2 month check-up

Kaitlin had her 2 month well child visit today. Dr. Mick was very pleased with her; he said that she looks great!
Height: 22"
Weight: 10lbs 15oz
This puts her right around the 50th percentile in both categories, so she's right around average.

She also had to get 3 shots and an oral vaccine. Poor kid let out quite the scream, but she calmed down right away and then slept the rest of the day away.

Baby Ballerina

Our little ballerina - isn't she cute?!

Visit from Uncle Jonah

We had a super fun weekend visiting with uncle Jonah from Chicago (soon to be from LA). We started off the weekend with a bang- we went to dinner at the Melting Pot. Thankfully, Kaitlin slept through the meal. Nate was so-so with the cheese course, barely touched the meat course, and LOVED the chocolate course.

On Saturday, Grandi and Grandpa Gino came for a visit. We kept the visit low-key and just barbequed in the backyard. Nate ended up making animal parades all over the house with Gabriel in the lead (everytime Gabe moved, so did Nate!).

On Sunday, we took uncle Jonah to the waterpark. Nate had a great time showing his uncle the baby pool, splash park, and lazy river and waterfall. Kaitlin slept through the whole outing (I'm sending a trend).

On Monday morning, we took Nate to his very first movie - "Winnie the Pooh". Kaitlin came too, so Josh ended up standing in the hallway to the theater (he could still see the movie) with her while Nate sat on my lap. Nate got a little scared in the movie - it was a good thing that the movie was so short. But, overall, it was a good experience! And, the movie is very, very cute.

We had a great time with uncle Jonah - thanks for coming to visit!

As one bonus post, I have a video of Nate dancing from the Greek Fest last weekend. Enjoy!

Crazy Weekend!

We just got back from a crazy weekend in Crown Point. On the way up, we stopped at Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. That place is massive! It has over 30,000 cows and lots of interactive exhibits.

On Saturday, we had a very busy day! We went the Albanese candy factory (I've never seen so much sugar!)...

...went to the Greek fest...

...celebrated YiaYia's 60th birthday...

...and just hung out!

On Sunday, we went to church for the 40 day blessing for Kiki and Kaitlin.

Kaitlin's First Smile and big brother Nate!

I managed to catch Kaitlin's first smile on camera today!

And, last night Nate decided that he wanted to hold his baby sister (he enjoyed it much more than she did!). Here's a snippet of some of the wisdom that Nate had to impart:

"Hello, Kaitlin. I'm your big brother Nate."

We are constantly amazed by the stuff that comes out of his mouth!

Welcome!
