Miss Chloe went for her check up yesterday. She's not 2 months yet, but we went a little early. That girl is a CHUNK! She weighs 11 lbs. 1.5 oz. and is 22 inches long. That means she has gained 4 lbs. and grown almost 3 inches in 5 weeks. WHOAAA! Its no wonder she sleeps AND eats so much. She is starting to get much more curious and loves to be sitting up and looking around when she's awake. She is so aware of her surroundings, just like Cade was. People always commented to me how "alert" he was when he was a baby. I thought that was kind of wierd at the time. Maybe it means they will be smart! haha! She is also trying to roll over when she is on her belly! So, our baby girl is healthy and perfect! Praise God!
And Cade has added about 50 new words to his vocabulary since the surgery. Im sure he can hear us and himself SOO much better. I didnt think it was affecting his speech, but I was wrong! And the sweet thing is keeping us awake more than Chloe. He is going "nite-nite" totally on his own(which is a HUUUUGE step for us), but he wakes up at least twice during the night. Last night he woke up at 1AM and dragged Cody in the living room(cody thought he was looking for a stuffed animal to sleep with), but NO, he tried to turn on the TV and climb on the couch. Poor little guy thought it was morning! NOT so much....the doc said the anesthesia from surgery could make his sleep wierd for up to 6 weeks, so we are hoping thats what it is. If not, i dont know..Has anyone else had this problem? we have let him cry so much and he would cry all night. it doesnt work. Needless to say, we are tired. But God is good and this to shall pass, right?? I am clinging to this passage today....
Psalm 63:1-8
"O Lord, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul BE SATISFIED as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. On my bed I will remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
