Two Months Already!

It's hard to believe Serena's 2 months old, though she's changed so much already. It's just the three of us now, and back to the real world (such as it is now). I went back to work full time, Joshua is home full-time and began his refereeing work, and our incredibly helpful parents have all retunred home.
Serena's wonderful - smiles now, responds to voices, loves to watch her mobile, and trying her hardest to get full control of that head.
And she's doing a pretty good job of training us as parents. We get up earlier - a whole hour earlier is necessary for me to get to work on time, with a few stops in the routine for cuddling before I have to leave. We only go to the $3 movie theater, and only at less-populated times, and know we probably won't see the whole thing. We take walks everyday and bounce long and often on the exercise ball. We can load the dryer with one hand and pat her back with the other. We tuck bibs and burp cloths into our pockets and set them down in every room, yet never have one when we need it. We tune our ears to slowing of the mobile music and respond accordingly. We smile bigger than we ever have before in hopes of an answering grin and are inordinately pleased when we receive one. We talk to each other through Serena, i.e.: "Tell your Daddy you're tired of watching ESPN and you wonder if the dryer stopped downstairs."
I think she's pleased with our progress, and trusts us enough to stick around.
