2 and 15

Months, that is. Miss Avarie turned 15 months and Cam turned 2 months in January. We survived the doctor appointments, thank you to my wonderful mother-in-law who came with us. Both had shots, which would have been a nightmare for me to handle alone. Here are their stats and a recent picture.
Cameron Spencer
23.25 inches (75th), 12.7 lbs (75th)

Cam is a VERY happy baby. He is constantly smiling and laughing, it is so sweet. He still has acid reflux, but his medicine helps a great deal. He is getting better at holding his head up, has more awake time, is focusing on objects, and (the greatest accomplishment) SLEEPING 8 HOURS AT NIGHT! I am a "Babywise" mom through and through, and have been working really diligently at getting his little schedule down. It is a lot of work, but so worth it. Avarie was also sleeping 8 hours between 8 to 10 weeks old. Hooray!

Avarie Shirlene
30.75 inches (50th), 23.2 lbs (50th)

This sassy thing is quite the girl. She definitely has a mind of her own, and runs her own schedule. She still loves food, and throws tantrums if it is not coming fast enough. She is talking up a storm (most words are still hard to understand, but she knows what they mean). She is learning to say thank-you ("tako") when I give her something. She loves Cam, who she calls "Baby", and gives him little pats on the head. She is my shadow, and often gets run over because she stands RIGHT at your feet. Books, play food, dolls, and strollers are her fave toys. She makes me laugh a million times a day. Love her.
