Now that I have four kids it seems as though the vital stats slip out of my brain even more quickly than they used to - therefore before I get to our little Citizen of the Month I have to go over the important info from Elizabeth's 2 month check up.

She is growing perfectly - 11 lbs 15 ounces and 23 1/2 inches - both height and weight are in the 75th percentile. Everyone knows my 12 pound baby theory - that's when the big sleep starts happening. Lizzie isn't a bad sleeper - she gives us 4-6 hours per night right now but a big sleep is even better - I'm talking 8-10 hours per night. Her eczema is somewhat worse and so we are going to wean her off of breastmilk and try a pre-digested soy based formula for now. Now that nursing is going well I am unbelievably disappointed that I have to stop but eczema can become a serious issue so we have to do it.

Peter also got checked out because of some medication he takes and he is 79 pounds (he lost 3 pounds and the limit for car seats is 80 pounds - I had a moment of wondering if we have to put him back in a car seat but we vetoed that idea) and 57 1/2 inches. He is well over the 100th percentile and the doctor thinks he will continue to be a fast growing kid and be well over 6 feet when he is done with puberty. Speaking of which - the doctor also mentioned that puberty is right on the horizon - most boys, due to the hormones in milk and other environmental factors - start real puberty at 9 or 10 - ugggg - I'm not ready for that!

Our sleepy little angel!

What a beauty!

Molly girl waiting to be called up for Citizen of the Month award!

Annie wanted a picture and gave me a big smile!

Molly is citizen of the month!

The pictures always come out dark in the auditorium but needless to say Molly did a wonderful job.

We are so proud of Molly - Auntie Brigid and Uncle Joe (Molly's godparents) came over with a dozen roses for her because they were so proud of her. What a lucky girl!

Leaving the stage after her award!

Annie can not wait to go to school - she was like a social butterfly at the school waling around talking to everyone!

Grammy, Papa and Kk all came to see Molly get her award!

Daddy and his girl!

Grammy and Papa with their oldest granddaughter - the Citizen of the Month!

Lizzie thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony - she slept!

Molly wearing her Griffith Academy windsuit on her way to Irish Step Dancing. Abby was able to come home from dance class with us and then we all went out to On the Border (thanks to a gift card I got for my birthday in August - yikes!) We had a blast and when we came home the girls had fun playing together and having fun in the playroom - they even took a tubby together and Annie ended up joining them.

Tomorrow is Lizzie's big day - her baptism will take place at 4:30 mass and we can't wait for her to officially be the newest Catholic!

GNM - ILY!
