A few October Pictures

Lily had her 2 month appointment last Tuesday.  She is off the charts for height and weight, measuring up to just over 24″ and a little over 13 lbs.  She’s happy and healthy.  She’s been rolling from front to back like a champ and when put on her tummy she pushes up and lifts her head nice and high.  Her little feet are already pushing, too, as she tries to scooch up into a crawling position.  She’s not there yet, but Lily is definitely a girl of action.

She had her DTAP (or is it the TDAP?) vaccinations and I will admit that I stress about these things.  I’ve read the horror stories about parents who have a healthy, happy child who is suddenly fussy, unconsolable and in some cases ultimately diagnosed with autism after having been given a vaccination.  Is this myth?  I don’t know, but things like multi-dose vaccinations and all of the shots freak me out a little…  particularly when faced with an extremely happy, smiley baby who is suddenly crying unconsolably for 20 or 30 minutes at a time.

That was Tuesday.  Wednesday is when she really melted down, although she seems fine now.  She looked tired and her color was off yesterday, but by bed time she was back to her old (new) self.

K, my son, was never a cuddly kid.  Well, I take that back.  He was VERY cuddly, but he never fit into one of those snugglies.  M, my daughter, would have LOVED the snuggly thing, but she was so small and cute that my wife and I just carried her everywhere.  Lily is big and cuddly, and she seems to like the snuggly carrier thing.  Whatever, as long as I don’t have to use it!
