This post is all about the world's best baby girl-Rae. Well I have to start off saying that I'm sorry I forgot to take her 2nd month duck photo. I'd like to say that it was because she turned 2 months during our "spa retreat" week while Otto and Trevor were at the cabin and I was just so blissed out that I forgot but more than likely she is a victim of being a second child. It really is true...there are always less photos of the second child. These duck photo shoots were such milestones with Otto and with Rae I completely forgot one. I am going to turn this into a positive and just say that second babies are stronger for it! But she is such a champ and I will focus on that. That child rarely complains. She fusses on occasion when she is tired and wants to go to sleep. If that is the case I just snuggle her close and give her a pacifier and she falls asleep then I lay her on the bed and she's out. It took her a bit of time to learn to nap on her own not in my arms but she is doing it much better these days. And when she wakes up she is full of coos and smiles. It is adorable. During our week together she would often wake me up by squealing at the fan. I don't think I've ever know her to wake up grumpy. Sometimes she gets upset in the car seat but that is pretty rare. Generally she is happy and giggly and quick to dole out the smiles. She loves to stand on her feet like Otto did and unlike Otto she is a pro at tummy time and really doesn't seem to mind it much. She had her first little laughing spell. It was amazing. Last month on July 21 Uncle John had friends over one of whom was particularly animated and Rae just thought she was hilarious. I was standing up holding Rae facing outward and she just started laughing at John's friend when she spoke and gestured her hands. It was so cute and the whole table of people were all transfixed by her laughter. Luckily we caught the tail end on video. AND Rae rolled over! On August 21 I put her down under the little jungle gym on her back and left the room and when I cam back a few moments later she was on her tummy!!!!! A wonderful achievement and sadly proof that again she is a second child-no one even witnessed this milestone. But that baby was all smiles when I picked her up and told her how proud I was of her. She really is my best baby girl. We all love and are so charmed by our Baby Rae.
