August- Week 4

We took a quick family picture to put in a family bio for a history book being complied for our ward/neighborhood's 40th reunion.  

 Anna had her two month check up!

Anna's 2 Month Stats

Height: 23.5 in (4 in increase in 2 months) 90th percentile

Weight: 11.1 lbs (3.5 lb increase in 2 months) 60th percentile

Head: 75th percentile

We skyped with Grandma Kelly shortly after we got home from that appointment.  Anna did just fine with her shots and they clearly wore her out!  

 Other fun things about Anna at two months:

• She snorts a lot when she cries
• She LOVES her bath time
• She loves laying on her tummy on people's laps.  Not so much on the floor. 
• I already found her turned 90 degrees from where I put her down in her crib- she's a wiggly one
• She's very smiley, especially for mom! :)  

By this point, I had been 10 days off of dairy, her face was almost totally clear, but she was still quite cranky in the evenings.  The Dr. prescribed some baby Zantac to see if she was continuing to be fussy, especially while nursing, due to some acid reflux.  About a week later, I quit giving the Zantac to her because she was a whole new baby.  Relaxed while nursing, content and pleasant in the evenings.  That no dairy thing was a life saver!  

We had some friends over for dinner during this week.  

One of my dear friends from VA who just adopted a sweet baby boy 10 days older than Anna.  My sister came too. :) 

The older kids played great together too! 

We played a little match-maker with the babies.  

 McKenna had her first dental cleaning!  She did awesome!  

No tears and no cavities! 

She got to pick a prize, and we found out she has a slight cross bite.  Goody! 

 Anna began to enjoy soft blankets close to her face more and more.  It almost immediately makes her eyes close if they were already heavy.  

Chubby cheeks starting to fill in!  

 McKenna also started gymnastics!  

 Ever since a neighbor gave us the American Girl Doll movie, McKenna Shoots for the Stars, she's been obsessed with gymnastics.  So she's pretty much in heaven every Friday morning.  

That weekend, Dan and I got to go to a Bee's baseball game with fireworks at the end!  A great date night with Anna tagging along!
