The Elusive Smile

Lindsay is smiling a lot now and it is precious!  She will smile and grin away at us, then pull out her "serious face" as soon as we get our camera.  This leaves us trying sneaky ways to catch her before she notices the camera, paparazzi-style!  Here are some of our best shots... some look pretty silly, but we worked hard to get these!

By far the best one we've caught... and it happened to be her very first smile!
  
Almost got it....

She looks so silly in this one... it doesn't really even look much like her!  That's what happens when you put the camera really really close!!  We try not to do that to her anymore. :)






Blurry, I know... I tried to pull the camera out really fast!

The dark didn't really fool her.

My mom and sister got this great one!
That's all for now... maybe next time we'll just go for a video instead to prove she smiles a lot!

Lindsay - Lou- Who: 2 Months

Our baby is 2 months old!  At her doctor's appointment, she was 9 lbs, 14 oz and 22.25 inches long.

2 months old!
Here are some things she can do now:

- intensely studies faces and makes eye contact for long periods
- much more alert and awake during the day
- can track things (her mobile, the fan)
- looks around for familiar voices
- smiles :)
- "talks" to people (and herself)
- sleeps for 6 solid hours at night!
- is constantly "busy" moving her legs and arms when she is awake
- likes taking a bath much more than she used to... she loves to look at the baby in the mirror!
- has "old man hair" (bald on top, longer around the back of her head)
- has outgrown her newborn clothes and now wears size 0-3 months
- has outgrown newborn diapers
- still not a fan of tummy time, but she can hold her head up when she is sitting up on your shoulder
- still sleeps swaddled up in her blanket
- falls asleep whenever we get in the car
- loves to go for walks outside!
- favorite toys: her newborn lounger and her vibrating bouncy chair

Toby is still not quite sure what to think of her, but he always comes running when she starts crying!  We can't tell if he is protective or just curious....

These are some of our favorite 2 month pictures:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Mommy made me wear this silly hat for the picture.

All smiles...

My favorite place... cuddling with someone!

Dressed for an evening out...

Time to break out the summer clothes!
Happy 2 months Miss Lindsay!  We love you! :)

4 Generations of Anglins

Todd's grandparents are visiting from Oregon, so it was a great time to take a four generations picture!

Three Anglin Men and a Baby:
Mike (Todd's dad), Todd, Chuck (Todd's grandpa), and Lindsay

They don't get to visit Texas often, so it was great timing that they happened to visit right after Lindsay was born.  We loved getting to spend some time with them while there were here!

Our First Smile?

Todd was playing with his new camera lenses tonight, and he captured this photo... maybe it was Lindsay's first (non-gas-related) smile? :)
