Kennon's 2 month check up

Last Thursday Kennon and I went to see Dr. Anderson for his 2 month check up. He passed with flying colors. He is up to 12lbs 1 ounce and is 21 inches long. This puts him at about the 60th percentile for height and the 25th for weight ( I think.....Dr. Anderson tends to mumble and I didn't have time to process the graph that he flashed in front of me with the numbers). All in all he is doing well. I told him Kennon seems to be doing better with his colic. He still has fussy times but they are shorter lasting and less frequent. Dr. Anderson reminded me most babies grow out of colic at about 3 months.....!! We have ONE more chiro appointment and then I think I'm going to call it quits, much to the disappointment of the chiropractor. He is generally sleeping from about 8 or 9 till 2 or 3 ( except for last night for some reason he woke up at midnight). And then he takes 2 pretty good naps, one in the AM and one in the PM during the day. I think we have him on a pretty good schedule already ( not sure how that happened but it did). He is really full of smiles when he is having a good day...and loves to 'talk' to you and hear you talk back. Maddox is still REALLY loving him and is just full of kisses for him lately. She is SOOOO talkative. Everyday she strings more words together! Yesterday she said 'hold this mommy', asking me to hold her sippy cup while she finished her animal crackers. She really likes to feed other people food from her plate so she'll say 'eat it daddy'. She is at Kindercare as I write this. We got a FREE TRIAL day for her to see how it goes. She officially starts next Tuesday. Friday will be our last day at Kim's. They were excited to see her come today and remembered her name. She has her own little cubby with her name on it for extra clothes/shoes etc and her own cubby for diapers ( although I'm hoping with all the little toilets around she won't need those diapers too much longer). Her little eyes were pretty wide when we walked into her CLASSROOM and she saw all the kids....a little overwhelmed. But, she didn't cling on and quickly found a kid sized chair to move about and sit down in. I didn't even say goodbye she was already off playing with the kids. I learned today they don't use sippy cups in her classroom....so I'm pretty certain she is going to come home covered in whatever it is they drink because she really can't use a regular cup yet! But, I'm excited to think about all the cool things she is going to learn in the coming weeks...how to stand in a line, how to use the toilet, how to use her fork and spoon REALLY well ( she does ok now but not perfect), and how to drink from a real cup. Oh....she is getting so big!! So she'll stay at Kindercare until she goes to Kindergarten which will be nice. No more major transitions. I would definitely say the classroom she will be in is a preschool type learning environment even though they don't call it preschool quite yet. She'll move to the 3 year old room next fall and that apparently is their 'preschool'. But, but the looks of the walls in her room ( art projects, numbers, colors, the theme of the day etc)...she is SURELY going to learn a lot! We are very excited. Kennon will start next Tuesday. So it will be the entire Kies family trying to get out of the house next Tuesday AM.....wish us luck!! My picture taking has fallen off the bandwagon....so busy with juggling patients, paperwork, household duties etc. Don't have any new pics but I"ll try to get some soon.
