Two Months!

Yesterday we took Payton for her two month check up, and I'm happy to report that she's healthy!  She weighs 10 lbs & 13.5 oz, and is 22.25 in long!  I was a little surprised that she had only gained a pound and six and a half ounces since her last appt.  She seems so much heavier than that.  And her hemangioma on her chest has also gotten smaller.  When she was born it was 3 cm, and now it's 2 1/4 cm.  Since she looks so good the doc said we don't have to wake her up in the middle of the night to eat anymore!  We can wait for her to wake us up!  I can't wait until she starts sleeping for eight hours at a time!  Although I shouldn't complain since she sleeps for six most of the time.

As we were there I casually mentioned she seemed a little fussy during the day for no reason, and that I knew it was a little early to start cutting teeth but...  So the doc put on a rubber glove and checked her bottom gums and lo and behold she can feel her two bottom chompers starting to poke up!  Time to put the teething rings in the freezer!

The worst part of the visit was that since she's two months, she had to get shots.  :(  Once in each thigh, poor baby.  I hate it when she get those, but I know it's for her health and we want her to be heathly.

Canadian trenchcoat mafia

So I ran across this article on fox news.

I've seen, and frequently visit the website People of Walmart and find it hilarious.  Should my picture, god forbid, ever end up on that site for whatever reason I would like to think I would have a sense of humor about it.  I particularly like the woman's argument:

"The thing is, if you take a picture of someone in public, they're in public," Wheeler said. "My argument is you're in a Walmart. We have no privacy shopping? So, I could go into any store and take a picture of anybody or their children and put it up on a web page."

Hello, McFly, Walmart IS in public!  As long as you're in public, and shopping is one of those public activities, you're fair game.  Apparently she thinks that once those sliding glass doors close as you enter the giant shopping center, that a protective bubble forms around you and no one can touch or see you.  Sweet Jesus.
