2 month check-up

Well, you did it, baby! You went for your 2 month check-up yesterday. You now weight 12lbs 12 oz & are 24 inches long. You've gained almost 5 pounds since you left the hospital & grew 4 inches. I can't believe it. Oh yeah, you're also in the 95th percentile for height & weight. That means, if there were 100 babies in a room.. you're be longer & weigh more than 95 of them. YOU'RE SO BIG!! Daddy & I keep laughing & telling you that's what happens when you decide to be 12 days overdue. You're more like a 10 week old to us!

You were having so much fun at the doctors. You were laying on the table talking, cooing, laughing, kicking like crazy & just carrying on looking at everything. When the nurse & Dr. Pearson came in, you just looked at them as they moved you all over checking your eyes, ears, legs, belly.. everything. You LOVE the paper on the table, hearing it crinkle. It makes you kick your legs harder & faster. You were so funny.

Then, came the not so fun part. You had to have 3 of your first round of vaccinations & another kind in liquid form. You didn't mind the liquid one so much.. you just sat there & watched the nurse as she gave it to you. Then, the shots. Daddy held one hand, I held the other. We brought Lyon, Daddy kept playing him for you. Lyon didn't do anything for you =/ You SCREAMED. You turned completely red & held your breath for the longest time, longer than you normally do when you're mad. It was so hard for Mommy not to cry. My eyes were full of tears, I just stayed as strong as I could for you. Though you don't know who he is yet. You got Scooby-Doo band-aids. They looked so cute on your little legs because they were so big. You were asleep before we even got back to the house which isn't even a mile away. You pretty much slept until 8:30. You didn't want to be anywhere sleeping though other then on Mommy or Daddy's arms. When you did wake up though, you were a brand new baby, it was like nothing had happened. We layed you on the bed & you just talked to us & kicked those little legs like crazy. It made me laugh because Dr. Pearson said if you kicked your legs you might cry because they would be sore. But not you! Like Daddy says, "you're tough!"

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Kinsley! "St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time., a day to turn winter's dreams into summer's magic!" It's BEAUTIFUL today. It's going to be almost 70 degrees & sunny. I think I've convinced Daddy to fire up the grill for dinner tonight since he'll be home with us ALL evening! I think I'll take you for a walk this afternoon, maybe we'll take 2! I love you so much sweetie!
