Back to School and a Checkup for the growing girl!

WooHoo! School is back in session and we are super excited around here! Betsy Grace started on Tuesday and loved every minute. She told me over and over that her favorite part was the "paint"...not something we get into very often at home :) We love her teacher, Ms. Terry, and know that it is going to be a fabulous year! Every afternoon we go up the street to wait for the big kids to come home on the school bus...I think little miss was thinking that she would catch a ride too..."Bye Mom, heading up the street!"
Please notice that the purse is once again on her arm, she is lost without it and even though it does not go into school, you better believe we are clutching it on the ride to and fro.

And look who will be 10 weeks old tomorrow!!!! We took her for her 2 month checkup earlier this week and our little NICU baby now weighs 10 lbs, 11 oz. Almost double her birthweight!

She is measuring 21.5 inches long (grown 2 inches in the past month) and pretty much falls in the 20th% across the board. She was so good for the doc, except for the end when it was shot time. Lordy, I forgot about newborn shots and they load them up at 2 months! And then she tells me that they discourage the use of Tylenol because it might lessen the effectiveness of the vaccines...what?!?! I was so tempted because that afternoon was not pretty but I held strong and we got through it and that night she slept from 9-4:30....longest stretch ever! Guess all of the crying wore her out.

She remains to be such a good baby! She has started to focus and follow you through the room, she has discovered her hands and we are delighted by her sweet smiles! And the best part is that BG is more in love with her than ever! I can't believe that this time next year I will be sending 2 to school!
