Well Children

Today I brought Sydney Kaye for her two month checkup and Jack for his three year checkup. After two and a half hours in the doctor's office (by myself, too...whew!) we were out with a clean bill of health for both of them!

Here are the stats:

Sydney Kaye:



11 lbs, 10 oz: 75%
22 1/2 inches long: 50%

At two months, Sydney is...

1. Sleeping even better at night. Only up one time, and a couple of nights ago she even made it 7 hours! Usually, she sleeps one five or six hour stretch, eats, then sleeps another four hours.

2. Looking around and focusing on things.

3. Smiling occasionally.

Developmentally, she is a little behind, but Dr. Clark said not to worry! He examined her and said that she is still displaying a few premature baby tendencies, and it may take her a few months to catch up! She did well with her shots...her face turned bright red and her birthmark turned purple, but she only cried a couple of minutes. I really thought Jack would be more concerned than he actually was! He played with the toys in the exam room and never even looked up while she screamed! What a brother...

This is the only place she was happy this afternoon after her shots. You can see her band-aids on her roly-poly thighs!


Dean Jackson:



36" tall: 90% (which is hard to believe because he is shorter than most of his friends)
29 lbs: 50%

Jack is developmentally right on track. He talks our head off and his speech is very easy to understand. He knows all of his colors, shapes, numbers, and many letters. He has great hand-eye coordination and excellent balance!

We are very blessed with two healthy children! Thank you, Jesus!
