Lu weighs in

Lu had her 2 month check up yesterday. Fat babies seem to be content babies. She weighs 12 lbs. and is 21 3/4 in. long. That is 75th percentile in weight and 25th in height. she is healthy, and very content, indeed! She sleeps a 6-7 hour stretch each night, which I didn't even know was POSSIBLE at 2 months, but I'm not complaining!
Here's a picture of her chubby cheeks.

Here are a few pictures of Elsa and Gibson playing with playdough. I've found that I can usually get a good hour's worth of minimal fighting with playdough. First, we make it, then I let them mix in their own colors, then i pull out the rolling pins and my collection of cookie cutters, and they play pretty happily. These pictures are from a few days ago, but it is something we do almost weekly. click here to get to the recipe we use for homemade playdough. We use the recipe for colored playdough. We have had a lot of success with it. We make a single batch, divide it in two, and let them add the colors. It makes plenty for us.


And here is a video clip of Lu. We have been trying to get her cooing on video, but haven't been too successful yet, as you can see. Please ignore the crazy adults talking :).
