2 months update! (1 month late! Oops!)

I continually tend to be exactly one month behind on these updates!  Yikes!  Trying to catch up this week because when I get behind, I tend to leave out a lot of details... not good.

At Caroline's 2 month check up, we got a great report!  Little one is perfectly healthy, growing at a faster rate of length than she is wide and I was reminded yet again, just as I am EVERY day, how blessed we are for two healthy children.  Here are the growth stats:

Birth: 7 lb 14 oz.  19 in.
Leave Hospital:  7 lb 5 oz
5 days old: 7 lb 11 oz
2 weeks old: 8 lb 9 oz. 20 in.
1 month old: 9 lb 11 oz
2 months old: 10 lb 13 oz.  22.5 in.

She had to get all sorts of shots a this appointment.  I took this picture after I explained to her exactly what was going to happen - she was less than thrilled.

Later, we got a few cute pics of Park and C-line together...  He LOVES kissing his baby sister.  He calls her all the same pet names we do and he talks to her in a really high pitched voice.  I love it.  He sometimes calls her sweet brother instead of sister - he's still figuring it all out!

Her comparison shot!  1 month and 2 months!

PROUD big brother!

TROUBLESOME TWOSOME

We love it when Parker's best friend, Sienna and her little brother, Dylan, come over to play!  Parker and SiSi (as he calls her) are just TOO cute together.  They love snuggling on the couch together and watching some tv, they LOOOVE playing hide-and-go-seek, and they REALLY love going into quiet dark places and giggling!  T.R.O.U.B.L.E. THESE TWO ARE!  But they are so darn cute! 

A few weeks ago, I found Sisi and Parker in our PITCH BLACK workout room, with the door CLOSED, giggling in this chair together.  They thought they were SMOOTH!  These two crack me up.

 

Amy and I have been pretty good about keeping some updated pictures of them... since we are SO sure they are getting married one day... we need to make sure we have PLENTY of good rehearsal dinner slide show material!   Here is one of their first pictures together!  We met up with A and R at Smokejack's BBQ near our house.  Park and SiSi were so cute together.

Me and Amy with the two love birds at Life Group a few years ago - if I remember right, Parker would have been about 10-11 months old  and SiSi would have been about 3-4 months old.  On a side note, I am HATING whatever was going on with my hair in this stage of my life!

This one was taken in July 2 years ago.  Park would have been a year and 3 months and Sisi would have been 8 months old.

A few months later - the two cuties planning a scheme to get alone together!

OH NOW WE GOT CAUGHT!

At church for trunk or treat.  Park about a year and a half, Sisi almost one year.

The two love birds practicing their "kitchen" duties for the future.  Not sure about the cute lurker in the background... I guess she was chaperoning.  (And I will let you know that Parker will NOT be the type of guy one day to expect to be waited on by his wife - despite what it looks like here!  I'll make sure he's a whiz in the cooking department!)

 At Robin's 30th birthday party this summer, these two were up to no good, as usual!

 Running away from the paparazzi!

 These two can't get privacy ANY where!

Amy found them hiding behind her curtains a few weeks ago (this is Sisi's special hiding place!  And she thought enough of Parker to share it with him!)  I think Parker was MORTIFIED that Ms. Amy found him with his girl in their hiding place!  He's saying, "COME ON!  CAN'T A COUPLE GET SOME ALONE TIME AROUND HERE!?!?!

Bounce House!

 One Saturday morning, we met up with some of the Fab 5 (now turned Sweet 6 with the addition of our friend's adopted son, Ben) at Bounce House in Canton!  We walked in and as I was paying at the counter, Parker DISAPPEARED into thin air - no joke.  So scary how ONE minute he's there and the next he's gone.  He made NO delay in running straight in front of the first bounce house he saw, kicking off his shoes in the middle of the complex and jumping right in!  No shyness here!  

I'm a GREAT mom, by the way!  You can CLEARLY see on this bounce thing in the picture that it says DO NOT ENTER - there were also 2 more signs at the entrance that said for kids NOT to get in this part of the bounce thing.  It was more for kids to stand in front of and throw their basketballs in the hoops!  I got yelled at... oops!

 Park and Alaina loved breaking the rules together!

 Parker and Nate wondering how in the world htey are supposed to get the balls and throw them in the hoops!  Dumb rule.

 Emma Grace going down the slide...

 Poor little Aislynn couldn't make it and our new addition Ben - which makes our group now the Sweet 6 - couldn't come either because his little sister wasn't feeling well. We missed the rest of our little group!
