Today was Lauren’s 2 month appointment. Her stats are:

Height: 24” (90%)

Weight: 11 ½ lb (75%)

Head Circumference: 40cm (75%)

She’s staying right on the curve. She got her vaccinations and did not like that one bit but she calmed right down when I nursed her afterwards. I think the position that they hold her in is what really irritates her…the needles just add to it. She’s healthy as a horse and just perfect according to the ped.

Katherine had a doctors appointment yesterday. She’s weighing in at a whopping 24 lbs fully dressed.

 

Took her to the “bunny bash” at the local park. She sat on the easter bunny’s lap with Lauren and had popcorn, a sno-cone and cotton candy for lunch. Boy was she a sticky, happy mess!

Realized that Katherine has stopped saying “mee meeps” for music. She corrected me when I asked her if she wanted mee meeps. That made me kind of sad. She’s leaving her babyhood behind at a rapid rate now.

Lauren’s first real laugh. In response to mommy tickling her. Music to my ears!

I just laid Lauren down on her tummy so I could work a bit. Before I could even look at my computer, she rolled over. I put her back on her tummy and she rolled over the other way. Wow!

So we have been trying to potty train K or at least get her interested again. Well, she went tonight and we were making a big deal out of it. Then she went up to her dad and said, "Can I have my chocolate and my lollipop now please dad". He gave it to her. Later I told her that I was proud of her but that we don't get treats every time we go potty. Woody said um....I told her she gets two chocolate kisses and a lollipop every time she uses the potty. I looked at him with what was apparently the crazy face, because he backtracked and said, "We can wean it from her after a week or two". What the heck!?!

We will be having a discussion tonight. She's all about routine and I see her asking for kisses and lollipops every time she pees, well into her 20's

I guess she will get them for the next bit, and I'll be reading up on how to correct terrible parenting mistakes after they've been made.

We had a nice easter. The easter bunny got Katherine some water colors, washable markers and princess panties and also a ton of candy. He got Lauren two rattles and a teether. Katherine had a blast finding eggs this morning.

 

Lauren has been rolling over from belly to back and back to belly for a few days now. She did back to belly the day after belly to back. It’s nuts!
