When Milo had Hair

When Milo was born, the two comments we got from almost everyone we met were:

1. He looks exactly like Michael! 

2.  He has so much hair!!!  I've never seen a baby with so much hair!  And it's so dark!  The girls didn't have dark hair did they???

He still looks just like Michael (all 3 kiddos do, really...Charlotte looks like a cross between Michael as a toddler and my sister).  But, his amazing dark hair pretty much fell out.  He still has some, but is a baldy for the most part :P

Sierra took newborn pics for us and they are amazing!  Check out her website if you're interested in having her take pics for your family (she also photographed Milo's birth, took our family picture last year, and took pics of the girlies earlier this year).

My favorite...his hair was so cool

Also, the girlies *did* have dark hair.  Not quite as thick as Milo's, but dark nonetheless.  Like his, theirs fell out within a couple of weeks.  His does seem to be coming in dark, so we'll see if it stays that way or goes blonde like theirs...

How Big Is Milo?

So Big!

2 Month Stats:

13lb 15.5oz

24.75 inches

He is the average weight of a 3 month old and the average height of a 4 month old!  No wonder his 3-6 month clothes are fitting quite snugly!  I imagine we'll have to break out the next size here soon.  The only "concern" Dr. Phelps had is that he doesn't try to lift his head when you pull up his arms when he's laying down...but followed that by telling me that it's common in 3rd babies because they're held so much and don't get the exercise that the first and possibly second do :)  So not a concern, and if the only problem we have is that Milo is held too much, we don't have a problem at all :)

More on this later, but today Maya had a *major* anger outburst.  Triggered by my telling her that we needed to leave a friend's house in a couple of minutes, she was screaming at me, even hit and kicked me (though when she did that I could tell it surprised even her).  I remained surprisingly calm through it, first removed her from the situation, and when that didn't work, took her outside to the car and asked her to get herself strapped in while I went back in to get Milo and Charlotte.  After she had calmed down, we were talking about what had happened and I asked her what she thought we could do differently next time so that it didn't happen again.  Her response?  "You could just not be so mean to me" :)  I'm totally mean to her all the time, as you can imagine, so I'll be working on that ;)
