Makena sleeping on mommy. Wow! I've been slacking big time. Sorry about that. Well, yesterday MaKena had her 2 month check-up. It's hard to believe she's 9 weeks already. Where does the time go. At her apt we found out that little Miss MaKena isn't so little. She weighs 12 lbs and is 23 1/4 inches. Her head was 40.8 cm. She also got 3 shots in her legs and one oral shot. This was the part Lane and I were dreading. But she did great. She cried but once I picked her up she calmed down. So far she hasn't had any bad side effects. Her next apt is April 22nd. Besides growing, MaKena has also been smiling a lot more and talking away. If only I knew what those cute baby sounds meant! I just love it when she wakes up in the morning or from a nap and you pick her up and she has this big smile on her face and all you see is a mouth full of gums. I love it! It's going to be hard to send her off to daycare.
We had another big milestone at the Huseby house. 2 weeks ago today MaKena was moved out of mommy and daddy's room and down into her own room. This was a little hard for me the first night. I worried that I wouldn't hear her. Boy was I wrong. It's amazing how well those baby monitors work! We have the monitor plugged in out in the living room because we can hear every breath she takes. It's worse than having her sleep in our room! She is doing great and Jacob loves having someone else sleep downstairs with him. Jacob still loves having a baby sister. He loves to hold her and talk to her. When he comes home from daycare the first thing he'll ask is if he can holder her. He's such a good big brother.
I've thought about starting a blog for Jacob but I think I'll just talk about him and the rest of us in this blog. Even though it's called "girl talk" we'll do a little boy talk from time to time too. Last week Lane and I went to Jacob's conferences at school. For those of you who don't know, Jacob is a first grader. Well, I never worry when I go to his conferences. We were told that Jacob is a wonderful student. His teacher tells us that she thinks he could run the class when she is gone. She always tells the substitute teachers to ask Jacob if they have any questions about the daily routine. That doesn't surprise me! He just loves school. He also is meeting all the expectations and going above where he should be for his age. Lane and I are so proud of him. It's nice to be told such wonderful things about your child. Well I think I've rambled on long enough! Hope you enjoy the pictures. Have a great weekend!
