Last week we had Arabelle's 2 month check up. She's just over 12 lbs and is 23 3/4 inches long. She also got her immunizations which was only a little traumatic. After a little crying she was ok. She did run a fever that afternoon but was ok by that night. This past weekend we actually went on our first extended excursion...to the mall! John had to take his mac to the apple store...he spilled coke on the keyboard...so we all went on Saturday morning. Arabelle did ok...in the past she's been very sensitive to her environment so anything outside of the norm usually sent her into panic meltdown mode. But this time she did ok. We were able to go to the Apple store, baby gap where we got her some fall clothes that were on sale, nike town to look for new shoes for me (pregnancy made my feet grow a whole size...not happy about it), and gymboree. After the mall we even took a sleeping in the bjorn arabelle to Moe's for lunch and to REI. We were really excited about being able to get out and about with her for such a long time. It's really the first normal running around kind of day we've had since she was born. We think she's starting to realize that going places and doing different things is fun and that she can sleep anywhere. Once we got home she actually wouldnt go to sleep...I think it's because she got overstimulated....but that night, she slept from 9 until 4 in her own room! In her crib! She was either really tired or she's starting to catch on to this night time sleeping. So after two months of frequent nighttime wakings, sleeping in a swing, afternoon fussiness, crib resistance, and general abandonment of everything we thought was normal...things are starting to return to normal...but it's a new normal.
Here are some pictures...pay attention to the last two...do you notice the similarities...specifically the ones on the sides of their heads?
