Luna looks fine from the photos. I suggest you get a small scale and weigh her twice a week. As long as she is gaining weight I would not be worried about how much she is eating. It is not likely that a kitten would starve herself. At 2 months old she should be ready for her first vaccines. If you have not done that already, you should get her to your vet for her vaccines and an exam. That way your vet can check her over thoroughly (including her mouth) to see if there is anything to be concerned about. I cannot really tell much from a couple photos other than the fact that is adorable! Hope this helps. Best wishes.
