Two Month Stats

Reed went to the doctor today. We found out that our big boy is right on track, gaining two pounds in the last month. He is now up to 12 pounds, 9 ounces and is 23 inches tall. The doctor said his muscle tone is excellent and that he is very advanced with his neck control and because he can roll over. This is wonderful, but this time around I wouldn't mind if my little one doesn't start scooting for a long time!

Reed's growth is slowing down compared to Emma's. Emma was 11 pounds, 14 ounces and 22 1/2 inches long. Emma also ate a lot more than Reed does.

He had to have 4 shots and one oral vaccine. He wasn't a big fan of the oral vaccine, but really hated the shots. He has been sleeping ever since then with only small breaks when I wake him up to eat.

Time Flies

Two months have already passed since Reed was born. In some ways it seems that it cannot be possible that time has moved that quickly, but more often it seems that he has been a part of our family forever. It is already getting to a point where I cannot remember a time without his sweet face.

Some quick Reed updates:
Likes- riding forward facing in the sling, "talking" with anyone who will converse with him, rolling
over tummy to back, being outside, being swaddled, smiling, sitting and standing in laps, and most of all his sister
Dislikes- being left alone, his crib, not getting fed right when he wants to be, mommy feeding him
bottles, the sun in his face
Milestones- sleeping through the night most nights, rolling over tummy to back, smiling and cooing.

Today was great. Emma was singing along to "Numbers Rhumba" (yes, I do wish I could say it was a cooler song, but hey who said The Wiggles aren't cool!!) and all of a sudden Reed starts cooing and talking to Emma. He talks all the time face to face, but not just on his own...guess he was singing along with his sister. I have a feeling the backseat is going to be a much louder place in the near future!





I am so utterly amazed at the love between the two of them. I know things will get rougher once he starts getting into all of her things, but Emma just adores him. When I pick her up at mother's day out it isn't me she is excited to see, but him. I figured by now the novelty would have worn off, but the love grows every day. Reed is the same way, any time he sees Emma his face just lights up and he already hangs on every little thing she does. Who knew they could be so close already!

Shake, Rattle and Roll

Watch and see little Reed show off. He was doing this a few days ago, and only 8 weeks old at that. And then his big sister comes to congratulate and put some lovin' on him.

The Birthday Day Girls

Well, it was that time again. This time it was birthday #3 for Emma and Mackenzie a few weeks ago. For those of you who didn't know, they were born only a week apart. We had a little get together at our house and the girls, along with Cali, played together with bubbles, chasing frogs, playing on the toy set and just looking cute.

Summer Fun

Yes, we found the elusive, and child-wearing-out, all wonderful spray park. Emma absolutely loves it and keeps asking to go back. Here we caught her with some of her friends playing and having a grand time.
