Turning 2
months was hard, I had to go to the pediatrician for my check-up and ended up
getting shots. Lucky for me, the nurse was great and held my hand and talked me
though it!
I weigh in at 13lbs and 5ounces and am 24 inches long already! My pediatrician says I am
in the 75th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for
height!
Here is my 2 month
picture...as you can see I have changed a lot since my 1 month
picture!
I started daycare on Aug.
5th...which I enjoy a lot and get so worried I might miss something I forget I
need to sleep during the day! (But I make up for it by sleeping all night!) I am
having fun, and am lucky because it is a small home daycare so there are not a
ton of kids there. Some days it is just me and one other child there, so I get a
lot of one-on-one time! The first morning of daycare I was so excited to go that
I threw up all over myself, and my mom! Of course, she had me in a "cute little
outfit" she had laid out for my first big day...which I had to change out of
since I got formula spit-up all over. So, she changed and I changed and we all
hit the road to daycare! I didn't stay a full day, as I was picked up by 2pm
since someone had a hard time leaving me...mom! But, she got the hang of it and
now it is a daily routine and I am enjoying being there with my new friends. My
daycare lady likes me a lot, and didn't want to see me leave for the weekend,
but I promised her I would be back after the weekend, and when I did she was so
excited she met me on the front steps of her house and said "Oh, D I missed you
soooo much!" (Yep, I think she loves
me!)
I went to my
first BBQ which was held at my house. All the high school and college players
from my mom and dad's rugby teams they coach came over to have an end of the
summer season BBQ. I of course was the star of the show, and they all loved me!
Here are the two captains from the college team holding me. (They call
themselves "The Godfathers" and say it in a cheesy Boston
accent!)
Another
baseball game....which was fun. I made it until the 7th inning before I fell
asleep, but woke up for the Friday Night Fireworks, and I wasn't even scared of
them! (Although, I fell asleep again shortly after they started, but I did see a
few of them!) The brats smelled good, but I wasn't allowed to have any, maybe
next summer I will get to try them.
I was the
assistant coach at another rugby game! It was a quick game, so I was able to
come and help out and I really enjoyed myself. Now that I am more alert, I was
cooing and smiling during the whole game. I received a lot of attention from the
high school girl's who were playing, and I am pretty sure they all love me
because they couldn't stop looking at me and saying "he is soooooo cute!" ha-ha
They even wanted me in their team picture!
My first Irish
Festival was this past weekend, and it was well...very Irish! We listened to
Irish music, walked around looking at all the merchandise and watched the Irish
dancers. I was dressed in a little green shirt to really fit in with the
occasion of the festival. We went right when it opened up at 9am, so there was
not a huge crowd, and the weather was perfect out.
I have figured out how to
smile (without it being a gassy smile!) and I like to "Cooo" now a lot! Some
days I can really talk up a storm and I smile a lot when I play peek-a-boo, when
my dog comes over by me, when my diaper is off, or when I am in the bathtub.
Everyone makes a big deal about me smiling and cooing, so I keep doing it as I
think it is funny when they get all excited over
me!
