KAROLINE
She is an amazing 2 year old and so smart...
Height: 36 3/4 inches (97%)
Weight: 30 lbs. 11.5 oz. (88%)
Head: 19 3/4 inches (97%)
Okay, now on to ANDERSON who is the OPPOSITE in every way...
Height: 25 3/4 inches (43%)
Weight: 14 lbs. 9.5 oz. (14%)
Head: 16 1/4 in (7% - YES only 7%!!!!)
Isn't it amazing how my kids can be so different!
Anderson does have a tear duct problem that should go away in a few months. Also, the doc finally put Anderson on Zantac and I am hoping, hoping, hoping he will start spitting up less. The doc really wanted to avoid medication which I TOTALLY understand but here is what he suggested:
1) Pump for every meal instead of breastfeeding and add rice cereal... YEAH RIGHT! He obviously thinks I have all the time in the world to pump and make sure that both kids are happy at the same time while I pump not to mention Karoline unplugging the pump probably while my hands are occupied! This is not practical for me in any way, plus pumping full time will decrease my milk supply over time and I want to BF until he is a year old...
2) Keep him sitting up and still for an HOUR after each feeding!! WHAT!!?? Like he is going to be happy sitting in a bounce seat for an HOUR after each feeding. I don't think so... not this active little boy!
3) Make him sleep in a car seat! WHAT!??? (again?) and change the sleeping habits of a baby who has been sleeping through the night for 4 months now. I DON'T THINK SO! NO WAY! HE does not ever last more than 30 minutes in his car seat. Plus he never spits up in his sleep thank goodness!
So finally after Anderson spit up big time twice while being examined by the doc he said he would give me some Zantac!!! YEAH!! He did comment on how strong my little man is! Everything else is great! He did okay with his shots- he was just so over tired! It was a long exhausting day for me and mom. We had to go to Starbucks ASAP!
Enjoy the pictures...
Yes, she is seriously looking at a Pottery Barn magazine. She already knows the "Look". You can hold up PB magazines and she knows what they are. I am training her early! :) She has her mommy's expensive taste for fine furnishings!
On the catwalk...
Karoline tried on her new bathing suits... we can only keep two of them so what do yall like??
Suit #1- Target (she is trying to check out the price!)
Suit #2- Baby Gap (on sale of course)
Suit #3 Baby Gap (on sale too)
Karoline LOVES "Nuu Nuu's"
Oh the cute little man... He loves to put his feet up while he eats.
I still think it is amazing that both my kids got TJ's beautiful blue eyes. I am so thankful!
Don't you just want to eat him up... not literally!
Oh Gammy is here and Karoline enjoyed brushing her hair tonight...
Gammy with Little Bill (That is what he gets called sometimes because he looks like my dad's baby pics and his first name is William)...
Off to watch American Idol...

What a day! You are not the first person that I've heard say not to schedule both kids' appointments together. I will really take this to heart after hearing your experience. So glad Anderson will get some meds for spitting up - he helped you out by spitting up on the doc twice. Way to go!
Okay, on to swimsuits - well, I vote for #1 - for a little more sun protection and #3. The little bikini is total sweetness, but I think they will be wearing those for plenty of time later on. I love preserving the sweetness of their age just a bit with the one pieces. Just me though. Let us know what you decide on. I want to get a suit for E so bad,but can't think of a single time we'll be near water- even after getting back to ATL this summer. I'm sure at that point we'll be sticking close to home. Who knows though, maybe I should just get one to have..."just in case." :)
ooh, ooh, i like the one-piece with the cherries. so cute!
you are right, beth, pearson looks A LOT like his Sonny...especially Dad'd baby pictures. and i think sweet anderson looks like your dad, too!
have fun with your mom!!
Wow! You had one busy day! Hopefully Anderson will get some relief with the Zantac (and you'll get some relief with laundry)! I vote for bathing suit #3 - very very cute!!
Why is GiGi the only one voting for the bikini? I love it. And it is so figure flattering.........Don't even talk to me about taking both to the Dr. at the same time. I had no choice and no help and it was TJ who is Karoline only with extra equipment. That's when I invented the snakes on the floor game.
The joys of being a mom! I like the cherry swim suit, it's so cute!!! I love the back of it. I hope you have a great time with your mom and with Brent, Leigh, Jackson and Pressley. Tell them all I said hey!
The cherries swimsuit is my favorite, it's adorable. Im loving the polka dot bikini too though :) Wow, 2 doctors appointments in one day--you are a super mom! I'm in agreement with you about not liking your doctor's suggestions for helping with Anderson's spitting up--glad you got some meds. Hope it clears it up!
Cherries! Tell your mom, Brent, Leigh, and the kids "Hey!"
Maggie
Okay...I have to agree with Natalie. I love the cherries swimsuit:) It is too cute! Have fun with your family:)
Wow Beth what a crazy day! I'm sorry about Anderson and hope the medicine works. I like bathing suit number three! Halter neck, very cute!!
