Visiting the Dentist

Last week the kids had their first dentist appointments. {bad parent alert} Except we DO take oral health seriously...and they both got TWO big thumbs up for their brushing efforts. Jack was super brave! He showed Josie what to do...and how to look cool while getting your teeth cleaned. He also got x-rays and a fluoride treatment!

Josie let the hygienist count her teeth, then agreed to have her teeth cleaned so they could "sparkle like a princess." (oh man) Afterward they both got cool new toothbrushes, special toothpaste, and a prize. Jack even told me he had fun! So I think their first visit was a success!

Josie

Josie had her first pediatrician appointment in Fort Wayne today. She was not a happy camper. But apparently she enjoys eating. Here are her stats:

Weight: 12lb 14oz (90%)
Height: 21.5in (15%)
Head: ? (50%)

Her Grandpa Clevenger affectionately referred to her as "a little bowling ball." He suggested she start running after her big brother, Jack.

She has an umbilical hernia that I was concerned about...but her doctor wasn't worried at all. He said they are VERY common and usually "fix themselves" without requiring surgery. We're hoping that's the case.

Here is a little random fact - Josie and Jack will be going to the same pediatrician their daddy went to growing up. How cool is that??

If you're wondering (because I was) click HERE to see Jack's two month stats. Prettttty interesting! Also - please note the abundance of pictures from Jack's visit vs. Josie's visit today. That is what you call first child vs. second child.

A Special Saturday

It was a sad special day in our house today.  Jack got his first mullet hair cut! I will not lie. This was Tyson's decision and yes, I cried. While eating dinner, I looked over at my little guy and couldn't help it - I started crying. How do babies grow up so fast? I know it was time for the curls to go (they had become kind of ratty), but that was his baby hair!

The locks before they got the chop. Did I save them? You better believe it!

Even with a sucker, Jack protested when the nice lady cut around his ears.

But in the end, he walked away looking very handsome and grown up. They gave us a coupon for his "second hair cut."  I told them, "Thanks...we'll see you in another TWO years."
