2 Months Old

Tomorrow, on Mother's Day, Colin will turn two months old! I can't believe how quickly time is going by with this little fella. Caitie is totally in love with him and it's obvious why.

As part of growing up, Colin headed to the doctor on Wednesday for his two month check-up. Here is a list of his current stats:

Length: 23 inches (up from 21.5 inches at 2 weeks); 50th percentile

Weight: 10 pounds 15 ounces (up from 7 pounds 10 ounces at 2 weeks); 25th percentile

The little guy is growing as well as can be expected, and he has started sleeping through the night. I am so blessed to have a great little boy and big girl!

A big day for Caitie

Yesterday was a big day for Caitie at school. First thing in the morning, she competed in the running of the Little Kentucky Derby. This is the cutest event that we do at school. Each of the preschool classes race in heats according to class and gender. The littlest ones race with stick ponies, while the two older grades ride tricycles down the hill.

In the end, everyone is a winner, as they all get a bag of Skittles and a bookmark. But there's always the hope that your little one will win. Caitie won her heat last year, but this year was a little different. You see, she was at a little bit of a disadvantage as she couldn't really reach the pedals, nor could she actually see over the handlebars! Needless to say, she finished next to last. But I was proud of her anyway. Besides, the Headmaster's daughter was in her heat!

Then, the afternoon is a Carnival put on by the Middle Schoolers for the little kids. I have to admit that I was quite happy to not be running a booth this year as I was still on maternity leave. Caitie had a great time with her friend Grace (pictured above) and got lots of candy for her efforts. In fact, she even won a cupcake at the cake walk!
