Update on the kids
Rebecca had her 2 month check-up today. She is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 90th for height. She was so happy for the doctor but then had to get 4 shots. Poor baby has been so upset all afternoon/evening.
She continues to be a great sleeper, especially at night. She's usually exhausted by 7pm or so and will sleep soundly until 4 or 5 and then has a quick bottle and goes back to sleep until 7 or 8. She's having a harder time napping during the day though. She falls asleep easily but has trouble staying asleep. I remember Ben doing the same thing at this age. I feel like I'm constantly trying to stretch out her naps by putting the pacifier back in her mouth, etc.
She also started rolling over onto her belly while being swaddled yesterday! Unfortunately this means I can't keep her arms in the swaddle anymore. It didn't seem to affect her last night though. The funny thing is that she doesn't roll onto her belly while not swaddled.
She is a very smiley baby and loves to watch Ben play. She's also cooing a lot which is so cute!
Ben has turned into a big kid all of a sudden! His speech is really coming along. We are starting to hear B, M and a few P's. Those are the last sounds that he is struggling with so this is major progress. His speech therapist said once he gets these sounds down he won't need speech therapy anymore. Amazing! He continues to make us laugh all the time with the funny things he says. Tonight while I was reading his books before bed he said to me "I love you, Happy Mother's Day. How 'bout on Saturday Daddy and Rebecca will stay home and Mommy and Ben will go to the place where they say yay for moms". I have no idea what place he's talking about but sounds good to me!
Ben started swimming lessons and has already come a long way in terms of his comfort level in the water. A few weeks ago it was a struggle to get him in the water and now he's putting his face in and floating. We're working on riding his bike - he can pedal the tricycle with a little help getting started but the bike is harder for him.
He went to his first movie with Daddy yesterday. They went to see The Croods and he loved it! I was very surprised that he made it through the whole movie but he did. They even stayed until the end of the credits and then Ben clapped. He's been talking about it non-stop since they got home. Telling me all about the "giant tv" and how it was dark and they had to be quiet.

Silly Ben
Ben has really been making me laugh lately with some of the funny things he says...
Tuesday after school he told me he wanted to go to "the bowling alley, Chick Fil A or Five Guys but NOT the dentist".
This morning he was playing with Rebecca in her bouncy seat and he told me she was talking to him. I asked him if she said goo goo, ga ga to him and he said "Oh, Lady Gaga! I like that song".
He said Rebecca wanted to eat a waffle for breakfast too so I told him she doesn't eat food, just milk because she doesn't have any teeth. He went up to her face and said "Rebecca, say ahhh" so he could see that she didn't have teeth.
He keeps asking me to play Call Me Maybe on my phone, but he calls it "Call Me Old Navy".
Josh went to Seattle last week and Ben told me he wanted to "See an owl too"
At Rebecca's doctor appointment the doctor told Ben he was cute. He said "I'm not cute, I'm a big boy. I'm handsome".

Becca Smiles
Rebecca started smiling socially yesterday at 6 weeks and 1 day. With my shaky hands and her moving around it's nearly impossible to get good pictures of her with my phone. In the last picture she is laughing at Ben talking to her.
