"Baby Ingrid is eight weeks"

Nicole: "Amelia, how old are you?" 
Amelia: "Ingrid is eight weeks."
Nicole: "Yes.. but how old are you?"
Amelia: "Ingrid is eight weeks. Amelia is almost two."

I write this as the wee one sleeps on my lap after her 2-month appointment and vaccines. She handled the immunization shots with grace, but is now yearning for some extra sleep and snuggle time from mom & Amelia today.  Amelia is always happy to oblige!

In other news, our Miss Ingrid is on pace to be taller than her sister by next Christmas! She came in at the 81% for height. EIGHTY.FIRST!! She has also gained three pounds since her birth and has wonderful head control -- the doctor jokingly asked her if she has been to "sitting up class." She continues to be a good sport about her older sister yelling "BABY INNNN-GID" and "BABY SISSSSTER" right into her ears, and smiles frequently (though we have yet to catch one on camera.. stay tuned!)

Some other firsts for Ingrid this month: 
Open Gym at Oshkosh Gymnastics Center -- so fun!
First trip to Target.. there will be many more, my dear girl :)

Busted!

Amelia gets busted raiding Auntie Lisa's makeup bag. Proof below.

I can't help but think, while looking at this photo, that "kid-with-lipstick-all-over-face" is one of those parental "must-take" photos.. right up there with the crying-on-santa's-lap photo and the spaghetti-all-over-face-in-the-highchair photo.
