Two Months

Gavin's 2 month appointment went well. He is 12.1 lbs and 50th percentile in weight, length and head circumference. Right in the middle and that's all right with me!
It's fast approaching time to go through his clothes yet again and get rid of all the 0-3 month outfits, as they typically go up to 12 or 14 lbs. I think Claire wore them until she was at least 6 months old, so this rapid turnover of clothes is unfamiliar to me.

G had a miserable few hours after the vaccinations, but one dose of tylenol seemed to fix him right up. Hopefully he will be OK for our flight today. We're going to FLORIDA!

Claire is beside herself with excitement. I told her the story of our day today, in the hopes of setting ourselves up for a good one:

  • Get up and dressed and eat the favored morning snack of some Kashi hearts, a "new" vitamin (the "new" stuck when I switched types) and a couple of chocolate chips in a bowl to eat in the car!! (yes, chocolate chips...I am not sure how this started, but it gets the job done when trying to hustle out of the door...please don't judge me)
  • Go to school because it is SPORTBALL day!!
  • We'll pick you up and go to the AIRPORT!!
  • We'll have ICE CREAM at the airport!! (Gummy and I are more excited about this than Claire. When in Austin, you must have Amy's ice cream)
  • We'll go on an AIRPLANE!! (Reminded Claire that Gavin has never been on an airplane so she has to show him how to behave.)
  • Who will pick us up at the airport? BABU!!!
  • On the way to Gummy's house, we'll stop for PIZZA! (OK, this suddenly sounds like it is all about questionable food choices..that's not actually the case...back to oatmeal etc tomorrow)
  • Once we get to Gummy's house, a BATH IN THE SINK!!! (Hope she still fits!)
  • Bed in her very special bed in the little nook in Mummy's room. (By the end of the night, all three of us will undoubtedly be in the one bed together - haven't broached the subject that Daddy is not coming to FL until next week.)
So, is this a great day, or what?? We should be quite exhausted by the end of it. While Claire is at sportball, there's the cleaning, packing, laundry, last minute projects, feeding, bathing and changing of self, Gummy and baby before being picked up in 3 hours. (Although Gummy is doing most of the work while I annoy by sitting here typing. Better go.)
