Baby C 2 Month Check Up

Baby C had her official 2 month doctor's appointment today.

She weighed in at 12.1 pounds and 24 inches long. That puts her in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. Her head is 16 inches which puts her in the 97th percentile. This is very similar to what Big C was when he was 2 months old. Our doctor noticed how much she looks like Big C when he was 2 months old. Baby C got a clean bill of health! The doctor was impressed by how well she controlled her head and her alertness. There was a little concern that she may have a small hernia, however her doctor is pretty sure that it is just a true outtie belly button. She will check it again at her 4 month appointment to make sure. Baby C loved the nurses until they have her the shots! She was smiling, cooing, and even giggled at them....then SCREAMED and cried. It never gets easy watching your babies get shots. She is sleeping it off now.
Here is just one of her "battle" wounds.

I might be retiring her nickname "Pukerella". I discovered that she doesn't like it when I drink milk, hints the puking up. So, for now, I have cut out dairy from my diet. Bring on the Soy milk! It actually does not taste that much different and isn't that bad, if you get the vanilla soy milk. Oh, the things we do for our little ones!

No More Teachers, No More Books....Right?

WRONG!!!!

This girl is going back to school.....GRADUATE school that is. Guess it is time that I got to work on the 'ole Masters Degree. I signed up for my first classes and will begin this summer.


I figured that since I helped my husband get his Administrator license it shouldn't be too hard for me...right?

Getting Ready For Easter


After thinking about it, this post should have been titled "How We Got Ready For Easter". We...or should I say I....decided to dye eggs again this year. With Big C being 2 and Baby C being 2months, they really weren't in to it. Yes, this was mainly for me. I just think that it is so much fun! I love to do traditional things just as dying eggs, getting dressed up in our Easter gear, hunting for eggs, Easter baskets, and etc. Here are some pictures from our egg dying experience.
Big C making sure I'm following directions...
Baby C doing one of the two things she does best...

Happy Easter! Baby C 2Months!

Baby C is 2 months old today...what a special Easter for us!

What's up with Baby C?
  • Baby C is wearing size 2 diapers.
  • Baby C is wearing clothes that are 3-6 months old. They are a little big on her in her legs, however she needs the length for her torso. The 0-3 months do not allow for her to stretch and baby girl loves to stretch!
  • She is still nursing and does eat breast milk from a bottle.
  • She eats every 3 hours during the day but stretches out her feedings to 6 hours at night! Woohoo!
  • Baby C has delighted us by beginning to smile which melts our hearts!
  • She loves looking at fans and lights. She thoroughly enjoys being outside and watching her big brother play.
  • When she is awake, she is so alert! She also LOVES to be cuddled!
  • She has continues to spoil us by being such an amazing baby girl!
Baby C celebrated her first Easter with us today! She had a beautiful dress on, but sadly Pukerella got to it before I could take a picture of her in it. Big C wore this same outfit...minus the headband and bow...on his first Easter two years ago.
Big C got to open his Easter basket after his FOUR HOUR nap....an Easter present to his parents!


His favorite gift? These animals with wheels. He runs around the house carrying them and lining them up every. He LOVES these things!


Baby C also got her first Easter present....sleepers!


Happy Easter to you all!
