The evening of his birthday we had a celebratory dinner of banana pancakes with 2 candles in them. Miles also got to wear a birthday crown at school. 
This week both kids had their regularly scheduled well-baby visits at the pediatrician's office. This was the first doctor's appointment in which Miles got to stand on the big boy scale and stay fully clothed. This right of passage was exciting for Miles and he only cried a few times during the visit (compared to the entire time as had been the norm) - when the doctor looked in his mouth, getting a shot, and when he couldn't have anymore stickers (he already got 3). His stats:- Height: 33 1/2 inches (30%)
- Weight: 27 lbs (40%)
- Head: 20 inches (90-95%)
He remains a little guy with a big brain! New things with Miles lately include imitating everything we say and do, talking in bigger sentences such as "milk spill on the floor," wanting to do everything on his own time which sometimes means getting him dressed in the morning takes a long time and his new obsession is this little step stool I bought at a garage sale. He wants to wash his hands non-stop now and a toddler tantrum happens when we finally pull him away to move on with the day.
Hadley turned 2 months old this past week! One of my favorite things (and Hadley's too) is snuggling in bed together. She will grunt and thrash sometimes in her own bed but as soon as I snuggle with her she falls right asleep. 
She also had her 2-month check-up and only cried when she got her 3 shots in the legs. Mike and I felt terrible because she was smiling at us up until the point they stuck the needles in her legs. Her stats:
- Height: 22 3/4 inches (70%)
- Weight: 12 lbs 6.5 ounces (90%)
- Head: 15.39 inches (60%)
Hadley is growing so much and can now lift her chest off the ground during tummy time. Her favorite distraction during this not so favorite exercise is watching Miles. If Miles is in her line of vision she is a content little sister. She is also talking to us more and more. I just had a conversation with her and I could tell she was working so hard to respond to me with her "ah-goos," squeaks and coos. She also is starting to grab onto things, like the blanket that covers her. I don't know if I've already mentioned in a previous post that she's pretty much sleeping through the night. Most nights her last feeding with be around 10 pm and she can sleep until 4-6 am. Good girl!
This weekend was busy. Friday I spent the day with the kids at Rachel's house. We had planned on doing outdoor activities with the kids all day but the rain drove us inside. Miles loves all the new toys at Corey's house though. Saturday Mike and I celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary by renting bikes in Minneapolis for a 20 mile cruise through downtown, along the Mississippi River and around the lakes. We also had a fabulous dinner at Vincent downtown. Today we attempted to do yard work but the extreme heat hindered our efforts. We also had a great dinner at my aunt Nancy's house. Hadley really loved snuggling up to her second cousin Emily. 
Big feet, little feet...
these kids are growing!
