HOLY SHIITAKE!!!

Auntie Kris got Sissy this shirt, and I thought it was fitting for what has been happening this week!

As you know, my sister turned 2... 2 months that is.  So, here are what the milestones for this month are, so far..

First, she went to the doctor's office to get checked out.  Here are her stats:

Weight: 14 lbs 6 ozs

Length: 24 1/4"

Head circumference: 16"

She is in the 98th percentile in all three categories.  Basically, that means she is one big kid!

The first thing the doctor said when she saw Sissy was, "Look at those eyes!"  She thinks that Sissy's eyes will stay light in color.  She is guessing hazel. Mama is guessing light brown, and Daddy is still holding out for blue.  What do you think?

So, this is me, trying to get some sleep, and taking comfort in a "ba-chan blankie" (a blanket made by a grandmother).  Sissy has been colicky.  Which is another word for, "Super Duper Gassy."  By definition, it means she cries for 3 hours straight, at least 3 times a week.  Which I can tell you, it is more than that.  The doctor thinks that it is, "just gas", but.....

Does this look like a kid that is "just gassy"?!

The reason she is all shiny looking is not because of the flash of the picture.

Sissy sweats when she cries.  She's drenched in minutes.

Do you like that clenched fist?  She looks like she's gonna beat someone up!

In happier news...

Sissy is super close to rolling over!  She is a rolie polie!

She can roll from her tummy to her back, but not her back to her tummy.  She tries super hard, but her arm works as a speed bump and she gets stuck.  (if you look back at the second picture, you will see what I mean by saying her arm gets in the way)  She did this at the doctor's office, and the doctor was super impressed and said it will be any day now.  She also said that rolling over like this is a 4-5 month old milestone!  We all knew that my sister was advanced, but it is nice to have a professional confirm it.

The doctor (who is super nice and we love) also said that she does a lot of 4-5 month things.  Like how she locks her legs, holds her head, and can almost sit up by herself.

The only thing Mama needs to work on, is getting Sister on a schedule.  We would all appreciate that.  I would, that is for sure.  But, it is harder than Mama thought it would be.

Sissy has also found her fists, and is starting to put them in her mouth to self soothe.  Which makes a lot of drool, but less crying.

Now, you won't believe this one...

But Mama swears that Sissy can say, "Hi" and "Mama" (this is her waiving, kind of).  Not on cue, but she can.  The only problem is she only cries, "MAAAAAA MAAAAAA!"  when she is upset, and Mama doesn't like that, it makes her sad.  When she says, "hi", she says it really fast, and repetitively, like, "hi hi hi".  Daddy has heard it too.

Again, not typical of a 2 month old.  And Grandma said if she started talking by 3 months, she would send her to Yale so she can be a bulldog like me!

So, if you are reading this Grandma, I have super duper dog hearing, and I can tell you, Sissy can talk!

(kind of)

Other than that, I am just here on my bed, keeping my eyes and ears open for you guys, so I can report on my blog what my family is up to.

Mama thinks I look like a walrus or seal in this picture, but I am just keeping myself warm, all tucked in.  It has been raining a bit, and cold at night.  So, stay warm everyone!
