Wow, has it been two months already since our little girl was born? Lillianna is growing too fast. While I'm very excited for her to be at the stage where she is walking and talking, I don't want her to grow up too fast either.
Lily had her 2 month checkup yesterday. Basically it was a review of her development so far. They checked her weight (a whopping 8lbs., 4 oz.), length and head circumference and we discussed how she's doing as far as awareness, interacting with others, tummy time, breastfeeding, etc. We also talked about what to expect at this age and in the next 2 months until her next appointment at 4 months.
As for the shots, she got the following, which were combined into 3 injections and 1 oral: - DTaP (Diptheria, Tetanus & Pertussis) - Polio - HepB - Pneumococcal Conjugate - Hib - Rotavirus She did REALLY well with the shots - she only cried for about 30 seconds right after they gave her the shots. She's such a little trooper. :) Though after we got home she became pretty fussy and remained that way for the rest of the day. The Doctor warned us that would probably happen.
Tom is still on a break from Photography school which will allow him time to get the web business caught up. Classes begin again on January 16 with "Portraiture II" and "Critical Thinking" The latter of the two is an online class and will allow Tom to have more evenings at home. Since almost all of the General classes remaining are offered on-line, we have decided that Tom will pair up one general class with one photography class for the rest of his schooling. (another couple of years).
Meanwhile, Tom has also been given a one-year extension on his "New York Institute of Photography" courses. So, he will be working hard to get those assignments knocked out as well.
You can see we didn't post any pictures today. I think we have posted most everything we have, so we will have to get shooting again. I think the video camera is getting a thin layer of dust as well. Time to blow it off and roll some tape! (James and Desta have inspired me!)
That's it for now...Have a great Day!
During their recent visit to Minnesota, Tom shot these portraits of Mom & Dad Archibald. He's been keeping them a secret and not sharing them because they are being given as Christmas Gifts. Though they haven't actually been given yet (they're on the way), we figured we would share them here. Don't worry, there are more Lillianna videos on the way too.
