2 Months Old!!!

Well, the babies are now 2 months old (as of yesterday)! I can't believe it. They had their 2 month check-up today so Greg, the babies and I had to brave the yucky weather and bring them in to town. We had an appointment with a new doctor that our friend Nancy recommended. We really liked him and it was really easy to talk to him and ask questions. AND he's a big fan of emailing so I loved him even more! =)

The babies are doing great. They are both measuring 23 1/2 inches long and both are in the 75th percentile in everything. But their weights are what shocked me the most... Ella weighs 11 lbs. 8 oz. and Evan is a whopping 12 lbs. 4 oz! What little chunks! =) The doctor seemed very happy with their progress. The babies had some vaccinations today, but not all that Kaiser considers routine. Greg and I are HUGE advocates for the vaccines, but we (more I) get concerned and sucked in to all the hysteria of vaccinations possibly being linked to autism. We really don't believe that the two go together, but decided that we'd spread the vaccinations out for peace of mind. Our doctor was very understanding and respectful of our wishes. We were so glad to hear it because we hear of people that need to find new doctors because their doctors drop them as patients. The down side of spreading out the vaccines is that we need to go in more often and the babies have to get pricked more (We're following the alternative schedule round in The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears). Getting more shots are not so fun, but I'd prefer to ere on the side of caution. Speaking of getting 'pricked', Ella cried when she got hers, but I was able to calm her down fairly quickly (although she cried again when we took off the band-aid right before her bath tonight!), but Evan didn't cry at all. Greg said that he's a tough guy... and he is. =) Luckily, neither of them are fussy due to the shots. We gave them a dose of Tylenol right before the appointment just as a precaution.

Here are some pictures of the babies at 2 months old! =) Notice the super cute onesies that Grandma Kim made for the babies... Evan's little choo choo train and Ella's princess dress!

Ella rubs her eyes when she gets sleepy... SO cute!Ella always turns her head and cuddles in to her brother! =)Funny Boy!
