For those who didn’t get the flood of Instagram pictures of us on Facebook…

Playing in Hunter’s room.

😀

These make me smile.  🙂

If Adalyn is smiling and not looking at the camera, it’s a safe bet that she is watching Tangled.  She ADORES that movie.  Tonight, she quoted more lines from the script than Mommy or Daddy thought she knew.  Daddy then proceeded to “sing” another song and she quickly said, “Noooo Daddy, that’s Cinderella…”  Then she proceeded to sing the song Daddy started.  Love this little stinker!

Hunter had his two month pediatric check up last week.  Unfortunately, with this visit came shots.  The little guy initially reacted as you would expect, crying briefly until being held and comforted by mommy.  But all-in-all he seemed fine afterward.  On the ride home he even fell asleep.  Adalyn went with mommy to the doctor’s visit and was an angel as well.  The worst wouldn’t happen until after they all got home and Hunter woke up.  He was inconsolable.  He appeared to be in a lot of pain and didn’t want anything to do with a bottle, a SURE sign something wasn’t right.  Kayla immediately called the doctor and was advised that this is “normal” and that some kids have mild reactions to the shots but that it would all go away soon.  Kayla called me at work and let me know what was going on.  I could hear Hunter crying in the background.  I immediately left work to come and help but by the time I got there Hunter seemed to have calmed down.  He was sleeping good by then but I could tell Kayla had a hard time getting him that way.  Luckily Hunter’s mood only improved and by the next morning he was back to his happy mellow self again. Adalyn has always taken shots like a champ.  As a matter of fact, the last series of shots she got, she didn’t even cry?!  It was shocking to see Hunter so uncomfortable.  Especially since we weren’t used to shots having this kind of effect.  Just goes to show how each kid is different.  But, at the same time, it really keeps things interesting!  🙂

Hunter is two months old!  We’re so proud of this little stinker.  He’s growing like a champ (90th percentile last check up) and Mommy and Daddy get excited every time we get to witness him hit a new development milestone.  Hunter is sleeping on average about 5 hours at night, giving Mommy the extra sleep she needs.  He’s cooing and giving us smiles and certainly…”reacts”…every time his sister comes near him to give him a kiss on the cheek.  We are scheduled to go in for his pediatric 2 month check up tomorrow where we’re expecting nothing but good news.  We just love this little guy to pieces.
