Wow, is it mid-April?

People have been emailing me about how long it's been since I've posted, and I have been thinking it's been just a few days!  I logged in today and realized it's been more than two weeks.  Sorry, grandparents!!!

So, what's new with Team Friddle?

Ally had her 2 month appointment.  Vaccinations sent her immune system into a complete flare up and it made for a really tough couple of days (and nights!).  But all the numbers looked GREAT.  It felt so incredibly good to have one of these appointments that didn't include any serious disussions.

Here are the stats as of 4-7-09:

Weight: 12 lbs (70th percentile)

Length:  23 3/4 inches (86th percentile)

Head Circumference:  39 cm (47th percentile -- woo hoo)

Today, I put her on her tummy and she picked up her head and looked around as though she'd been doing it all along.  This is kind of odd, because yesterday she couldn't do it at all. 

Samantha has been having fun this week.  I signed her up for a new Kindermusik class.  We stumbled upon a class with one two year old non-walker and one 2 1/2 year old who just started walking, which is really great.  It's nice to be with other kids and moms who are in the same place.  Sam is getting a lot more confidence in her balance while on her feet.  In Kindermusik, she stood while I helped her to "dance", and she laughed and asked for more!

Therapy has also been going well, and she is getting much more comfortable transitioning between sitting and tummy.  She's also showing interest in trying to crawl up stairs.  Woo hoo!

I think she's actually going to be pretty sporty when she grows up.  I went to get her dressed the other day and before I even had the closet light on she was pointing at her Dallas Cowboys jersey and saying "This!"  I pulled it out and asked if she was sure, and she said, "This!  Football.  Kick.  Dada.  Fun."  What a daddy's girl!
