August

Hadley:
*2 month check up stats: Weight: 9 pounds 10.5 oz (12%), Height: 1' 10" (29%), Head Circumference: 14.61" (17%)
*Hadley is nursing very well. We have her take a bottle every once in awhile to keep her used to it so I can take a break or for convenience when we are out of the house.
*Sleeps on her own in her crib but prefers to be snuggled in our arms. We are enjoying this now, but know it can only last for a short time.
*She rolled over from tummy to back at 10 weeks. Her head is very stable.
*Hadley likes to be near us and to be able to see what's going on around her. She loves watching her brother.

Parker:
*He started climbing out of crib and opening his bedroom door repeatedly. We had to change his door knob and put a baby proof one on. We switched his crib to a toddler bed with a guard rail. This made a world of difference. Parker loves his bed and stays in, although every once in awhile he will decide to sleep on the carpet next to the door just for fun.
*Parker is really into "big jumps" and does them off of any surface he can. He like to play chase and peek-a-boo.
*He is starting to correct some words he use to say incorrectly such as "banana" and "yogurt"
*He repeats everything and his vocab is taking off.  He says 3 and 4 word sentences.
*Parker is obsessed with Dora the Explorer. He'd watch it all day long if we'd let him.

Other fun things:
Heidi's graduation- We attended Heidi's graduation from Phasician's Assistant School. It was great family time and so fun to celebrate Heidi's completion of the program.

Terhaar's visit- My cousin, Michelle, and her family came out for a two week visit. They stayed at my parents' house, so we were out at Fox Island pretty much every day. The weather was great for paddle boarding and playing in the sand. The little cousins had a great time!

Justin's 30th- To celebrate, we took Justin out to his favorite restaurant with many friends. We also went to a local bar. It was such a fun night out! Justin also got a Traeger smoker grill from many of our family members and we have been using it several times a week.
