And it was a good morning! After four days of constipation, we finally scored! Mommy was just as relieved as baby, I think. The rotovirus oral vaccine he got on Tues gave him diarrhea and then constipation. anyway, all better now! (as seen in the video below) Yesterday we finally had a summery day at 80 something degrees, and Aunt Amanda was visiting from Arizona, so we had a day at the park. Lots of fun!

Good Morning

Dr Visit

Yesterday we had our 2 month appt. The visit went well. Gabriel is now 10 lb 11oz and 22 1/2 in long. That puts him firmly in the 30th percentile for size, which is right on target. Its also a long way from the 6th percentile he was in during my last two weeks of pregnancy. Additionally, he got three shots and one oral vaccine at this visit. That made him very sensitive and cranky as the day wore on. He also got a mild fever, which seems to be gone now. He did pretty much sleep all day and night yesterday and is taking a longer than usual morning nap right now. So, we'll see what happens today. But overall, he took the shots well. He cried, but then was fine shortly after and slept soundly on the way home. I will try to post some new pictures soon.

Almost 2 Months old

I have caught him blowing bubbles, which is apparently a sign of strong language development skills. That isn't surprising being that he has been making noises from day one. His noises are evolving, though. Less grunting or throaty noises and more cooing, slurring, vowel sounds and laughter (sort-of). He's also been doing an excellent job of getting his fist to his mouth, as new photos and video will attest. He is also beginning to reject the pacifier a lot. And this is ok by mommy. He is still not grabbing onto toys yet, but we keep practicing. And we've discovered new uses for the boppy pillow - tummy time exercise and straight chillin' (see photos). AND he slept for 8 hours straight last night! wooohooo! ... and he's so cute!!!!
