Summer is flying by and my super happy, oh-so-good, smiley baby is 3 months old today! I'm going to do my best to recap June and July since our summer has been nothing short of CRAZY BUSY, I'm not finding the time to update the blog as much as I'd like.
Fiona got her first round of shots at her 2 month check up, of course I felt just awful for her, poor little thing cried like crazy and I absolutely melt every time she sticks that little bottom lip out and her eyes tear up....it's ridiculously adorable yet heartbreaking all at the same time!! Johnny met me at the appointment to watch Jack who immediately started crying and shaking his head and saying no with his hand up in the air because he suddenly realized where we were and thought we were there for him. I swear after his last visit when he had croup doctor visits may never be the same for that kid! We calmed him down and explained that we were here for the baby and then he became very interested in everything happening to her. Little Miss weighed 12lbs 4oz and 22 inches long. She's in the 50th percentile for height and the 80th for weight!!! I'm really loving her little rolls, her little legs and cheeks kill me, I could just kiss those chubby baby cheeks all day! She is so far the exact opposite of Jack, he was always in the 50th percentile for weight and way above average for height.
Speaking of Jack, he had his 2 year check up, is 36 inches tall and 30lbs. I of course had both kids at the doctor by myself this time which I thought would be a breeze until I found out that he would be getting shots. As soon as he heard his name called in the waiting room he started to freak out and get really upset. I was carrying him on one arm and her car seat with the other (talk about a workout). We got through the nurse, and just as I got him distracted the doctor came in. Had to hold him on my lap as she checked him over. She left and it felt like an eternity waiting for the nurse to come back and do the shots. He calmed down and was doing better, Fiona on the other hand was screaming at this point because she wanted out of the car seat and was hungry. Finally the nurse came and I found myself holding an extremely strong 2 year old who was writhing in my arms to get free. Shots were quick but so scary for my little baby. I just felt so bad and there was nothing I could do other than tell him it was going to be OK and promise him ice cream.
Jack is still so in-love with his sister and jumps at the chance to snuggle her any chance he gets :)
Fiona finally got to meet her great grandfather, he'd been in the hospital recovering from leg surgery. I didn't want to take her anywhere near a hospital and risk her catching anything, so we just waited for him to come home.
I tried putting a headband on her but realized it was leaving a dent in her head so won't be putting this one back on. I need to find some not-so-snug ones.
As you can see in her pictures she is becoming quite the little chunk. She's still wearing 3 months mostly but is starting to fit into 6 months already!! She's wearing 6 month sleepers at night now. She is smiling up a storm and she has THE BEST smile ever. She really pays attention to me when I look at her and talk to her. She breaks into the biggest smile so easily, sometimes I don't even have to say anything, just look at her. There really isn't a better feeling that when that happens!
Her eyes are still a darker shade of blue, I'm still hoping they turn green like mine OR at least stay blue. She follows my voice and watches me walk around the room. She's really starting to be attached to me specifically. At night she seems to really only want to be around me. I usually hand her over to Johnny and try to get the kitchen cleaned up or something done before bed, and she ALWAYS starts to fuss and then cry and as soon as I pick her up and bring her over by me she quiets right down.
We had my mom watch the kids at night a couple times and she's pulled the same thing with her. She takes a bottle all night long until it's her last feeding before bed and she refuses the bottle and only wants to nurse. So she fusses and/or cries until I come home. in fact I'm supposed to be at a wedding right now but decided it was better to stay home seeing as it is an hour away and I wouldn't be able to race right home if need be.
She is gnawing on her little hands a lot lately, so much that I actually checked her for teeth the other day. I think she's just discovering her hands and using them to soothe herself. So cute to watch though, her little mouth and tiny fingers, I could seriously stare at her all day, she amazes me at how much she develops and grows so quickly. 
Jack has his own camera and I caught him snapping some pics of his sister. This looks like its a close-up! He's such a character!
