2/3 Month Check-Up

Baby Sister went for her two month check-up a couple of days ago (even though she's three months, that's the way it is with one pediatrician for an entire base). She is doing everything she's supposed to, and then some. After the nurse did all of her stuff, the doctor came in and checked her out and told me that I could start her on cereal. I said, "really?" He said, "Sure, she's almost four months old, right?" I told him that she would be three months the next day. He said, "In that case, she is doing extremely well for her age." He told me I had a perfect baby. Seriously, he did. I told him I that I thought so too.

It looks like Nathan won't be calling Kathryn his little sister, but instead he'll have to call her his younger sister. She is 24 inches long, which is 88th percentile. She's also 12 lb 12 oz, which is 84th percentile. Only once in Nathan's life has he ever made it to just the 50th percentile, and that was for weight. He's hovered around the 25 or below percentile his whole life. Baby Sister is a big gal. That just means there's more of her to love!

She also had to have five shots. It was awful. I could have easily matched her screams and cries as she was getting stabbed repeatedly in her plump little thighs. This picture is so sad with the band-aids on her legs.

While I'm tugging at your heart strings, this was Nathan after Paw-Paw and Lady hung up on him after Skyping for over an hour. He just wasn't quite ready to end the conversation. He kept saying, "Call them back. I don't want them to hang up." He was having too much fun entertaining them with his mad dancing and singing skills, and chatting about everything that popped in his head. I mean, he talked nonstop for over an hour. He definitely doesn't have a shortage of things to talk about.
He cried for a minute, then I asked him if he wanted to go swimming and everything was immediately okay.
We have to take advantage of all the hotel amenities because we'll be back home this weekend.
Baby Sister had a good time at the pool too. Nathan was a bit concerned that Baby Sister didn't have any swimming trunks. He told me that I need to go buy her some.
