We are nearing the end of October, and this is my last month off of work, so we've really been trying to enjoy every last day! This month has been filled with laughter, kisses, fun outings with cousins, and play time at home. My babies are growing before my eyes and changing so much with every day that passes. And they are too cute for words!
I'm about a week late, but Mya is officially 2 months old, and the time is just flying! Here are her stats as of her 2 month doctor visit:
2 Months
9 pounds, 6 ounces
22 inches
Mya is growing pretty well these days... nearing the 50% for both height and weight. She is having some trouble with reflux from time to time, and decides to projectile vomit entire feedings...but hopefully that will resolve sooner than later! It's crazy to me that she is more than 2 pounds lighter than Cayden was at this point! She's gonna be my petite, feisty little thing! These days, Mya is smiling a ton, lifting her head really well on her belly, and trying so hard to talk and tell us stories! She sleeps pretty well through the night, upstairs in her own room, waking usually only once through the night. We did a photo shoot with Meme today and here are some of the best shots!
One of those precious smiles I was talking about!
This is Mya's "Baby." She loves this little doll, smiling and coo-ing to her whenever she's in sight! Mya is a very smiley baby, and her big brother is the absolute best at making her laugh! He talks to her and tickles her and her face just lights up...and I love watching my two smiling together - I hope they always will.
I think Mya's face here reads, "Are we done yet?" She's Beautiful :-)
And while we're here, we MUST talk about Cayden. He is 27 months now, and he absolutely amazes me! He is talking in full sentences (that for the most part we can actually understand!!), and he is in the "let's repeat everything I hear" stage...Uh-Oh! Cyle and I really have to watch what we say around this little sponge, because before we know it he's walking around saying "Oh Crap." And sometimes worse! Now I don't want to offend anyone here, I'm simply writing the following so I can look back and laugh someday... When Cyle realized that Cayden wanted to be just like Daddy, and would imitate things that he said, Cyle thought it would be funny to see if Cayden would repeat something naughty. Well it only took one time of Cyle asking Cayden to say "Right on, big tits" before Cayden was answering my questions with this phrase, and even saying it to strangers AND his physical therapist!! UGH!! As hilarious as it is when he says it (I know, I'm bad), it is VERY embarrassing!! I made Cyle have a talk with Cayden about how those were bad words, and not to say it anymore, and I made Cyle vow to me never to teach him to say things like that again! He thinks it's funny, but 9 times out of 10 it's me that's with Cayden out in public when he says it, and me who has to experience the embarrassment! But I do want to put it here in my memory log, to tell Cayden about when he's 20 - I think he might get a kick out of it!
Anyway...other than talking constantly, Cayden is doing very well with therapy, has no fractures for 7 months now, and checked out well at his 2 year doctor appointment (31 pounds and 33 inches). He is getting more independent and helpful everyday, he loves to play with other kids but is absolutely content playing alone as well. He calls everyone "friend" - says "Hi friends" when we're out in public, and even beckons strangers to "Watch this, friends" when he has something to show them! He makes me smile. He can spell his name and count to 10 too!! He's gonna be a smart one! Here's a picture of my big boy with his new best friend, Diego!
