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!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...
