Maggie has her 2-year well baby appointment today, and Oliver had his 2-week check up. Both kids are doing great. Maggie's at 25lbs. 35 %-ile for weight and 10 %-ile for height. She's still a little peanut like Mama, but she's perfectly healthy. She did awesome for the doctor and didn't cry when he was checking her out. Didn't even cry when they poked her finger to check her iron level. Such a big girl.

Oliver weighed 9lbs 2oz. Dr. Fry seemed very impressed with his weight gain over the last 9 days. We took Oliver in on Aug 2 and he weighed 7lbs 13oz. 21 ounces in 9 days seems pretty good to me! His cleft sure isn't interferring with his eating! The nurses had to poke his heel to do a newborn screen. They had trouble getting enough blood on the first poke, so they had to do it again. Pretty sad for Mama to watch. Big sisters were right there making sure he was okay.


We had a little birthday party for Maggie on Friday. I'll try to get a few pics of that up soon.

Great photos. Looks like Oliver is smiling on Daddy's chest.

You guys are so cute! Tara, you look GREAT!!!!! How did you dump your weight so fast?!? You have such a beautiful family! I noticed the smiling Oliver too! I can't get over how beautiful he is! I've gained a whole new appreciation for babies as I've spent so much time just looking at Brooklynn trying to figure out how she can be so amazing! (I've found they're even cuter when they sleep for longer!!!... Even if it takes a swing to get you there ;)...)
