Maddox & Kinley's First Baseball Game: Go Memphis Redbirds!

Happy Birthday Maddox: 2 Years Old!

Maddox and Kinley's Well Visit

Maddox and Kinley had their well visit on August 19, 2010 (which is also Maddox's birthday!) It was Maddox's 2 year checkup and Kinley's 2 month checkup (although she was actually 10 weeks old at the time of her checkup).

Maddox weighed 27 lbs and is 34 inches tall. Kinley weighed 10 lbs 6 oz and is 22 inches long. Dr. H doesn't hear Maddox's heart murmur any longer, either - which is great news! Both checked out healthy and growing. Dr. H also mentioned how many words Maddox knows and says so clearly for being only 2. I was a proud mommy. It is a little funny to me that Maddox talked enough in the short time he was with Dr. H for him to notice how big of a vocabulary Maddox has indeed. If he only knew the entire extent of it!

Kinley is holding her head up great. She smiles all the time! She is a very sweet girl. She is only eating 24 oz of milk per day right now; so Dr. H didn't think we needed to start her on cereal yet. Maybe in another 4-5 weeks she will be ready to start some cereal and baby food. We'll see. I'm in no hurry for her to grow up!

Maddox was so brave when he got his finger stuck (they had to draw blood) - he got a sucker at the doctor's office. I also let him open an early birthday gift.

Kinley - 2 Months

We don't have Kinley's 2 month appointment until August 19th. Dr. H is out of town this week, and I figured since the 10th is so close to Maddox's 2 year checkup, we could just do them both at the same time! So, I don't have the official weight and length, but I did weigh her the other day, and she is just over 10 lbs. We should be moving to Stage 1 diapers when we run out of the current pack of newborn diapers we have.

Kinley is staying awake for longer periods of time during the day. Smiling all the time, especially at Mommy.

She eats about every 3-4 hours during the day, and is sleeping through the night now, which is amazing timing since I just went back to work this week. Normally, the last feeding of the night is around 10:00PM, and then she'll sleep until between 6:30-7:00AM. Such a good baby!!

Kinley is a pacifier baby. She loves her paci, and it's amazing how quickly she is soothed by being wrapped up tightly in a blanket and given her paci! She LOVES to be warm and is happiest when she is laying on her belly on Mommy's chest all snuggled up in a blanket.

She is still wearing most of her newborn clothes, but I have been dressing her in some 0-3 month clothes lately and they fit! There is only one kind of sock that really fits her feet - she has skinny feet!!

She seems to recognize voices. If Mommy or Daddy walk into the room talking, she'll turn her head or eyes toward our voices.

People tell us everywhere we go what a beautiful baby girl you. I must admit - we agree whole heartedly!!
