Big Boy!!

Well, we had Colby's 2 month checkup on Monday! He weighs 13 lbs 13 oz....exactly the same as his brother did at 9 wks!! Colby is 24 3/4 inches tall...just a 1/4 inch taller than Ryan was! My big healthy boys! : ) No surprise, they both eat all the time. Ryan LOVES his veggies, corn & peas are his favorite. And he loves Kiwi and Grapes the best for fruits! Can't wait to start giving Colby yummy stuff!! I had to laugh, Dr Gebhardt said that as much as he eats it would be a good idea if I wanted to, to give him some rice cereal already! :) He said he's big enough and could learn to eat it from a spoon! So of course I've been trying and he does really well!! It's pretty thinned out at this stage, but he doesn't even push it out with his tongue...just makes a funny face and then starts smackin it down! : ) How funny!! So we were pretty excited to see how big he was, and he did well with his shots. He got 4 of them and then an oral vaccine for rotavirus. He was NOT happy when it happened, but then he's been great! His happy smiling self!
Can't believe Thanksgiving is next week! Time flies! I'm makin dinner for us and my parent's, it will be so fun to have a nice cozy dinner, turkey & all! ...Then we're headin over to my Grandma's to hang out with the whole crew. : ) We love it! Hope everyone has a great turkey day and remembers all the blessings we have!! If anyone reads this and feels compelled, I heard on the radio that the Salvation Army in Norfolk is over 100 turkeys short for what they expect to serve....so I'm gonna go buy a bird or two & drop it off, I'm so grateful to the Lord for providing us with so much, that I think it's important to give back too! Just a gobble thought!! : )

Thanks for posting about the turkeys! I was just telling Chad that I wish we had a good home for the turkey I will get from work. GREAT IDEA!

cute pictures too, as always!!
