I can't believe that Mary Catherine is two months old today! She has grown so much. She weighs 11 lbs 4 oz and is 22 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile in both height and weight. She is smiling a lot and is starting to coo. Her face will just light up - you can just see the joy coming thru her eyes. Such a humbling experience seeing the pure and innocent joy beam from her.
Ella started running a fever yesterday, so she stayed home from school today. She went with us to the doctor. When it was time for Mary Catherine to get her shots, I asked Ella if she wanted to stay in the room or go out into the hallway. She opted for the hallway. I explained to her that she would hear MC cry really loud but that the nurse wasn't going to hurt her - it was all so that she wouldn't get sick. She covered her ears and I walked back to the room. As I held MC's hands, Ms. Tiffany, the nurse, gave MC her shots. She cried really loud, tears were burning my eyes. Then I glanced over at the door. Ella was peaking her head thru, hands on her ears and pain in her eyes from hearing her sisters cries. She said that she was sad that her sister was crying.
