All dressed up for Australia Day!
All is well here! We are somewhat into a routine that suits us all and I continue to enjoy my time at home before it's time to go back to work. We haven't been doing a whole lot with ourselves lately...just enjoying our time as a family. Last weekend (I think it was) we took the girls to see their first movie. We went and saw Tangled and I loved it!! Maegen slept through the majority of it and Mackenzie was a little frightened by it at first, but eventually settled in and enjoyed herself. On the bases here they have cinemas and you can go see a movie for free so we went there with the thought that we wouldn't be losing any money if we had to leave part way through the film. We will definitely be making more use of it in the future as going to be movies as a family of four is going to be expensive!!
Two girls beginning to get grumpy at me as I'm taking too many photos!!
Maegen is doing good and is starting to smile, babble and all those other baby stuff that make them so cute!! I took her to the doctors on Thursday for her two month check up. It was a little early, but the the doctor and I decided on that so we could look at how her weight was going. She is now 8 pounds 13 ounces and the doctor said everything is coming along great. Her weight has been a constant worry for me. She feeds all the time, sometimes it feels a little too much, which can prove a little stressful at times because I feel like I don't do anything else except feed her. I had decided that I would talk to the doctor about possibly supplementing her with formula and the doctor agreed it would be a good idea. Since starting this Thursday she's like a different child. She is a lot more settled, I feel like I have a little more freedom and she's pooping a lot more than what she was. I'm going to continue to breast feed her as much as I can, but it seems like she almost prefers the formula, so I guess we'll just wait and see how it goes. It amazing to me how Mackenzie was completely different...I feed her up until she was 18 months!!
Maegen also got her shots and was very brave! She had no fevers or anything after them so the appointment was a good one! I'm going to be taking her back to the doctor in a few weeks though just to check up on her weight to make sure she's put some more on.
Taking a nap in her car seat.
Daddy and his girls.
Mackenzie is doing great and is an endless source of laughter! She is doing good at going to school and I have been able to drop her off without any tears which is great for me!! The other day her teacher was near the front door when we walked in and Mackenzie walked off with her barely giving me a wave goodbye!
For Australia Day she took some Tim Tams to school to share with her friends which she enjoyed especially. When I went to offer some to the teachers however she got most upset and at one stage began to scream bloody murder. After bribing her with another one I was able to give a few more out! She is just like her parents being chocolate obsessed. Every time she goes to the store with John she walks back through the door with either a Kit Kat or M and Ms!! Next week at school she will have a Valentine's Day party so I will have to try and get some photos of her there.
Maegen taking her first bottle of formula...and loving it!!
John is doing fine and we found out that he received the orders he wanted so we will be staying put in San Diego for another three years. It's nice to know that we will be staying put as for the most part I love living in San Diego. He got the day off today as the super bowl was yesterday so it was nice to have an extra day with him. Mackenzie stayed home and we went out to this place called John's Incredible Pizza. (I think that's its name) Anyway it's this place where you can go and eat and play games and go on rides. The first time we ever went there was a Saturday night and it was crazy!! Today we went and the place was really quiet so Mackenzie was able to walk around and play on a bunch of games without us having to worry about her getting trampled!
All dressed up and being a goof ball!
As for me I'm doing good. As I mentioned before I'm feeling a little sense of freedom with Maegen taking the bottle now, although I have mixed emotions about her being on formula. I know how important breast milk is for an infant, but at the same time I want her to be happy and healthy and it seems that the formula is doing that for her. I'm sure by next week I'll be wondering why I was so worried!! I went to the doctors today for my post pregnancy check up and got a clean bill of health, so things are good. I have a little over six weeks to go before I'm back to work so I imagine if I thought I'm too busy now to write on here it's going to get even crazier then!!
Me and my girl!!
Hard at work
This weekend we are heading up to Disneyland which we are excited about. It will be Maegen's first trip there so I can't wait to get all those cute photos with the characters, not to mention get back on some rides!! The last few times we went I was very pregnant so had to take it easy so I'm looking forward to not having to be so careful!! I'll be sure to post pics of our big day!!
Maegen sleeping like the little angel she is!!
