Ben at 2 months and Caroline at 22 months

Ben's 2 month stats:

Weight: 11 lb 1 oz (24%)

Height: 21 1/4 in (1%)

Head: 15 1/2 in (63%)

He's still a little small but is growing wonderfully.  

He often sounds a bit congested after he eats and is sort of gasps a bit while he's eating so the pediatrician ordered a swallow study.  It was really interesting to see how they do it- give a baby a bottle of this chalky white drink (Barium) and then they can watch it go down on a digital x-ray.  Everything looks okay from that but if the congested-ness doesn't go away then we'll probably have to go see the ENT.  

All in all though he's doing really well.  He is gaining weight and sleeps well most nights.  He usually is only waking up once to eat from 10pm-8am. He eats super fast so as long as he goes right back to sleep (which he usually does) then it really is only about a 20-30 minute pause in my sleeping.

He is doing pretty well with his head control and loves tummy time. 

He will fall asleep almost immediately if the car is moving and is also great when I wear him in the ergo or other carrier- as long as I'm moving :)

Is a light boy- he loves looking at lights and is pretty sensitive to changes in lighting.

Knows when mom is nearby and often perks up when he hears my voice.

When he is awake he's often pretty happy just to lay under some toys and kick and squirm around. 

He will sometimes take really great naps in his bed- and sometimes it's even when Caroline is napping.  It's awesome!

Caroline has at least 3 molars. She loves loves loves playing in sand and water- I really want to take her to the beach! She knows how to be naughty to get attention.  Says "um... yeah" quite a bit and has also started saying "pam-pa" for grandma and grandpa.  Every once in a while something intelligible will come out.  She definitely understands most things even if she doesn't say so.  She most often will just nod or shake her head and still signs a bit. She loves swinging and going down slides.  She still likes to look at books and I need to be better about reading to her.  Is learning and growing everyday!
