Random Miscellaneous Information

As the above title states, this post is going to be full of random info. Karys is officially two months old (actually that happened last Tuesday, but I forgot to mention it on previous posts). Today was her appointment with the doctor (where she also had to get her first round of shots :( She weighed in at 11 lbs. 2 oz (47th percentile). That means that since we last went to the doctor 5 weeks ago she's added almost 2 pounds to herself (only 4 oz. away from a full two pounds). She didn't grow quite as much this time. (22 1/2 inches...last time she was 22 inches.) She's now in the 43rd percentile for height. Her head circumference was 15.25". I don't remember what it was last time--the important thing is that she's in the 39th percentile which all together means that she's growing proportionally. She had to have 3 shots today and one oral vaccine. She did really well for her shots. When she was given the first one she had a delayed reaction. It seemed to take her a second to realize that what just happened hurt. Poor baby. But when it was all over with she recovered very quickly (finishing her bottle helped too!).

I took this picture this morning, especially for my mom. She bought this outfit for Karys on Saturday when we went shopping at Kohl's.
On Sunday we all ended up wearing blue, so after we got home we took a family picture (since our last one was taken the day we left the hospital!), so here it is for your viewing pleasure:Oh, this is Karys's latest self-soother (so much for the pacifier!):And finally, she discovered her hand on Monday. She's only done what she did once but it was cute nonetheless. She was laying on the floor doing all the moving that she does with her hands and feet and her right hand passed in front of her face and she took notice of it. She stared intently as she moved her wrist very slowly back and forth. We caught it on video, but it's on the video camera (that seems to make files that are too big). I'll try that another day.

We always end up coordinating on Sunday's too. I think it has to do with the fact that I pick out clothes for everyone on that day . . . I've heard you tend to pick colors according to your mood too . . . who knows! All that to say: CUTE Pics!

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
