The Pearsalls

Two month check-up - 9/30/11

The babies are two months old!! They are growing so well, and are wonderful. Both babies are smiling sweet little smiles and even letting out a little coo every now and then. Those little milestones are just so sweet!

Here are their two month stats:
Mollie - 20in, 8lbs 5oz, almost to 5% on the growth chart for weight! She still spits up all the time, but the doctor thinks it may just be that the sphincter in her esophagus just isn't strong enough. We are going to try Prilosec for a week, but then call it quits if it doesn't help. Mollie is just a sweet, smiley girl most of the time. Even when she spits up, she smiles. Her biggest problem is that she is spoiled and doesn't like to be put down!!

Charlie - 22.5 inches, 10lbs 3oz, about 25% on the growth chart. Charlie is just great. He's happy almost all the time and so relaxed about everything. He's definitely an easy baby, which is so great because Mollie is a little high maintenance. He grunts, groans, and sighs constantly. His little noises are so sweet. He is a great snuggler, too! I could just hug and kiss his chubby cheeks all day long.

In short, the babies are just perfect, and the doctor was amazed at how well they are doing - especially for being preemies.

In other news, we've made the switch to cloth diapers! I'll make another post about this later, but it has been kind of fun figuring out all the stuff that goes along with cloth diapering. We learned quickly that buying disposables for 2 babies is outrageous not to mention horrible for the environment, so we did some research and made the choice to switch! I should have listened to Bethany forever ago about cloth diapering - it really is pretty easy and not a big deal at all! More to come on this later.
