So both my kids had an appointment just this past Monday (may 9) Poor things had to get a series of shots. I was expecting Landen's shots, but I had NO IDEA Viv need 4!!! she was so brave, I was proud of her. She cried, but bounced right back and was chasing butterflies by the afternoon. Now for the stats...drumroll please....hahahahaha!!
Landen is 15 lbs...YES 15!! he is 27 in. long. He's got a big 'ol head, in the 90th percentile!! poor dude! but his height and weight were in the 50th, so hopefully soon his body will catch up with his head.
Vivian is 30 lbs and around 35 1/4" tall. She is still small for height and weight, but she follows her own curve so we are not worried. They checked her ears and eyes this time and she did wonderful!
I just can't believe how fast time flies. I can still remember when Viv was Landen's age, all the things she was just learning to do like he is now. Now she is so independent. She does pretty much EVERYTHING on her own...dresses herself, puts dishes in the sink, buckles her seatbelt and closes the van door. I'm so proud of her and so look forward to all that is to come and yet i feel a pull at my heartstrings knowing my baby is going to grow into an acutal ADULT!! I wonder all the time what she's going to be like, who will she meet, what kind of things will she be into...then i stop myself because I just want to enjoy NOW.
The even harder part is watching Landen grow, knowing this is it for us. Me and Chris both agreed we are happy with two, and I honestly don't want to have another baby, but it still doesn't make it any easier to watch him growing so fast. I find myself stalling on things that Viv was doing by now. Like feeding him solids regulary, having him sleep in his own room...I want him near me as a baby as long as possible!! I love to hold him close while he hold my finger with his tiny hand and look into my eyes while I feed him his bottle. On the other hand it's just amazing to watch him grow and learn, and I can't wait to see him as an older child, walking, talking, what his personality will be like....
Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never know so many emotions went with it. and you feel them all at the same time sometimes!
