19 months and 2 weeks old

Henley's second week of life has been just as busy as her first. She has her ultrasound on her Kidneys at 8 days old. She also had to retake her hearing test since she failed it the first time. I am happy to report, she has perfect hearing. While up at the doctors office, we went and applied for her passport, birth certificate and Social Security Card. We should have her passport and birth certificate back in the next 2 weeks. Gabby also had her 18 (at 19) month check up. Her stats are as follows:

Weight: 22 lbs

Height: 32 inches

Henley just had her 2 week check up she checked in at:

Weight: 8 lbs 6 oz.

Height: 21 inches.

She is sitting in the 80% for height weight and head. She is a big girl. I guess she pulls her genes from the Thomas side of the family, as she is just bigger than Natalie and Gabby ever were. As a matter of fact, she is as big as Natalie and Gabby were at 2 months. Height included! HAA

Life with the 2 little girls has been interesting. We have been working with some attitude on Gabby's part, but overall I have adjusted well. I know their schedules and we stick to them. If we are out in public, and one throws a tantrum (gabby) I tend to ignore it and she gets over it. I don't over indulge and play into her attitude. As long as you provide her with an outlet during the day for her energy, then most outings go smoothly. However, she tends to play up more when Dad is around.

Henley is an absolute doll of a baby. After working out some formula issues due to her inability to nurse (recessed jaw), she has settled into a great routine. She eats 3 oz every 3 hours and takes it like a champ. She has to have a Dr. Brown's bottle because the nipple is smaller and she is not the best sucker in the world. She is easy going, placid baby unless its dinner time. Then she gets all crazy and in 5 seconds too. She is Rick when it comes to feeds. She lets Gabby attack her regularly and never makes a peep. Thank goodness for that, because Miss Henley is loved to death by her sister!

Her first outing to the pool. We have had another 2 weeks of rain, and the one night it was not raining we took Gabby to the pool for an hour to run around and enjoy the "sun". It has rained non stop since then.
