The Klestinski Fam: 2 Months Old Already!?!

Wow...time sure flies!! Matthias had his 2 month check-up last Thursday (the 3rd). He weighed 13 lbs. 4 oz. and was 22 3/4 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile on weight and slightly below the 50th on height. I wasn't surprised though...Justus was the same exact way until he hit about 6 months. He's getting big though. He also had to get his first set of shots. He did pretty good with them, but was pretty cranky the rest of the day. He ended up sleeping from about 10 p.m. - 5 a.m., so that was kind of nice. He has consistently been skipping a feeding, so usually his first feeding is between 3-4 a.m. It's nice to only have to get up once in the middle of the night instead of 2-3 times.

So we think that Justus has learned his first word...."mama". He says it to me sometimes when I have something that he wants or he wants my attention. It's hard to distinguish though when he is saying "mama" and when he is just babbling though. There have been several times that he has used the word in the right context though. It's pretty exciting to hear him say it! Jon and I have also been working with him in stacking blocks. He is getting pretty good. He understands what we are doing, and tries to stack the blocks. When we first started he would just kind of throw the block, but now he is actually setting the blocks on top of each other. He also has a giraffe that you can drop blocks into, and there is a door at the bottom that if you open they all come tumbling out...well, he has learned how to drop the blocks down, and open the door. It is so amazing to watch him discover and learn new things!! One last bit of Justus news...we have started brushing his teeth. We probably should have started way before now, but he didn't get his first tooth until the beginning of October...he now has six!! He is okay with the whole teeth brushing thing...he thinks it's kind of funny. He likes to "eat" the toothbrush though. He's getting the hang of it though.

Not much else is new. I went and applied for Matthias Social Security number today, which was just craziness, but he should have a number within a couple of weeks : ). Here are a few new pictures of the boys...
