Not Happy!

Eve went to the doctor yesterday for her 2-month visit. She was NOT HAPPY! I think she may have been a bit tired, but she cried almost the whole time...especially when she got her shots (I can't say that I blame her for that). She was a little pitiful yesterday, I think she got just a bit of a fever, but it felt like she cooled down through the night. John was such a good boy during the visit. He's actually been a very good boy for the most part, except in the evenings. For some reason evenings have been tough for him the past couple of days. Anyway, here are the official stats. She is 11 lb. 8 oz. (66%), 23 in (72%) and head size 15 1/2 in (65%). She really is growing fast! I'm wondering if she's going to end up at the top of the charts like John. It's funny, I tell everybody that I really don't know where John's size comes from. First they say, "well, Buck's pretty tall isn't he?" Nope, he's ~5'11'' (5'11 1/2" of if you ask him). Then they say "well, your dad's tall". Nope, he's about 5'10". We'll see if John continues to be a big boy or if he levels out. We're banking on a football scholarship. When he was just a few months old, I was rocking him and telling him he'd have to be a tight end. I figure he's going to be big, but we can't afford a lineman's diet!
Eve is starting to sleep a bit better at night, at least for the past couple of nights. We're down to 1 or 2 feedings a night. For some reason, though, I still feel like I have to nap during the day.
John is really exploding with his language skills. His pronunciation isn't getting much better. It really helps to have context when he's talking, otherwise it can be difficult to understand. He is really starting to put words together, though, and what impresses me is how he's putting thoughts together. I can really see his brain working hard. He's always been very pensive and analytical. He doesn't like to be shown how to do anything, in fact he gets very angry. He likes to figure things out for himself. Daddy has always said he's going to be a Nascar mechanic or an engineer. Since the first time I put him in the big tub (under 6 months) he's tried to figure out how the faucet works, messing with the pull for the shower from the top and bottom of the faucet). The first time we took him on the carousel, for most of the ride he was watching the gears overhead rather than all the pretty animals and people going around. I can't wait to see what Eve will be like. My aunts laughed because her movements are often very slow, and I've always been very slow-moving. She even has a cute turtle look to her face when she lifts her head. Watch, she'll be a sprinter.
