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!

I'm glad that her check up went well. It is always hard for me to watch them get their shots (especially when they're infants, and so helpless). It stresses me out, and I always end up crying with them! Jordan also has started doing it too (she doesn't like to see anyone hurt). She's so sensitive! Belen does fine (although the 4 year old shots are the worst because they kick and scream, from then on it gets easier though), just as long as she's not the one getting shots.
Also, I have a friend who looks in on your blog every now and then and just LOVES all the expressions Lillianna makes! You'll just have to take tons more pictures, I guess!
8lbs, 4 oz! That is what JoAnne weighed when she was born! So I can imagine what size Lily is now. I am so glad that she is growing so well. Being so small is scary to me. Mine were never that small, although Fern's have all been pretty big at birth. My biggest was JoAnne. Please do get your video camera out, and start shooting! I love watching Zoe in action. I would love to see Lily too. Poor baby, I hate the shots that they need to have, BUT it is nice that we do not have to worry about our babies dying from those terrible diseases that our ancesters had to worry about. They don't even get chicken pox anymore, now that they have a vaccine for it. My kids all had the chicken pox, at the same time! Boy was that fun!! Poor Jennifer was totally covered with pox. I could not touch her anywhere without touching a pox. She cried for two days straight until I finally dosed her up with benadryl, then she finally went to sleep and woke up the next day without crying anymore. It is so terrible when your little ones get sick. You will learn this someday when she is older. But at least it will most likely be something harmless, just miserable (like a cold). Take care of that little "sweetie" and keep her out of the cold air...now I sound like our "smother mother". LOL. Love you guys, Love Cathy Jo
