2 month check-up...

Finn is doing great....


weight: 12.4 lbs (70% for his age)
height: 24 inches (75% for his age)

He's sleeping like a champ only waking up once (on occasion twice) to nurse (so much better than Miss Ruby). He's smiling and cooing (finally). He blows lots of bubbles which is really just gas coming back up because of his reflux issues. His tear duct is still clogged :( it could take up to a year before it clears up. Casey and I both agree that Finn looks almost identical to Ruby when she was his age....only chubbier :) We're loving being a family of 4!!!

I need to take more photos I'm slacking bad!

Auntie Johnny visits...

Ruby calls Jenna Johnny.... I'm not sure why, but what 2 year old needs a reason for anything they do, right?....


Anyhow Jenna/Johnny came and cooked a fabulous dinner for us and watched the Rooster while I (and Finn) had some dance stuff to go to. Ruby had so much fun! In fact she's still talking about Johnny and all the fun things they did together. Here's a few of the over 30 pictures Ruby and Jenna took together.....


It was absolutely hilarious Ruby would pose and tell Jenna when to take the picture, then she run over to Jenna and say "I see it!".....then she go pose again....and again...and again. She even posed her stuffed animals. Not to mention she had all the different faces down pat....happy, excited, sad....too funny. Thanks Jenna for entertaining her crazy ideas!!!
Oh look Johnny here is my cool slim....
This is her sad face one and yes she placed the stuffed animals on the bench all by herself...
Let's lay our head on the bench....great idea Roo!
Good pose sista....
Johnny thought we needed to highlight the beautiful monogrammed bench that Auntie Johnny got for tiny Ruby....
Ruby placed her animals all in a line and said "how'd about that one"....
Gotta love the 4 sizes too big shoes, animals and don't forget the really pretty slim :)
Happy face....she is such a HAM....


Thanks Auntie Johnny for coming to visit us once a month, we really enjoy your company. You are going to be an amazing mommy someday!

Finn update...

I think we are finally on the up swing....Finn is doing better as far as reflux goes. We now have to deal with his dairy intolerance :( I've been off all dairy for 5 days and we've seen small improvements with his gas issues. We just keep praying that he gets over this hump soon. I was thinking the other night that I have only seen my son smile a handful of times and needless to say I got pretty emotional. It's so difficult trying to rule out all the possible things that could be making a newborn so sad :(

Here's some pictures Caylan captured this morning...



Can you see his birthmark?!
