Status Check

Monkey is 2 months old today, which makes Turkey 7 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 1 day (it's easy to figure out Turkey's exact age, because he is 7 years and 15 days older than Monkey).

So with that being said, I thought I would post a status check on "the boys".

Monkey is one of the happiest babies around, everyday I look at him and think "so this is what it's like when they don't have colic".  (Turkey had colic, it was terrible.)  Monkey is still exclusively breastfed, which I am very proud of.  Not once has he had formula.  He is starting to get into a great routine with 3 good naps a day, and sleeping most of the night (he goes down around 7pm and is up around 2am and then again at 6am for the day).  His favorite toys are his mobiles, he loves them.  Seriously.  He totally geeks out at them.  He's babbling and drooling and eating his hands.  At his check-up earlier this week he was 11 lbs. 4oz and 23.5 inches.

Turkey is Turkey.  He is an amazing big brother, better than I could have ever hoped for. School is well school; we'll leave it at that.  Thankfully he has the most amazing teacher.  This favorite toys are things he can build with and battle with.  Legos, Army Men, and K'Nex.  Especially the K'Nex because you can build guns and grenade launchers and battle with them.  His bike riding is coming along nicely this year, but he desperately needs a new bike (he's gotten so tall).  I think this may be the summer the training wheels come off.  He errand his Tiger Cub rank in Cub Scouts a few months back (and his parents have signed up to be his den leader in the fall for Wolf Scouts).  Lastly, he is itching to get out and go fishing.  At last check he's around 52 inches tall and 70 lbs.  Still no loose teeth, but the dentist assures us they will come out in due time (something about having nice long strong roots).


And in case you're wondering, Husband and I are doing great.  Just taking it all one day at a time.
