Sophie:
*Well, she went to her 2 month check up on Monday. She now weighs 10 pounds 3 ounces and is 22.75 inches long! She got her 2 month shots, and Chris said she did fairly well. We were definitely spoiled that day because she went to bed around 5:30pm and didn't get up until 9:00am the next morning--well, except for eating!*She has put herself to sleep quite a few times during nap and a couple of times at bed time. Still not much of a pattern with her yet, but we are working on it.
*She does wake up full of smiles for us each morning and her brother wants to be the first to kiss her. She is definitely loved by him. I will have to save these cute little journal entries and remind them how much they loved each other when they are in their teen years!
*She does spend more time awake during the day. We are trying to find a careful balance of how long to let her stay awake. We've found out that if she stays awake too long, then she gets over tired and then night time is a bear!
*She has discovered that she can make noises now. The other night she was saying, "Ahhh!" After a couple of times doing it, she realized that it was her and she kept smiling and saying, "Ahhh!"
Josiah:
*Well, he has gone back swimming and REALLY loves it! He's getting to the point that he doesn't want to get out of the pool. I need to go get him a wet suit shirt because he gets so cold when he is in the pool. He usually comes out with blue lips! He is putting his face in the water, kicking his feet, lying on his back, jumping off the side of the pool and "swimming" on his stomach (Chris is holding him).*He is definitely a very observant child. It is amazing how he knows how Chris and I do things. The other day, I was brushing my teeth. When I got done rinsing my mouth, he grabbed the hand towel and gave it to me to wipe my mouth. Then he was taking a shower the other day. After I got done washing him, he took the soap and wash cloth and started "washing" himself. When we get a package in the mail, he goes to the kitchen and points where the scissors are because he knows we need to use them to open the box.
*Chris had a sad moment the other day with Josiah. We were walking Chris to the door because he was leaving for work. Out of the blue, Josiah said in his soft voice, "Bye-bye, Daddy!" He had never said that to anyone before. It made Chris sad because he realized that Josiah knew he was leaving. I told him to not get sad until he says, "Daddy, don't go!"
*The other night we were getting dinner ready. Josiah asked for "Fluff," so I made him a Fluffanutter sandwich. To our surprise, he actually wanted the sandwich and ate 1.5 sandwiches that night!
*One night we were reading one of our library books before he went to bed. It was a book about a hat. This is one of his words from his reading program, so I figured I would see if he could read it. Sure enough when I pointed to the word, he read "hat." There was a sentence that said, "No hat!" and when I pointed to that he was able to read those words.
*One afternoon, Josiah was standing right next to me. I asked him, "Do you want to draw with Mommy?" He looked at me, tilted his head and said, "What?" At that moment, I thought, "Isn't he too young to be doing that? I thought this didn't start until his teenage years."
*Josiah is quite the comedian. The other night we were at the dinner table, and Josiah was eating goldfish. He held one up to feed to Chris like he has so many times in the past. He got it right to Chris' mouth and then put the goldfish in his mouth and started laughing. We both looked at each other and started laughing with Josiah. If we're not careful, we might have a class clown on our hands.
As you can see, we are staying busy and entertained. Well, I should get going and try to get a few things done while the kids are napping
