2 Months - Our Sweet Chunky Monkey!

Got back from Colbie's 2 month doc appointment today. I have to say I was surprised at what we found out! I mean, I knew she was chubby, but didn't realize she was topping the charts! Way to go baby girl!

Here are her current stats (at 8 weeks):

Height: 23 in - 75%ile

Weight: 13 lbs - 95%ile

Head Circ: 15.2 in - 50%ile

After finding out she is in the 95%ile for weight, I now understand why she is such a good sleeper! 

Here are some recent pics of Colbie (and big bro):

All ready for church! Even though she threw up all over herself, and Chris, 5 minutes into the meeting so we had to go home and didn't even get to take the sacrament. I'm not talking a little throw up, we're talking gushing amounts - babies are unbelievable!

And here's a few shots of the sweet baby rolls!

 She's not messing around with those thighs!

What Colbie is up to at 8 weeks:

-Smiles a lot. Loves people talking to her.

-Starting to "coo" and make more sounds (adorable!)

-Tracks objects and people really well.

-Sleeps about 10-12 hours a night. IN A ROW!

-Still nursing. But have been able to get her to drink some formula from a bottle a few times.

-Loves to be held upright, and bounced. How we rock her to sleep.

-Has had a few accidents of her big brother picking her up and dropping her, but she's been a real trooper about the accidents!

-That being said, her big brother loves her so much. Not a second of the day passes when Luke isn't aware of "baby" or "tah buh," as he calls her. He loves you so much baby sister.

-Is generally a very happy, social baby.

-Wears size 2 diapers.

-Was fussy for a few hours each night up until recently. Would cry a lot and need to be held and rocked. Now she is a little more settled and seems happier.

-Fighting off some baby acne and cradle cap, but still, the most beautiful baby!!

WE LOVE YOU COLBIE. AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR ROLLS!

Zeke & Erin

It was a busy month. We were really lucky to see lots of family! Erin & Zeke were on their way to Green Bay (Wisconsin) to help a friend out who just had a baby - so they stayed with us for 3 days or so on their way. Zeke and Luke had a grand ol' time playing with each other. Their temperaments are pretty similar, and the naughty things they do are similar as well, so it was pretty funny. For example: throwing every toy up in the air, throwing every toy down the stairs - and over the gate, hitting, ignoring mamas, and dancing - which is not naughty, obviously. Was fun to be around Zeke because he's a little spunkier than I had realized. So funny! They are some pretty cute little boys.

 Zeke would always find the necklaces in the toy drawers and put them on. Was really cute.

Lots of dancing

 Luke was a little hesitant with the hugs at first, but after a day he warmed right up as you can see!

Remember the otters I mentioned in my previous post, well Zeke and Luke enjoyed watching one swim around in the hot tub as well.

We all went to the aquarium again, because it is always such a hit. The boys loved it. And looked very cute in their matching shirts.

 Love these pictures that Erin took

and love this one too :)

 Erin is due with baby boy #2 on Dec 30th and you would never even know it. She looks so terrific! How do you do it Erin?

Luke's cousins Avery, Lucy & Nora joined us at the aquarium as well. (Nora is only 9 mo old and is in the stroller - this is Lucy and Avery in the picture.) Fun to hang out with both sides of cousins at once!

By the end of the trip they really warmed up to each other. Haha! They are going to be mad at us one day for these pictures...

This one seems a little sketchy :)

We miss you Zeke and Erin! Thanks for coming to play!
