I must say that I put her down on her hands so she had some help at first, but she held herself like this for quite a while, looking at the cool patterns on her crib decor as well as at the funny machine with the blinking light (the camera).  We had our 2 month check up on Thursday (about a week early, but who's counting?) and discovered that Eliana is an Amazon!  She's 12 lbs 14 oz and 24 inches long, which puts her in the 95 percentile for both height and weight.  The fact that she's in the 95th for both means she's proportional so she just looks like a cute pudgy-wudgy instead of Joaquin's super chunk.  (For comparison, he was always in the 95-99th percentile for weight and anywhere from the 50th to 75th for height.)  Still she's a big girl, being the average size of 3 1/2 month baby according to my doctor.  So she's making great strides in the neck-muscle and growing department.  Now if we could just see that smile more often.  Apparently we as a family aren't funny enough.  Although the 'spinner' Joaquin made with his magnetic toys was intriguing enough to make her smile when he showed it to her.  Onwards and upwards to more milestones.
