Well, time has certainly flown since I’ve last managed to put anything in here, but suffice it to say that good things are happening. I’m back at work now, which is killing any free time that I may have had to post, so here’s the down and dirty:
Mina’s now two months old and has already been to NYC and PA. We had great fun with her at Christmas, as is documented here.
She’s been mostly sleeping through the night since she was about one month old, something that we are eternally grateful for – I think it is the only thing keeping us sane. She goes down around 11pm and fusses a little bit anywhere around 4.30-6am but usually doesn’t ask to get up to feed until at least 6, then goes right back to sleep until around 10. YAY.
She started smiling at us, seemingly on purpose, about a week ago…then a few nights ago, we actually caught her first laugh on video. She LOVES her musical diaper changer distracter thing and stares at it when we change her, and tries to eat the animals on it CONSTANTLY. It’s hilarious.
She went to the pediatrician yesterday, and is 12 pounds, 9 ounces now (95% for weight). I didn’t catch what her height was, but it was in the 95%. What an overachiever! She had her first vaccination, a combo of DTaP, Polio and HiB all in one – so that was the only one we opted for at this trip. She slept well, ran a tiny fever, was a little more fussy than normal – then threw up 
Afterwards since then she’s been fine, slept through the night and seems very happy this morning.
Amzie is doing awesome – just got a 4.0 on her report card and is adjusting beautifully to being a big sister. She’s been great at keeping Mina distracted by reading to her and singing to her. She’s gotten to spend some time with friends our house, at babysitting co-op and the inauguration party we went to, and she’s been having a blast.
More news as it breaks!
