Little John

August 3rd, 2010

Today was John’s 2 month well baby appointment. Boy has our little guy grown! He weighed 14 pounds 6 ounces, was 25 inches long and his head circumference was in the 95th percentile (as were his weight and length)- not so little anymore! John tolerated the actual shots fairly well- he cried a bit and then fell promptly asleep on my shoulder. He seemed fine all afternoon until he woke up from a nap and realized how sore his little legs were. He was not a happy camper and we had to spend quite some time before he calmed down enough to take some baby tylenol and get a little milk drunk. Thankfully he’s sleeping soundly now, and hopefully by tomorrow morning he will be feeling back to his usual self.

Hazel spent the last two days at Omi’s house enjoying a few nights of sleepover fun while mama and John had the house to ourselves to clean and hang out. It was nice to be able to get so much done in the house and it was great to spend some time alone with John, but we missed Hazel so so much while she was gone and we’re glad to have her crazy little self back in the house. She is such a little firecracker and she has become so funny. The things this kid says are hilarious- my favorite phrase right now is, “How ‘Bout Me?!” whenever she hears about something that she wants to do/have too. Instead of me too she says, “How ‘Bout Me!?” It is so funny… she also says “What happened?” whenever something isn’t quite the way she remembers it, or whenever something isn’t the way it should be. Hazel is really into Toy Story right now, and she is in love with Buzz Lightyear. John was given a Buzz Lightyear plush toy when he was born, and Hazel has it on permanent loan right now. She has even mentioned “Get Married with Buzz” a few times… what can I say? the girl is in Love!

Here are a few pictures from the last month or so, including pics from when Grammy and Grampy came out to visit. We had such a nice visit with them and are excited to see everyone again in about a month when we head out to Kansas!
