2 Months

We went in for Jimmy's 2 month check up today. He's measuring 20.75 in and weighing in at 8lbs, 1.5oz. He's in NB clothes (though not for much longer) and size 1 diapers. He's doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing developmentally (if you remember that he's technically still a 'newborn'). He has at least one good period of awake time during the day (usually in the afternoon or evening). Evelyn loves to hold his hand while he has floor time and will lay on her belly next to him while he has tummy time. She is a very good big sister-- she's very helpful at home and is proving herself to be good at following directions when we're out and about now that I don't have two hands to keep her in line with :P She likes to bring Jimmy pacifiers when he cries and she says "Bless you!" no matter what sound he makes (coughs, sneezes, burps, farts, etc). She rocks his rocker when he cries and I'm not in arm's reach, and she talks to him in the car if he starts crying. I'm so proud of her :)

We're adjusting well now-- we're starting to figure out routines, but we're not back to being fully functional yet. I am very glad Evelyn still takes a good nap in the afternoon or I would get almost nothing done :-/ But we have worked out a routine at night that allows us to all get a decent amount of sleep, which is great. And I've even done a couple of solo outings with both kids by myself. There are still some routines that are a little much for me to do alone (like bathtime and bedtime), but we'll figure them out, just like we did with Evelyn :)
