I honestly don't know where the time goes, but our little girl is now 2 months old (was last Saturday). She had her first immunizations yesterday morning and did really well. She cried as soon as the pokes went in, but was easily distracted and calmed down quickly with the ringing of a bell. What a trooper... two needles in the left leg and one in the right. I really hate hearing that pain cry... it's very different from any other cry!! She is growing quickly, well weight wise anyway. She is now 10 lbs. 5 oz. (25th-50th percentile) but is only 21 1/4" long (10th percentile). Hmm, I wonder when a big growth spurt will hit and she'll grow a bit longer!! Colby was always on the high end of the scale... I guess it's one more reminder how every child is so different and truly an individual. Jenna is similar to Colby, but different in many ways too. The major similarity is their fussiness in the evenings. Jenna gets most of her napping in throughout the day and is quite fussy in the evenings, just as Colby was. Good thing Gerry is home to help at nights! She is quite a serious little girl, just like Colby was a serious little boy. While she is smiling a bit more often now, it takes a lot to get a little grin. So needless to say, I treasure whenever I see them!! Hopefully they'll come more readily soon! She absolutely hates going into her car seat, which Colby didn't mind. While she usually falls asleep after a few minutes, she makes it very known that it's not her favorite place to be!! Jenna is becoming quite a strong little girl and does very well holding her head up and still enjoys tummy time. She's lifting her head up on her tummy as well. Most of all, she looks adorable in pink! Mommy is really enjoying all of the pink in her wardrobe! :)
This morning was the registration at the Tri Leisure Centre for the Winter and Spring sessions. I knew it would be busy, so we got there a bit early and walked up to a very long line-up waiting for registration to begin. The line up did move pretty quickly once it got going and Colby did really well in the stroller. He is registered for "I'm Big Enough For Preschool" every Tuesday morning beginning in January. It's a one-hour per week program for 2-3 year olds. I hope he'll enjoy it! He is also registered for swimming lessons every Friday night beginning in January. Gerry and I will alternate taking him, but I think he's going to enjoy the lessons again. He really likes going swimming, but it has been a while since his last set of lessons. After the wait, we went to the playgym at the Tri for Colby to run and play with the toys. He loves going to the "paygym" and asks to go there regularly. :)
I am trying to get things organized for Colby's birthday party next weekend. I can't believe our little baby is going to be 2 already!! We're having family and friends over for dinner on Saturday night. It should be a fun (and busy) time with all of the kids coming! :)
Hope you're having a great week!
