My 2 month old Lizzy

It seems that I blog a lot about Lizzy, but she is going through so many milestones in her life and she is growing so fast.
I took Lizzy to her 2 month check up; we woke her up from her comfortable sleep so she could get her shots. She was not that happy about the shots and all day long she reminded me of that.
These are her 2 month stats:
Weight: 11.11 pounds - 5.3 kg (74 percentile)
Height: 23 inches (76 percentile)
head C 15.25 (51 percentile)
Lizzy has grown a lot lately and although she was my smallest baby when she was born, now she is the chubbiest; we love every inch of her. I wonder if it is because I am breastfeeding, but I don't necessarily think so. They say that breastfed babies have a better immune system, but Adam gets a lot sicker than Aren and I never breastfed Aren.
On her developmental milestones she did perfect:
Smiles
Comforts self (brings hands to mouth)
Coos
Has different types of cries to show hunger
Holds head up when held
Pushes head up while on tummy
Looks at you
Moves both arms and legs together
Fusses if bored
We enjoy spending time with Lizzy and she likes our company too. She has wormed up to Adam; I think she used to be scared of him because he tends to be a little tougher, but he is still gentle. I love how Adam kisses Lizzy every time he gets the chance. He also shares his blanket to which he is very attached. None of my kids were jealous for not getting enough attention because of the new baby; Adam mastered his potty training skills because he realized that he wasn't a baby anymore; he still struggles with #2, but he refuses to wear pull-ups and sometimes he doesn't like to wear underwear either. Lizzy changed all our lives and we are so grateful for her.
