SNOW!!

Yes, that is SNOW... IN TEXAS!!! I can't believe how much we got, 8 inches!!! Weird huh?! ?! Usually we get an inch at the most and it barely sticks, drying up before morning. Not this time though! It snowed for three days - off and on - and we actually got some accumulation! Enough to even build a REAL snowman! I did not get to partake in the snowman building because I had to stay inside with Max. It was way too cold to take him out. The guys had an awesome time though.

The eyes were Oreos and the nose and mouth were a fruit roll up!!

Jordin loves to hug things.

Jordin's 6 year check up

Jordin had his 6 year check up the same day as Max’s 2 month check up. We killed two birds with one stone :) He hated the idea of Max having to get shot and plugged his ears when he started crying. He had to have a hearing and vision screen, which he passed with flying colors. He also had to have blood drawn to check glucose and cholesterol. He was not happy about it, but he was very brave.

His stats are 45 pds and 44 3/4 inches. Almost 4 feet!

He is learning to read and getting pretty good at it. He loves to count, do activity books, put together Legos and make his little brother laugh!!

Grandma came to visit

My Grandma, who is Jordin's and Max’s great grandma (Gigi), came to visit after I had Max and to help out around the house for three whole weeks. It was amazing!!

Aunt B, Gigi and Max!!

During my grandmas time here she got to spend a lot of time with our family. We enjoyed having her here and hated to see her go :(

Max is Two months old!!

March 8th, 2010 - Max is now 2 months old!!

Milestones achieved so far this month have been:

smiling more often, laughing out loud, batting at objects, grasping a few objects, putting weight on his legs, following objects by moving his head and almost having complete control of his head.

At his 2 month check up, he was 12 pds 13 oz and 24 inches long. He is in the 80% percentile for weight and the 75 percentile for length. He unfortunately had to have shots on this day. It was a rough day for us all.
