A granola bar is not as good as a cookie.

Too bad that's true. My sugar detox continues...this is day 4 and I've really stuck to it. Although Zac told me last night that I was cheating because I at a granola bar after dinner. I don't think so, because it wasn't nearly as satisfying as a chocolate chip cookie would have been. Why isn't this getting any easier!!??

On a happier note, Brody only woke up ONE time last night! Yea! He's only been eating one time overnight for two weeks now, but he has this night-waking problem of just wanting to see us for awhile every hour or so. Maybe I convinced him it's not that great after all.

He had his 2 month appt today (although he is really 10 weeks today). It went well and the doctor thought he was doing great!

His stats:
13 lbs. 8 oz. 90%
24.5 inches tall 90%
Smaller head than the other two boys (I can't remember exactly but it was only the 40%...wow, he must have some of my genes and not the Hicks head...sorry Dad Hicks).

Kind of a big dude!

And Joel has his a 4 year check-up on Friday.

His stats:
38 pounds
39 inches

Doing great! He answered all of the doctors questions about his development, aced his eye exam (phew...I haven't passed that on to him), and even lied to her when she asks if he brushes his teeth every morning (in addition to evening brushing). Oops, I guess we'll have to work on that. Thanks for trying to make me look like a better mom, buddy!

On an interesting note of comparison. At the same age as Brody is right now, Joel was 2 inches shorter and 3.5 pounds lighter! Wow, poor Joel spit up everything he ate and cried all of the time. Maybe he was just hungry :).

And when Jesse was Brody's age, they were the same length, but Jesse was a pound lighter. It seems dear Brody is getting plenty to eat (it took the 3rd child to finally accept that I have a low milk supply and now I supplement). I guess there are some benefits to being the 3rd!
