Cobwebs and Sorrow

We watch Annie just about every day here (and by we, I mean LM and me. BigM joins us on the weekends). It was one of my favorite movies growing up, and as an adult I can really relate to Ms. Hannagan and her feeling overrun by "Little Girls." I love that it's become one of their favorites, too.

BigM and LM love to sing, anything, and they make up lots of their own songs. They don't quite get the words right to all the songs that actually have lyrics already and you better not tell them the correct ones, because you'll get straight up told.  So I wasn't surprised when I overheard LM singing to her Barbies:

"Thaaaa sunnel come ouuuutttt, tomorrow. Sit your bottom down dah tomorrow, thell be suuuunnn."

At least she hears what I say? Listening may be another story...

Two Month Stats

MM had her 2 month well visit today, and she's turning out to be quite the monster. Although it shouldn't be surprising because she was huge at birth. As usual, I entertained Dr. Nesbit with my hippy-crunchy-granola ways and for the first time we agreed about the subject of vaccinating. (Did you feel the earth shake? Cause it about tipped on its axis.)

I know, I know, you only care about the stats. Me too.

Length: 22"- 49%
Head: 15.25"- the new nurse (apparently) is practically blind, so we had a little scare about her head being inappropriately small. I have no idea what % it falls into because she wrote it according to her incorrect measurement. Not sure which is scarier, a blind nurse or an inappropriately small head. Thankfully, we have a great pediatrician, so I don't have to worry about either.

Weight: 14 lbs, 2 oz--- wait for it... 89%.

What in the world? I've never ever had one of my babies even above 50%, and this child is heftier than 8 of her closest friends? A little ironic that we call her Mini Mouse, don't ya think?

Her other nickname is Chubs- a much more fitting description.
