Two Months

Sahana had her two-month doctor visit today. She weighs 12 lbs 2 oz and is 23 1/2 in tall. She's as tall as Paras was at 2 months. She was great during the visit except when she got the first round of vaccines, when she realized that Mommy and Daddy had totally forsaken her. Here's a comparison of her from 2 weeks till now (with the same flowered pants for perspective):





Sahana's a total sleeper cell and we're proud of her. Paras, meanwhile, has started waking up from nightmares, which is not surprising since he is scared of everything. Birds, bugs, lawnmowers, water, you name it. I thought it was normal but when we told the pediatrician he was surprised that Paras was so fearful at such a young age, so now I'm a little worried. We're dreading the plane trip to Dallas next week, because I'm positive that is going to set off a panic attack. We're going to try a test dose of Benadryl tomorrow to see whether that has an, uh, calming effect on the guy. The teachers at school think that it's a sign of an active imagination -- which is possible, since he is a really smart kid. Here he is, "reading" one of his books (Sorry his head is cut off, for some reason the published video makes the screen smaller):
