2 Month Appointment
Here are her stats from her 2 month appt.
13 pounds 7 ounces
23 inches long
She got her yummy tasting Rotovirus vaccine and 3 shots! She was not happy about the shots, but sure gulped down that other one!
We grow them big around here- Jack was 15 pounds and 25 inches at 2 months!
Brandon took the day off so we've been getting stuff done around the house... both kids are now sleeping. Maybe I'll take a nap too!

I'm pretty sure 2 months is a little bit young for rolling over from tummy to back. Well, she's done it 3 times today!

2 Months
Happy 2 Month Birthday, Baby Doll!
At 2 months:
* You eat 6 ounces when you get up in the morning and 4 ounces at a time during the day.
*You can hold your head up by yourself with only a little bit of wobbling
*You hate getting dressed
*You sleep through the night
*You love, love, love taking a bath
*You only take good naps during the day if you are in your swing
*You sleep in your crib at night with no problems!
*You love being "swaddled up"
*You give cute smiles when you want to
*You are always too busy looking around (or screaming if she's hungry/mad) to fall asleep in the car!
*You are getting used to people saying "What beautiful blue eyes! She's so alert for a baby her age!" when they meet you for the first time
*When you get really mad, you actually scream! What must the neighbors think??
*You don't mind being poked and kissed and leaned on and hugged and sometimes smooshed by your big brother
*You have gone from being a rather difficult little diva to a more predictable little princess
*You love your deedee (pacifier) when you are really tired, but don't always want or need it
*You are healthy and happy and content
We love you Emma Lemma Ding Dong, Emma Lem, Lemma, Emmaroo, Lemmers, Doll Face, Baby Doll!
We took Jack down the slide 3 times! He kept begging for more!
I think Brandon was a little petrified on the slide. Notice how he's holding onto Jack!

What we've been up to
This little sweet thing fell asleep at 10 last night and woke up at 6 this morning.
This mischevious one snuck downstairs to play with Daddy's sports stuff.
Jack and his little buddy, Taylor Grace, decorated Emma last Saturday night.
We completed our Mom and Tot tumbling class! He's showing you his sticker.

Random Updates
* I survived my one week trial at being a single mom. Brandon was in Las Vegas for the dealer show and I was home with the kids. Thank god for in-laws and DVR! We made it through just fine, but boy were we glad when Daddy walked in the door!
* The new dishwasher and stove are awesome! Not that I've been cooking much...
* Emma is a chunky monkey just like her brother was! She's already over 12 pounds! She's smiling lots and really starting to coo and make noises other than screaming.
* We have been enjoying our mom and tot tumbling class immensely! Jack still refuses to do the group warm ups- lots of songs and stretching. When it's time to do the actual activities though, he's all over it! His favorite things are the trampoline and the obstacle course. It's so fun to spend that special mom and boy time together. He went to Kung Fu Panda this week with Daddy. He showed him where to get the popcorn, lemonade and the straws. He came home and showed me how to bow and say "master and skidoosh" whatever that's about! We've been taking him to the pricier kids place for haircuts this summer. His hair is so thin, fine, and blond that you can see every scissor cut. So when he gets a bad haircut- you can REALLY tell! Catherine has been doing such a great job with his hair that it's worth the money. This week she said Jack was one of her best behaved customers! He sits so still in the chair and really takes it seriously. He gave her a big hug goodbye when we left!
* Emma has been pretty much sleeping through the night for about a week now. She stopped eating over night right at 6 weeks (just like Jack did) and if she wakes up now, she just needs her pacifier. Last night she was asleep by 10:30 and got up at 5:45. Since she's sleeping so well, how come I'm still so tired in the morning??
* Jack made a trip up to Green Bay with Brandon, Bampa, and Bampa's brother, Bernie on Friday. Jack had a great time doing the Lambeau Leap and scoring some touch downs at the hall of fame. What a big boy adventure he had!
* I have to be at school on August 26th for meetings. I can't believe how this summer has flown by! Actually, I can. Throw a newborn into the mix and the time just speeds on by. I'm excited to get back to school. A few nights ago I couldn't go to sleep until I made a list of all my new ideas for this school year. I'm going to do some work in my classroom this week so it's not crazy during our week of meetings. It's been a great summer hanging out with Jack and Emma, but I can really say that I'm definitely made to be a working mom. We're lucky enough to have 2 very loving grandparents to watch the kids while we're at work. It makes the choice to go back to work that much easier.
Here are some pics of my chunky monkey!
Jack used to make this face!!
I'm watching you, Mom!
Big Stretch! Check out those toned thighs!!!
Here comes Finley!

* Have you seen that show on TLC called Rock the Reception? Love it!
* I can't believe I've failed to mention this-- Emma's hair is totally CURLY after I wash and dry it!!!! I wonder if it'll stay that way....
