Happy Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in the Sault as we will be down in Grosse Pointe for Christmas. Dane did an AWESOME job sitting quietly at the table and eating his dinner and Ryleigh slept peacefully in my arms. The meal was excellent and everyone had a great time!

Ryleigh is 2 Months!

Ryleigh went to her 2 month well visit yesterday. Her stats are:
Weight: 11 lbs. 12 oz.   50-75%
Height:  23 1/4 in.         75-90%
Head:    15 in.                50%

Dane at 2 Months was in the same percentile:
Yes, I know you are not supposed to compare children, but I was curious :)
Weight: 12 lbs. 15 oz.   50-75%
Height:  24 1/4 in.         75-90%
Head:    15 3/4 in.          50%

Ryleigh is also having constipation issues like Dane did. So since I am breastfeeding, I am off of all dairy and soy for 4 weeks to see if that helps. Our pediatrician also suggested we take her to a chiropractor because if the nerves are the least bit out of whack, it can cause all sorts of problems, constipation being one. I am a little nervous about her going to one, but the more research I do on the topic, the more I realize it is safe and could really help.

Here are Ryleigh's monthly growth pictures.

So Much Fun!

As you can see, our last few days in the Sault have been filled with lots of fun...

"Ok, now get me outa here!"

"Ah ha, found one!"

Dane's Pet Worm

Dane was digging in the garden with grandma on a gorgeous fall day and found a pet worm. He just had to bring it in to show mommy.

We're Making Money Now!

Because Dane's Jack in the Box Video has received over 40,000 hits, we are now able to make money off of our youtube videos.  Youtube places an ad next to the video or one will pop up while you are watching it, and we get a small portion of proceeds.  If you click on the ad we get even more money =)   So, along with our personal videos, I am going to start making videos of my art lessons too.

Here is a video I made of Dane this morning.  We  had just woken up, as you might notice.  He is 26.5 months old.
