They are adorable together. We got matching PJ's for the two of them, but Emma spilled OJ on hers and Aaron puked on his, so we'll have to do that picture at a later time.

Weekend Fun
Minus all the gross sickness that we've had (bronchitis for the two adults, cold/snot for both kids, fever on and off for Aaron, and I'm still fighting off this ear infection), we had a nice weekend. I made a reversible cape for Emma so she could pretend she was a super hero.

2 Month Checkup
At the pediatrician's office today, my "little" guy weighed 13lb, 15oz (98th %ile) and was 24 1/2 inches long (93rd %ile). Head circumference is 16 inches. He's big!
Poor guy got 2 shots and the rotovirus today, so he's had a rough day. I didn't take a 2-month picture because he was so sad. Maybe tomorrow.

Our "One Thing" for This Weekend
This weekend we're going to work on (1) getting her to nap in her crib, instead of on Mommy, and (2) drink from a bottle of breastmilk. I've already pumped for the morning (10oz!) and saved one back to experiment with today. We tried it but she wasn't very interested -- is it wrong for me to be proud of her for spitting out the bottle nipple?! :) At the moment she is napping in her crib and has been long enough that I could shower, download some pictures, and do this post. We'll see how long it lasts.
Today's pictures!
Emma's outfit today! T-shirt is courtesy of Grandma Snoopingmother, and pants courtesy of Ms. Beth.
Emma's snuggle blanket, thank you Mary from Cincy! It's absolutely gorgeous and adorable.
Oh -- and she's slowing down on the poo. Yesterday she had two big ones in the morning and a small one mid-morning, and nothing else the rest of the day. So far today she had a BIG one at 6:30 this morning and that's it. Hopefully this is an indication of a maturing GI tract and not an indication of the vaccinations moving through her system and then she goes back to 5-6 poos a day later.

2 Month Appointment
It went as well as could be expected. My little girl is up to 10 lb 10 1/2 oz!! I'm so thrilled, she gained 9 oz from last Thursday. She's 22 1/2 inches long, and head circumference is 15 inches. She's at the 50th percentile for height, weight and head circumference -- the pediatrician said that's unusual to be at the same percentile for everything. :) My little over-achiever!
The two shots went... well, as well as possible. She cried, Mommy's heart broke, but then I nursed her and everything was right in the world again. She's asleep on my chest again, and I promised her that we would just cuddle all evening. She's also going to get a warm bath as a way to help her little thighs feel better.
We don't have to go back until 4 months, which is lovely! I'm going to just relax and not weigh her again until we get to 3 months (and maybe not even then).
Once I can reach the camera, I'll download the video for today. :)

Big Day!
This is going to be a big day for Emma. We go for our 2-month appointment at 1:45 this afternoon, and she's getting her first set of vaccinations. I'm already sad, thinking about that big needle going into her (twice), but hopefully it will protect her in the long run.
We've had a couple of new things that I haven't blogged about yet. We started using sign language with Emma this week. We've shown her "kiss," "milk," "pee," "poop," "diaper," and "thank you." I think she recognizes "kiss" with the word and the action, but not the rest yet.
Also, today Mommy showered without Daddy home! Yup -- I rocked her to sleep, then sloooooowly transferred her to the bouncer in the bathroom, and had our little bear set to the "rain" sound. Then I turned on the shower and watched to make sure she stayed asleep, and got to shower. I made it all the way through the shower, clean clothes on, and even brushed my teeth before she got restless and woke up. Yay! That's a BIG move, to sleep somewhere other than on Mommy or Daddy for more than a few minutes at a time.
Depending on how upset she is when we get home, I'll update about the pediatrician appointment and try to get a video uploaded that I took this morning.

Trial and Error
This weekend, I decided that I would try and re-introduce some dairy into my diet and see how it affects Emma. In support of my efforts, Daddy talked me into ordering "good" pizza last night (instead of just heating up what we had in the freezer) and adding extra cheese. We figured that we might as well make it worth it!
Well, so far so good. She hasn't been extra gassy or extra fussy today, and her bottom looks ok. I'm sure that one meal of dairy isn't going to give us a long-term understanding of how it affects her, so we'll do something with cheese or milk again today and see how that goes.
We did have somewhat of a rough night, only because our Kawaii Baby One-Size diapers leaked. Emma likes to sleep on her side against Mommy, and either we're not putting them on correctly or her thighs aren't big enough, because while nursing, she peed and got her nightie, the bed, and Mommy wet. And that happened twice. We double-stuff the diapers because single stuffing seemed like there was too much room around the leg gussets, and still it did this. I'm not sure what we're doing wrong but we love those diapers otherwise.
In any case, she had to have a clothing change TWICE, and that woke her up and it took a bit for her to get to sleep. Then this morning, instead of her normal 2-hour nap, she had two mini-naps of 45 minutes each... just not enough. We were a bit cranky! After some nursing and rocking, and our bear that makes noise, she finally went down for a good nap -- in fact, she was so tired, she let me put her down in the pack-n-play! That's where she is right now, going on 45 minutes of sleep and appears to be still quite out.
Uh-oh.... the bear turned off and we woke up! Better post these quickly...

2 months old!
Today Emma is 2 months old! Some milestones...
* In double-digits for weight
* Can hold her head up by herself
* Can lift her torso when on her belly (although not for long)
* Has a sleep routine
* Smiling and laughing in response to Mommy & Daddy
* Tracks moving objects with eyes
* Recognizes her name and the word "kiss"
* Rolls onto her side from her back
Contemplating Mommy taking a picture.
The camera bores me!
