baby stats

We had check ups today for both of the boys. Going to the doctor for shots is not fun. But 3 shots for Ronan, 1 for Collin and lab work later, we are home and napping.

At 2 years Collin weighs 27.6 pounds and is 32 inches tall. He is doing everything that he is supposed to be doing at his age. Way to go Collin! He is able to follow 2 step directions, and ask questions such as "where it go?" He runs, jumps and climbs on everything, and can put up to 4 sometimes 5 words together. His longest sentence is "Mommy, sit down right there." He's pretty bossy and particular about the way you sit when you are playing. My favorite sentence however, is "I love you mommy" which sounds more like "I uv oo mommy". Too sweet. He is totally obsessed with sports and is constantly wanted to throw or kick balls around the house. Not to mention he loves to wrestle with his little brother. Luckily, Ronan usually thinks it's funny.
I can't believe how quickly 2 years has flown by, and how much my baby has changed in that time. He is so much fun to be around. And though he makes me tired and crazy at times, I can't imagine my life without him.
I hope to get some better pictures of Collin. He was more interested in playing with cars.

Ronan is now 6 months old. He weighs 17 pounds/50th %, is 26.5 inches tall/40th% and his head is 18inches/92nd %. The Berry's are known for having big heads!
Ronan now has one tooth and his diligently working on his 2nd. He is able to sit unsupported for short periods of time, and is almost able to crawl. He is doing the army crawl all over the house, but hasn't quite figured out how to move his arms and legs without falling down. He is full of smiles 90% of his awake time and is wanting to eat or sleep the other 10%. He is not yet sleeping through the night, which is driving me bonkers, but he'll get there. He still wakes up twice a night, sometimes once before midnight. Dan has started rocking him back to sleep if he awakes before midnight so that hopefully he will quick waking up to eat. Collin started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks, so 6 months has been a long haul for us.
Having 2 children has been so much fun. It's exhausting for sure, but there is so much joy in it. I love my boys!
