The Check-ups

Mommy was a little crazy and booked CJ's 2 week check-up at the same time as Mia's 2 year check-up. We all survived, thanks to some very nice nurses.

Here are the stats:

Mia

Weight - 25 lbs (28th percentile, +3lbs 10 oz from 18 mo appt)
Head Circumference - 18 1/2" (36th percentile)

CJ
Height - 21" (57th percentile, +1 inch from birth)
Weight - 8 lbs 14 oz (50th percentile, +15 oz from birth)
Head Circumference - 14 1/2" (39th percentile)

Birthday Presents

Here are some shots of Mia opening and playing with various birthday presents. She definitely had a great time with her birthday this year.

Happy 2nd Birthday Mia!

Two years ago today...

And today...

Bonding Time

Mia loves being a big sister. She wants to hug and kiss and take care of Christopher all the time. She gets a little frustrated with Mom and Dad when we try to tell her that he can't walk or crawl or even hold his own toys yet. Mia seems to accepted these "faults" of her brother's and now asks if Christopher can have tummy time so they can cuddle and lie together on the floor. Mia is a great big sister.

Rainstorm

We had the most unbelievable downpour today and our whole street flooded. These are pictures from the yard between ours and our neighbor's house, the street right in front of our house, and the stairs at the end of our street from the local elementary school baseball/soccer fields.

Neighborhood Bonding

We are very lucky to have some great families that live on our street including lots of kids for Mia and CJ to play with. This is a typical evening when the kids get together to play in the front yard.

Sidewalk chalk is always a favorite.

As well as ring-around-the-rosie (or tree in this case).
