Two Month Stats

12/5/09


Time flies when you're busy taking care of two babies! We had Zoe & Silas' two month well baby visit today, and here are the stats!

SILAS
23.25" long (60th percentile)
13 pounds, 1 ounce (79th percentile)
41 cm head circumference



As you can see, the kid is a tank.

We got our first social smile last week, so that was very exciting! The picture below shows a glimmer of that smile... Silas has also discovered his voice. He likes to talk to the animals on his mobile, and he also likes to tell us all about how good his bottle was after his early morning feeding when he is in a particularly chipper mood.



ZOE
21.75" long (24th percentile)
9 pounds, 9 ounces (17th percentile)
38.5 cm head circumference


Zoe is built very differently than her brother. She has long skinny legs and feels like a peanut compared to Silas. He is wearing 3 month clothes now, whereas Zoe is just outgrowing her newborn sizes. She loves to snuggle and they are both as sweet as can be.

Zoe is a very alert, curious baby whose eyes are as big as saucers at times. She is increasingly socially engaging and is working on finding her voice as well.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2
