London's Two Month Stats

Like I said in my previous post London had her 2 month check up today. Which was going smoothly until it was time for the shots. London was actually fast asleep, but she had to have a oral shot and then three normal shots in her leg. It was a painful thing to have to watch, but right after London's shots it was time for Brooklyn to get her flu shot. So I comforted London, but she wouldn't stop crying. So I had to put her down. London had a really great check up much like her big sister she has sensitive skin and cradle cap, but is packing on the pounds and can hold her head up amazingly well for a two month old.

Stats:

Weights 11 pounds and 13 ounces which is the 50th percentile.
Height is 22 inches which puts her in the 25th percentile.
Her head circumferences is 15.7.

After all of her shots her big sissy gave her sweet sweet kisses.

2 Year Stats

Today I had the double please of taking both of my girls to the doctors for there check ups. I will start with Brooklyn's 2 year check up since it was in fact first and the easiest one of the day...I will say I will not schedule the check ups at the same time again or I won't go solo. Unfortunately Nick was unable to attend because he had to work so I did do it solo. Big mistake!

Dr. Ishibashi was very pleased with Brooklyn's progress, knowledge, vocabulary and just her overall. She asked Brooklyn a series of question, wheres your eyes, nose, mouth and such as she was checking her out. She knew where everything was and then Brooklyn even surprised me when Dr. I asked her where her back was and Brooklyn knew. It was pretty cute. It isn't one of the everyday things we ask her if she knows what it is, but Brooklyn knew. Then it was time for Brooklyn to jump so Dr. I asked her where the blue square on the floor was and Brooklyn failed she had no idea. So today when we got home we practiced our colors. I know she is just TWO, but Brooklyn is really smart. No seriously, it is not just because I am her mother. Brooklyn got a clean bill of health. She isn't due a scheduled visit until she is THREE.

Stats:
Weights only 24 pounds. Which I believe she said was the 25th percentile.
Height 33.5 inches again the 25th percentile.
Head circumference  was 18.7 the 50th percentile.

Brooklyn did have to get a flu shot today. I took a little video of it. Pardon the screaming baby in the background London didn't do so well with her shots.

Two Joyful Months

Today my little London is two months old! I honestly don't know where to begin. London you have made our family complete. The joy you bring to my heart everytime you smile or giggle is indescribable. You big sister loves you so very much, she just adores you. Today Brooklyn tried to feed you some of her chocolate chip cookie, but mommy stopped her. She loves to call you her baby. We are trying to break her of that. You are such a great little sleeper, but have a rough patch of the day between 3pm and 6pm. You really just want to "talk" ie cry and be held which mommy has no problem loving on you. Daddy loves to talk to you and make you laugh. You still make him uneasy with your wobbling ways, but he is coming around. We go to the doctor on the 29th for your two month shots and stats. I can't wait to see how much you have grown.

London Willow, you bring so much joy and love to our lives. I just can't imagine my life without you.

I love you so very much.

Not so happy London! Even upset she is adorable!

A Party for MY Princess!

On December 12 Brooklyn turned TWO. We had been talking up for birthday for weeks. Telling her that she was going to be TWO. Asking her how old are you going to be. It was actually quite funny because every time we asked her it sounded like she was saying NINE. I wanted to make her birthday morning special and since her dada had to work when she woke up we made her favorite blueberry pancakes. I had been talking up her birthday party all throughout breakfast because I wanted Brooklyn to get a morning nap in before her JUMP party at 12:30 so she wouldn't be a little beast at her party. We had a great morning just hanging out at home, eat breakfast, napped and then it was time to party. We had her party a JUMPMANJUMP which was a place with bounce houses, a super slide and a obstacle course. Brooklyn had a great time. She got so many great presents. We are so blessed to have such amazing friends that came out to celebrate Brooklyns' life. After her party we came home and pulled out some of our new toys and play and then we were fortunate enough to get a afternoon nap in as well. Brooklyn had an amazing second birthday. We will be going to the doctor on the 29th so I will post her two year stats.
