2 month checkup

By
Nora had her two month check up on Thursday morning and I should have taken bets on how big this little girl has gotten. She weighed in at a whoppin' 10 pounds, 8 ounces. We had a new nurse (Travis) who asked to re-weigh her because he was surprised at how much she had gained, haha. 10 pounds may not seem like much, but it's the ~25th percentile and compared to Evie at the 3rd percentile, Nora is substantially bigger! She's also just under 22 inches, also in the 20-something percentile. 

She got 3 immunization shots and was a mess for several hours after - she was crying her head off and was only consoled (read: went to sleep) when we drove in the car. Poor baby! She calmed down after some baby tylenol, sleep and many hours. Mama and Daddy are also much calmer now, haha.

Waiting patiently at the doctor's office, pre shots.

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

1 week checkup

By
We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Apple tasting

By
Over the weekend we popped into the free Apple Tasting and Cider Making at the Orcas Island Historical Museum and it was amazing! There had to have been 30+ varieties and all of them can be found locally on the island. We had a lot of fun sampling away, tasting new varieties that I've never even heard of like Albermarle Pippin or Kennebec or early Fuji or Ashmael Kernel. I hope they do this again next year. Who wants to go with us?
