Two Months Old!

Today is the babies' two month birthday! To celebrate we went into the office for a while, then to the doctor for their first round of immunizations. :-(

They weren't very happy about the shots, but they've gotten over it now and are sleeping peacefully. James especially needed a lot of extra Mommy cuddling when we got through, and they've both had some Tylenol for their sore little legs.

We got great news at weighing time... Kathryn is up to 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long, and James is 8 pounds 3 ounces and 20 3/4 inches long! They're just barely onto the growth curve for two-month babies, but they're right around the 50th percentile line for full term newborns (their adjusted age). Also, their weight, length, and head circumference are all catching up to "normal" -- that is, they're not only growing well, they're getting closer and closer to where they should be for their (actual, not adjusted) age. It's hard to tell yet where they'll be developmentally, as there isn't much they're even supposed to be doing yet, but they are doing well with their tummy time and picking their heads up, and they're focusing on things more and more with their eyes, even turning their heads to look at something making noise alongside them.

I have started a Month 3 page in the online photo album. Just a few pictures in there from this morning, but plenty more to come throughout the month.
