Luna turns 2!

5/21/2012

Luna turned 2 on May 13th!  And what better day to celebrate her birthday than Mother's Day!  My mom is still in Oklahoma City with my grandfather whose been sick, but we were so glad my dad was in town with my step-mom.  They took us out for a nice Mother's Day Brunch at La Duni and my sister was able to meet us as well.  Brunch was super yummy and when they brought dessert, they put a candle in the chocolate cake for Luna to blow out!  I have to say she's had a really good birthday this year, with her Elmo party, lots of family in town and of course lots of toys.  Spoiled? Nawh...

She had her 2 year check-up appointment on 5/17 and here are her stats:

Weight: 24 pounds (with clothes and shoes on), 23 without (still around 15-20th percentile)
Height: 33.5 inches (around 50th percentile)

Dr. Deuber said she is doing great and developing well.  We will continue to give her 2% milk which we switched to 3 months ago.  My mom said back in the day, she was told never to give whole milk to kids, but now they recommend it the first year, and then switching to 2% after they turn 2- due to the obesity epidemic in kids.

She also hit the nail on the head with Luna's diet- some weeks she may just love something like strawberries, and then the next week turn her nose up at them!  That is definitely Luna.

As for potty training, we are still waiting on that and Dr. Deuber agreed.  She said if Luna can come up to me and say she needs to go potty and pull down her pants and go, then she is ready.  Luna is definitely not there yet. She can tell me she has gone or needs to go poop, and sometimes before bath time will sit on the potty and go on her own, but we for sure have a ways to go!  Don't worry, I'm in no rush.  I don't want to push it and have a power struggle on my hands or have it turn into a medical issue :(

Other than that, Luna is right on track and saying new words every day.  She is also loving saying her favorite toddler word, 'no' right now :)

This week I took Luna to a couple of fun activities and to have some Mommy and Me time, as well as things with Todd as our last family of 3 days come to an end soon.  Here are a few shots of some the fun times!
Luna at Monster Yogurt!  It just opened in Casa Linda and is a great yogurt place that has an indoor playground!! Need I say more?  They had me at indoor playground.  We will be here probably each week this summer to cool off for sure :)

I also took Luna to a super fun story time at Whole Foods (the Park Lane location) on Tuesday at 10am.  They meet each week at the same time, and they provide free snacks for the kids. And the good stuff too like fresh blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, cheese cubes, bunny grahams, organic juice boxes and Horizon milk.  Then she read Where the Wild Things Are, then we made a craft of little Wild Thing puppets and little Max puppets. It was so much fun, I don't know why we didn't go before!

Baby Girl Sprinkle

Last Wednesday, my playgroup girls threw me a super amazing Sprinkle/Playdate!  I am so happy to have such a great group of mom friends and love getting together with them. They were so generous to give me all the necessities like diapers, wipes and some cute baby girl things!  And there are so many moms in my group that just had their second babies or are pregnant and about to have their seconds! This summer and fall we are going to be one big toddler and baby group.
And I am so glad my friend Bao moved into the neighborhood and joined our PTA and hosted the event too :)  We had a lot of fun!
The cupcakes went fast! Yum.......

Week 37!

Week 37 with Baby # 2                                    Week 36 with Luna
I can't believe I am 37 weeks! I have 1 more week to go, but technically if carrying to full term would have 3 more weeks.  They are going to induce me around week 38 which is next week, sometime around May 21st-25th.  They are afraid the baby may not grow so well starting at week 38 and safer to get her out then.  I am still delivering at the Birth Center, and they use a few other methods like breaking your water, cervix ripening methods, etc. and don't use Pitocin, but if I don't progress, then they would move me across the street to Baylor for that.  Sooo, that means this week I am doing a lot of walking to get that baby moving on her own!  Luckily my midwife thinks baby #2 is going to come fast, so she is more worried about us getting there and not having her in the car, than anything else.  If you remember, Luna came in 1.5 hours and second babies come even faster, so let's hope it's another quick one!

Birthday Party for Ellie

5/12/2012

Luna's friend Ellie had a fun birthday party at Caruth park on Saturday as she turned 2.  We met her mommy Camille through our friend Heather and Jack and then coincidentally she is also in my MOPS group and Luna and Ellie are in the same playgroup there.  Ellie is going to be a big sister soon, as her mom and dad, Scott, are expecting any day.  Baby #2 is baby Adeline and we can't wait to meet her!  Camille is being induced on May 16th and unfortunately Addie will be born with a heart defect.  We have all been thinking and praying for her, as she will be transferred to Children's after she is born for heart surgery.  Please be thinking of Addie and her family these next few months!!!

Luna's 2nd Birthday Party

5/5/2012

0 Comments

 
We celebrated Luna's 2nd birthday on Saturday at the Scottish Rite Playground.  We had an Elmo themed party since it's her favorite character these days!  She had a blast running all over the place and I was lucky to have family to watch her while my 9 month pregnant self rested in the shade. 

I was so happy with the location too!  The park is fenced in, has padding on the floor, and has a nice covered pavilion with picnic tables as well as an ice machine, fridge and microwave.  I'm also glad I kept it low key and at a park, I didn't have to clean my house or pick up!  The fun part was making the Elmo visors, and gluing together the labels I printed off for her bubbles and cupcake toppers.  It's my one time of the year to get crafty (thanks also to Etsy) :)  Luna had so much fun, she had a nice long 3 hour nap!

We took Luna to the arboretum last Wednesday afternoon and had a little picnic.  Luna loved running around and chasing the bubbles while eating her peanut butter sandwich!  They also started setting up the Chihuly exhibit and it's going to be amazing!
