appointments, shots and pumpkin muffins

The twins had their 2 month appointments today. I was definitely curious about how much they weighed. Mira is 10lbs 9.2oz and 21.3in. She's the 40th percentile for weight and 10th percentile for length. Leia is 9lbs 11.6oz and 22.1in. She's 20th percentile for weight and 35th percentile for length. Adia was in between their weight and length at 2 months. Their doctor says they look great and can't believe how fast they're growing. It was then time for 3 shots a piece and an oral vaccine. They didn't mind the oral vaccine, but I've never heard a baby scream like that before. I remember Adia crying and screaming, but nothing like that. They both fell asleep afterward and I gave them tylenol when we got home. They've been fussy all afternoon, but are asleep now.


Adia was with us at the doctor's appointment and did pretty well, even through the long wait. The doctor even gave her a sticker. She followed me when the girls got weighed and measured and also when the doctor examined them. She wanted to make sure no one was hurting her babies. I thought she was going to come unglued when the shots happened. She doesn't like it when her babies cry.

We went out to lunch at Red Robin before going home. Then Adia and I went to the mall. She wanted to play at the play area and I thought it would be some good mommy-daughter time. We looked at shoes, played, rode the quarter machines and the escalator and got caramel apples. She said she had a fun time. It was then time to come home and make dinner. Adia painted while I made chicken soup, but she helped make cheesy bread.


She's definitely become a good helper lately. Not only does she help with diaper changes, but she can help cook and tonight she loaded the dishwasher! She's been trying to help make and wash bottles, but she's not quite old enough for that one. She was so funny with the dishwasher though. I thought she was going to start stealing dishes from Gramma and Daddy, just so she could put them in there. She didn't care if they were finished with dinner or not!
