Morning

There is no place more glamorous than mornings at our house...

QED

2 Months!

So I hinted that she was getting big. I had no idea how big! Stats from her 2 month appointment yesterday:

Your Vitals Were - Last Recorded

	Height	Weight	BMI	HC
	23.5" (90.20%*)	12 lb 11.7 oz (5.775 kg) (82.09%*)	16.2 kg/m2	39 cm (73.14%*)

What's up 90th percentile for height? She is so going to be just like Alex...

The only bad news from the appointment - we need to start working her off the swaddle. Which is a huge bummer since sleep has been going so well!

Oh well. The sooner she's in control of those arms the sooner she can start sleeping with Mr. Lemur.

Fishing - Part 2

So armed with new found fishing pole and skills, Sunday Alex decided that we were ready for the big time and found us a great place to go:

Took us a couple of wrong turns to find it, but I was amazed when we did. It was a gorgeous spot, and we had the place to ourselves.

First order of business, bait the hook. Surprisingly c wasn't squeamish about using live worms at all.

Ready, FISH!

Dada was proud :o)

Fishing - Part 1

Alex and c went out Saturday afternoon on some errands and upon their return c busted back in the house super excited. Turns out Alex had finally gotten her a fishing pole, after months of practicing with sticks in the back yard. She LOVES to pretend to fish, so she was thrilled to get some lessons with an actual pole.

Though sometime it's hard to wait your turn when the lesson starts to drag...

Speaking of dragging, max also got in the action. This mighty hunter was all over stalking the "fish" attached to the end of the line.

In the end max lost interest and c got to play

which turned out to be a very good thing... (to be continued)

Big girl

Litlle m's not so little any more:

Notice the snaps on that onesie? That are barely keeping things closed? Guess it's about time to put away the new born stuff :o)

Plus side of the chunk - I think it's helping her sleep. This big girl definitely slept through the night last night. I put her down ~9 and she slept until ~7 this morning. IT WAS AWESOME.

Infant care

For your edification, c demonstrates the basics of infant care...

Finding systems

I am all about finding more efficient ways to do things. Let me tell you, bringing m home has only made that drive stronger. The trouble is that since the kids keep changing the rules about when things happen (like waking up), it's been a bit of a challenge getting into a groove.  When Alex was out of town I started getting up before either of the girls in order to pump, get dressed, and have a couple of minutes by myself before morning chaos. It actually worked really well so I tried the same thing yesterday and of course c wakes up and comes on in while I was pumping and Alex was in the shower. Luckily I had a sweatshirt on, but I was still faced with many a question :o) Today I managed not only to get up and pump, but I also "ran" before anyone else was up. Using quotes there since it was more intervals than straight running, but still it felt awesome to get out without a stroller and move at exactly the pace I wanted to go.

The run put the rest of the morning back a bit, so we ended up having some extra time while Alex finished getting ready. We put it to the best use possible - sister bonding :o)
