Kinley- 2 weeks

One of these days I'll get caught up on the blogs...

Kinley turned 2 weeks old last Monday.  She had her 2 week checkup that morning, so I dropped Harrison off at Mama C's while we went to the doctor.  Everything looked great!  She is growing right on track!  She got her heel pricked, but since she was eating at the time, I don't think she even noticed.  Tough little girl. 

Kinley's latest...
-She's sleeping 2.5-3 hr stretches. 
-She eats really well.
-She does a pretty good job of holding her head up. 
-She's starting to have more and longer periods where she's awake. 
-She seems to have a pretty laid back attitude.  I'll be interested to see if that sticks around. 
-She enjoys hanging out in the swing and the bouncer. 

She doesn't like the paci near as much as this picture makes it look like.

"Do I have to wake up?"

She LOVED her bath!  I acutally thought she might fall asleep for a little bit.

"Sometimes being a big brother is even better than being a superhero."

We all wondered how Harrison would react to having a baby sister.  Even though he was a little hesitant at first, I think these pictures speak for themselves.
 















We still have to remind him to be easy with her, but over all he does great!! 

Harrison 21 months!

Harrison turned 21 months on April 24th and just 2 days before that he became a big brother!

A few things about Harrison in the last month:
- He has started playing with his food more.  Mealtimes are definitely interesting.  He's good at making a mess. 
- He wants to dip everything in either ketchup or ranch. 
- He has started jumping.  He doesn't always get both feet off the ground, but he tries really hard. 
- He has a fake giggle that is hilarious!
- He pretends to give his zoo animals drinks from his cup and food from his snack catcher. 
- He still LOVES to be outside!
- His favorite song to sing before bedtime and naptime is "Row Row Your Boat."
- He loves pancakes, pop tarts, peas, beans, chicken, goldfish, chocolate milk, and juice.  If fact, he will ask for these items often.
- He still loves bathtime!  He has just recently really started to splash.  In fact, the other night Tim said he was going to have to start wearing his swimsuit to bathe him! 
- His vocabulary and understanding of what we say continues to grow daily! 
- He still has no interest in potty training.  We will get there though. 
- He loves to look out the window in his room. 
- He is adjusting to being a big brother.  He wants to know where Kinley is at all times, but he definitely gets jealous. 
- Kinley's baby toys, bouncer, and swing are his probably some of this favorite things to play with right now. 
- We have had to go back to 2 naps (morning and afternoon) due to the fact that he's not sleeping very good at night.  It's made for a much happier little dude.
