Check-Ups

Both Reagan and Avery had check-ups last week. Avery had her two month and Reagan had her 18 month (a month and a half late). They were both due for shots so I knew it wouldn't be a fun morning for any of us. Adam joined us in the outing for moral support. Reagan hates going to the doctor and usually clams up the minute we walk into the room, this hasn't changed one bit! They started with Avery so she could become more comfortable.

Here were their measurement stats for the check-up:
Avery:
Weight-13 lbs...95%
Height-22 1/4 inches...50%
Head- 15 3/4 inches 75%

Reagan:
Weight- 23.2 lbs...25%
Height- 33 inches...75%
Head- 18 inches...25 and below%

Within the last two weeks Avery has begun smiling and cooing at us. She loves to be held and suck on her paci. She is a great sleeper, she sleeps between 6 and 8 hours a night!! If she isn't sleeping she is eating:) She is still fighting some acid reflux but the medicine seems to be helping.

Reagan continues to learn new things daily. She is starting to show some interest in the potty, even having several successful tries!! She is talking up a storm these days, some words we understand and others still come out as gibberish. Some of the words she is saying these days is daddy, mommy (instead of dada and mama), hi, bye-bye, outside, inside, Bo (her friend across the street), Ellie, Annie (grandma and grandpa's dog) bump, bubble, knee, home, ball, up, down, poop, etc. She makes lots of animal noises such as the cow, dog, rooster, monkey, bear, rabbit (hop, hop), owl, sheep, pig, and horse to name a few. She likes to read books and count objects in them. We point out body parts and is having fun trying to say them. She just about has right arm and leg and left arm and leg figured out. She continues to love books and Mickey.

Reagan and Avery continue to bring us so much joy and fulfillment. We can't imagine life without them and certainly can't remember what life was like before them!
