Eve’s 2 month checkup

I took Eve in for her two month checkup today.
No surprises. She’s a healthy little baby. She weighed in at
12lbs 14oz (about a pound and a half more than last month) and
23.5″. I think the doctor said she is in the 90th percentile
for both. I brought up the fact that Eve seems to spit up a ton
(sometimes she seems to spit up more than she nurses!!) and the
doctor said that as long as she is happy/content (she is) and
growing (clearly, she is!) then there is nothing to worry
about. I kind of figured that, but it was good to hear anyway.
We ended the visit with her first round of vaccinations. She
got three shots in the leg and a new oral vaccine for
Rotovirus. She didn’t much care for the oral vaccine, but she
handled the shots like a champ! I was all packed up and
prepared to bolt out of there with fussy toddler and screaming
infant, but they both went easy on me and we all left
peacefully.

Eve has also stared smiling, cooing and gooing a
lot. Sometimes she looks so focused as she “talks” and you
wonder if she’s really trying to convey something important :)
Or just thinking, “hmm… if I move my mouth like this I get an
interesting new sound… oh, look, mommy can make that sound
too.” :)

Party time!

We had a fabulous party for Lex. The weather was
perfect, food was yummy, and lots of people came… even a few
kids :) Lex got lots of fun presents and we all had a good
time. Surprisingly, he even took a bath and went to bed very
happily! I was expecting a meltdown at bedtime (we forgot to
brush his teeth, so that probably helped things go more
smoothly). Here are a few pics and I posted the rest (207 of
them!!) online. There are also a few videos at the end.

His big presents included a swing set with a
slide (he loves slides!) and a kiddie pool full of colorful
plastic balls. That provided a great deal of entertainment for
the evening. We even had trouble getting him to open the rest
of the presents. Typically for a two year old, I’m sure. The he
splashed in his “ball bath” and Aunt Rosy and others helped him
take a “ball shower” and a spin through the “ball washing
machine.” A good time was had by all! Thanks to everyone who
came to help us celebrate! :)

Lex turns two today,
Let’s
all stand up and say,
Hip, hip hooray, hip, hip
hooray,
Lex turns two today!

Me and my mom spent the day with
Lex and Eve getting pictures taken at The Picture People. It
was interesting. A little more challenging than our last
expedition there for Lex’s 1st birthday pictures. But, in the
end we got some great pictures, so it was all worth it, of
course :) Lex had a bit of a rough day that started with a face
plant into the battery pack on the bouncy seat, resulting in a
nice bruise on his cheek. Then a long drive in the car and
forced posing for the camera. But then he got to ride on the
merry-go-round so he ended up a happy camper. Tomorrow we have
his birthday party. He will be overwhelmed, but I think he’ll
have fun.

Happy Family

Jan took this picture when
she was here on Tuesday. I thought it was cute. Lex said he
wanted to hold Eve, so we sat down and I put her in his lap and
this is how we ended. Jan said “Quick, where is your camera?”
