Sam's Two Month Appointment

-
Today we took Sam for his two month check up.  He now weighs 13 pounds, 9 ounce and is 23 inches long. This means that our three to six month clothing officially fits.  At Finn's 2 month appointment - Finn weighed 13 lbs, 3 oz and that he was 23 inches tall.


He has definitely "chunked" up!


Dr. Thompson told us that Sam is big enough that he should not be waking up twice in the night to eat.  She gave us some tips for weaning him down to getting up only once.  She said that it was too early to let him "cry it out" but told us to try everything to get him to go back to sleep except feeding him (great - that is going to be so fun).  She did say that we could give him a bottle of water (a suggestion from Gran) and that might help soothe him back to sleep.  I was all ready to use that approach last night.  I had already planned for Michael to get up and give him the water bottle on the second feeding and you would know that the little stinker only woke up once.  

We also had our first set of shots today.  Sam and Finn dealt with the pain very differently.  With Finn, as long as I fed him he didn't seem to mind the pain; Sam screamed right through the feeding.  He did manage to sleep most of the day though.  However when he did wake up his screams were impressive (to say it nicely).

As for Finn's day he spent most of the day in his new "playroom."  The playroom is a work in progress right now so I will post pictures later. 

After dinner last night Monica, Amanda and Cheryl came to visit Sam.  Monica was in my Sunday School class when I taught middle school girls; Amanda is her sister and Cheryl is their mother.  We had a great visit.  Sam really liked Cheryl - every time she looked at him he would smile. Sam was in a good mood and Finn was in a great mood. He was all over the place with excitement.


 


Just a few pictures from Gran's visit.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
