2 Month Check-up

We had their 2 month check-up this morning and they are both doing really well both physically and developmentally. They got their first round of shots and seem to be handling them pretty well so far. We'll see how the next couple days go though. Here are their stats...

Addison-----Caroline
7 pounds 13 ounces-----8 pounds 13 ounces
20 inches-----20.5 inches
35.5 head circumference -----36.5 head circumference

Overnight I feel like they have grown little personalities. Words that people have used to describe them are animated and charismatic. We wondered if they would act similar to how they were when I was pregnant with them and it does seem to translate. Addison tends to be quiet and calm while Caroline can be dramatic and makes her presence known. Caroline is a bit more ahead than Addison so she already has many little sounds that she makes. Here are 2 videos of her being vocal. The second video gets a bit shaky because I am holding Addison.

A question a lot of parents get with babies this age is "how are they sleeping?" Well, I am happy to report that they are sleeping pretty well. Last night they actually slept from 11:30 pm to 7 am. That was not totally interrupted though. They do still need to get their pacifiers periodically during the night but I'm ok with that. Scott and I have both seen Caroline with her hand close to her mouth like she is about to suck her thumb so we will see what happens with that.
