Baby Update!

Makenna is getting bigger and bigger.  At her 2 month check up she was 12 pounds 4 ounces and 21 1/2 inches.  This put her in the 75th percentile! The highest Noah ever was...was the 25th percentile! lol.  She is still a pretty good baby.  I feel bad because she always seems to be gassy.  Hopefully as she gets older her stomach will get stronger and she will be able to handle milk better.  Her 2nd month was spent just getting bigger.  She did smile a lot more and laughed a couple of times.  At two months Daddy was the first to make her laugh.  There was something that happened ONCE and then never again, but was pretty cool.  My mom and brother Jeff were talking to her and they kept saying "Hiii,"  "Hii,"  to her....well sure enough if she did not say "Hiiii" right back.  I am not joking at two months old! lol  If I did not have them as witnesses I don't think anybody would have believed me.  Of course she has never even come close to doing something like that again, but I think she said her first word at two months old! lol She also started wanting to be standing on her feet a bit more.

At three months she started reaching for toys and trying to put toys and her blankets in her mouth. :)  She is always sucking on her hands and is already a slobber bucket just like her brother was.  She is a joy! Here's her three month shot and then one of her helping daddy with homework.

 Noah is doing good too.  He helps me with his sister by playing with her and talking to her.  He thinks in order to talk to Makenna he has to be as close to her face as possible though.  And he is often pulling on her arms and hands a bit rougher than I would like.  But she is a trooper and tries to get him back...take a look. She is already holding her own! :) ha ha

Noah is learning more every day and talking even more too.  The other day he told me, "Mom I love you so much."  It warmed my heart.  He has recently learned what the words man, woman, boy, and girl mean.  And he is such a trickster.  With a mischievous smile he says mom, you are a man and daddy's a woman.  Then he laughs because he knows he got it wrong. He jokes with things like that all of the time.  He is a sweet kid who loves to joke around.

It is soo hard trying to get pictures of them both looking at the camera and smiling.  Hopefully for Christmas cards we will be able to get at least one!  I love my children sooo much!
