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!

Go-To Crockpot Meals

A friend of mine recently purchased a crockpot and is looking for some good recipes. As usual, I am posting my favorites with links here! Slow Cooker Pulled Pork - this is best served with cole slaw on top or on the side. Our favorite is Mann's Rainbow Salad mix, to which we add sliced red onion and diced granny smith apple, dressed with a good store-bought cole slaw dressing. It really takes the pork to another level! Crockpot Refried Beans - I prefer to use black beans instead of pinto beans. You can do a lot with a pot of beans - one of my favorites is quesadillas or baked tostadas with caramelized red onion and cheese of choice. Chicken Verde - so simple, use a jar of Trader Joe's salsa verde and serve over rice. Spaghetti Squash Curry - a great side dish to use in place of rice. Chickpeas in Curried Coconut Broth - need I say more? The last one is delicious but I have no idea where I got the recipe - I don't have a direct link in Pepperplate, so I'm pas...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
