So finding time to sit down and write what each kids is up to is SO tough. When I actually have "me" time... sitting at the computer is the last thing that I want to do.
It just seems crazy that 17 months have come and gone SO quickly. I feel as though each month is going faster and faster. So I now have a 17 month old and a 2 month old. WOW... that seems SO crazy to me.
Owen just had his 18 month check-up while Holden has his 2 month and the stats were:
Owen 22 lbs. 30.5 inches.... still a pip squeak.
Holden 12.4 lbs 24 inches long... Tall and thin...
Owen you are a learning machine lately. You ask what EVERYTHING is... and when I tell you, you try your best to repeat what I said... so I am not really sure how many words you actually know anymore. The last time we counted it was over 50.. then i quit counting. (this was words you use correctly to name/label).
You just got your first haircut, by mom.... it was kind of tough.. you wouldn't sit still AT ALL, and seemed somewhat affraid of the scissors coming that close to your head... which is funny because you will sit very still and let me cut your fingernails, and toenails.. maybe because I have been doing that since you were born at least once a week... not really sure. You are cutting your 4 "eye" teeth and it was BAD in the beginning but you seem fine now. You have been sleeping a little bit more... but hopefully thats because you are GROWING :). You have started to eat alittle bit better.. and we have been letting you sit at the table with us in a booster chair... you seem to like it and you make a much smaller mess.. (I hate cleaning the high-chair)
I have begun looking into pre-school programs for you next year. Registration for most begin in the next 2 weeks- I love the MMO program you are in now, but i think you need more than one day a week. So i have scheduled a few tours to see what else is out there.
Next week we are headed to NC... this will be your brothers first trip... I am hoping for an easy enoyable car ride... FiNGERS CrOSSED :)
At 2 months Holden is a growing MACHINE. he has almost grown 5 inches since he was born... that is CRAZY! Holden is a very calm baby, and he loves to giggle, coo, and smile... pretty much all the time. He is smiling or sleeping :). Holden is a good sleeper for the most part waking once, and sometimes twice to eat.. But usually sleeps 6 hours straight when he first goes down.
Holden rolled over twice when he was 6 weeks old... but we have yet to see him do it again... i really don't think he actually ment to roll... he seemed SO surprised by his actions. He likes to lay on his stomach and hold his head way up high.. he just looks around and laughs... he must think we are all REAL silly... b/c he laughs at us all the time, especially Owen.
I can already see love in Holden's eyes for his big brother.. When Owen tries to play with him or lay beside him on the floor... Holden has the biggest grin a 2 month could.
It is one of my favorite things to see... Those boys already LOVE each other so much!
Well... times up.. I have a million things to do while BOTH kids are napping....(that never happens)
XOXOX
