NAOMI II

2-month Milestones
Inspired by my previous entry about being a delinquent dad, I did peek at the BabyCenter milestones today and Naomi Janelle seems to be trekking along quite nicely. She's been lifting her head since pretty early on, and now is just beginning to light up our world with voluntary smiles and plenty of cooing and conversation. Venesa and I had a debate this afternoon as to if Naomi was supposed to be rolling over yet. Unfortunately, her tummy time has been stifled by the potential of being trampled by two irreverent siblings and a big white dog; in addition to what mommy suspects to be either reflux and / or stomach discomfort. But funny enough, about an hour after that conversation, bam, Naomi rolled over. Now granted, this particular rollover was induced by an extended pre-nap top-of-the-lungs limbs-flailing cry session. And so what daddy calls a milestone, I'm sure mommy calls a fluke. But I'm thinking, hey, why can't it be both? In any event, it will probably be a while before she does it again... but the timing was humorous, nonetheless.

As for other notables, the bathroom scale has her at 10 lbs even. In the blink of an eye, her sleep patterns have gone from predictable to all over the map; and her bowel movements are reminiscent of what we went through with Jasmine Olivia during her first few months of life. We're both hoping that it's just a transition period and not the signs of insanity to come. But like always, only time will tell.
