Acacia is 2 weeks old. Yesterday morning we went into Dr. Cole's office for her 2 week checkup. She weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and has already grown 2 inches(22.5 inches). She is 95% on length and 75% on weight. Perfect! The nurse poked her foot to get blood test and overall she did very well. Dr. Cole said she is perfect in anyway. Her next appointment is 2 month checkup when she will get more shots and we will also talk about her getting a sonogram to check her kidneys since she has an ear tag near her left ear.
Timothy also had his 4 year old checkup, he passed eye exam and hearing exam. It's very cute to see him raise his hand when he heard the beeping sound from the testing machine.
He also got 3 big shots (2 on left thigh and 1 on right thigh). At first he was a little nervous about the shots but after daddy talked to him he was all pumped up and even said "I want to see how painful the shots are!!" He did so well even the nurse was impressed. He didn't cry at all and was super brave. 
We were all very proud of him. He won't need shots until he is 12 years old. 
Timothy weighed 38 lbs and was 105 cms tall, percentage wise he is not on the high end. But we are not worried because he is just a healthy and smart 4.5 year old.We switched our pediatritian from Dr. Daniel to Dr.Cole. Dr. Daniel was great but I didn't like how we always have to wait a long time to get an appointment for wellness checkups. Dr. Cole is a woman and I feel better for a woman doctor to see Acacia for her childhood years and for convenience matter we also switched our boys to see Dr. Cole. I actually felt a little sad about this but after seeing how patient Dr. Cole was with Timothy, I felt it's a good decision.
Many brothers and sisters and friends have come to visit Acacia during the last week. We got mostly girl clothes and some diapers. Everyone said Acacia is a beautiful baby. Of course her daddy and I think so too but we are biased.
Today is Father's day in Taiwan. I called my dad last night and it's actually been 2 weeks since I last talked to him. I can't wait to take Acacia home next summer for all the families there to see her!
This morning Daddy took the boys swimming so we had some quiet time at home. Acacia for some reason couldn't fall asleep the whole time, she pooped twice and nursed some and finally fell asleep. Looking at her bright eyes I was really thankful the Lord gave this special gift to us. A VERY welcome addition to our family. We all love her to pieces.
