Taylor had her two month doctor appointment earlier this week and everything went great! She weighed 10 pounds and 10 ounces and was 22 3/4 inches long. That's the 24th percentile for weight and 44th percentile for height.
It's funny because Brooke was 6lbs at birth and weighed in at a whopping almost 12lbs - nearly doubling her weight in two months. Taylor was just 7lbs 5 ounces at birth, gaining only 3 pounds 5 ounces in two months. It's amazing the difference in the two girls and their growth in two months.
Taylor got two shots, and cried with each one. It broke my heart that she was in pain, but she did really well the rest of the day - she was very sleepy.
The doctor finally told me to stop co-sleeping with her - so I am going to try to put her in her bed and see if she will sleep in there. It's just so hard...she's just a good little cuddle bug!!

Long time no post...
It seems like I have a hard time finding any time at all to post a new blog entry, but I am trying! Now, if only I can remember the 1,000 things I wanted to share with my readers.
First of all - some cute things Brooke has done recently. Today, her new thing is saying "Seriously, Mom?". I will tell her some fact - like I would like the "B" sticker and she will say "Seriously, Mom?". She gets that from me - I tend to say that a lot.
When I dropped Brooke off the other day at school, her teacher told me that Brooke has some of the best manners out of the whole class. She uses her pleases and thank yous most of the time, and when someone tried to get her attention by using "Hey!", she turns around and says "Hay is for horses". This, she gets, from her Daddy. Jeremy tends to say that a lot!
She is still doing wonderfully with her baby sister. She doesn't give her a ton of attention, but she is not acting out because Taylor is here. Brooke's bedtime routine is also getting a lot better at night. She doesn't call downstairs as much as she used to. Hopefully she is starting to break that habit.
Taylor is doing great as well. She is growing and her cheeks are getting chubbier! Very cute. She is a very happy baby and still, the only time she cries is when she is hungry. She has a few fussy moments here and there, but for the most part - a very happy baby when she is awake. She still sleeps a lot - which is just fine by momma! She is starting to use her voice a little more, but it's still very inconsistent. You can tell she is gaining strength in her legs and her neck and is really doing a good job at tummy time.
Taylor will be baptized on November 27th when Chris and Jenn are in town. We have asked Chris to be the Godfather and Melanie to be the Godmother/Christian Witness. Chris will also be baptising Lizzie Leigh and I am very priviledged to be her Godmother.
I will be going back to work on December 12th and will probably work a total of 3 days during the month of December. It's almost pointless, but I figured it would be a good transition to get out a few days that month. Taylor still has a hard time taking a bottle - she doesn't like it. I am contemplating buying a few different bottles to see if she likes any of those better than the Doctor Brown's bottles.
I guess that's all for now! See you next blog...
