Happy Thanksgiving, 2015

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!  We enjoyed some nice time with family, ate way too much food, and spent countless hours outdoors with Opa, throwing the “magic football” up onto the roof and waiting for it to bounce back down.

Lena: 2 Months

At my two month check-up I was 13 pounds 10 ounces, 23 inches long, and had a 16.75 inch head circumference.  The doctor thought she felt a clicking in one of my hips at that appointment, so Mommy had an ultrasound done to rule out hip dysplasia.  I’m fine!

I’ve recently started cooing, and still have a very gentle disposition (with the exception of some acid reflux).  I slept through the night for the first time on November 12, 2016, although my nighttime sleep is still a little inconsistent.  I’m a champion napper, sometimes sleeping for a 2.5-3 hour stretch.

Current likes: being in my Beco carrier (puts me to sleep instantly!)

Current dislikes: falling asleep for the night earlier than 11:00 p.m.

Jack: 2 Years 6 Months

I’m two and a half years old!  At my doctor’s appointment I measured three feet and one half an inch tall, weighed in at 31 pounds, and I had a 20.5 inch head circumference.

My whole world is currently defined by Marvel’s Avengers.  I love them all (but Captain America’s my favorite) and I just can’t get enough of them.  I read my books about them over and over, with running commentary (“Hulk can pick up a whole guy.”  “Black widow kickin’ everybody.”  “Watcher’s peeking.”  “Vision is an android.”)

I’ve completely dropped naps at daycare, which has brought a few challenges with it.  I’m pretty exhausted by the time Mommy and Daddy get there to pick me up, which can prompt either meltdowns, or falling asleep for the night during the car ride home.  Growing up isn’t all easy!

Current likes: Captain America

Current dislikes: naps

Lena: Silly Hat Model

I’ve become the victim of Mommy’s knitting hobby.  Good thing my head grows so quickly … I’m out of these hats as fast as she can make them!
