2 Year Doctor Visit

Today we went to see Dr. Goodman for Christian's 2 year appointment. First let me say it is NOT easy holding his hand, holding Gabriel's carseat, and the diaper bag all while walking into a building, getting in the elevator, and going to the doctor's office. I must have lost 10 pounds doing all that!

Back to the appointment....

He is doing great, growing perfectly, and hitting all his milestones! He is a whopping 31 pounds, is exactly 36 inches tall, and his head is almost 21 inches (thanks to daddy). I filled out a profile for signs of autism (standard form) and his doctor said there is nothing from that to be concerned about, so yay! He did have to get 2 shots and his finger pricked to test for lead. He hated his shots, and looked so brokenhearted! I got teary eyed, as I always do.

Next week is Gabriel's 2 month appointment, then the week after that we move back home to New Orleans!!

First blog post!

Well, blogging is a new world to me. But my dear friend Katie has a family blog which allows everyone to keep up with them since they've moved far far away. Since many of my friends and family are away from us, I thought it would be great to do the same! So I stole it, thanks Katie! hahaha

As it stands right now, we are currently living in Gulfport, MS, but our house in under contract and we are in the process of moving back to Louisiana! Yay! We will either be in Lakeview or Metairie, and Danny is back working in Avondale at Northrup Grumman. Christian is THRILLED to be living with his daddy again, he can't wait! It's really hard being here with the two boys by myself, but it's manageable.

Christian is getting so big so fast. He turned 2 on April 13, and he amazes me everyday. He is starting to speak more and more, and is curious about everything! Gabriel is growing like a weed, eating constantly and sleeping alot, except for at night. Yes, I am sleep deprived! But I know it will get better soon. He is just making up for being over 3 weeks early, that's alot of growing he missed out on! He actually smiled on purpose for the first time yesterday, and it melted my heart. I tried to get a picture, but I was too slow. Oh well, better luck next time!
