G loves the swing he borrowed from his friend, KA!
Enjoying a spring day with daddy
Getting some exercise on his exercise mat.
Here he is checking out the new shades. They didn't last long.
Take a look at his Daddy's jersey, circa 1980s.
The smiles quickly turned to screams when he realized lunch was 30 seconds late.
1) Vocalization in the form of both cooing and screaming. T and I prefer the first to the second.
2) Smiling. I love this. I swear it's not just gas. Starting about three weeks ago he really smiles back when you smile at him.
3) Focusing his eyes on an object like a face, rattle, etc... It is especially great when he combines #3 with #2.
4) Controlling his head for brief periods of time.
Some points from Baby G's two month appointment
1) He's 12lb 10oz, 23.5 inches long.
2) He's 75th percentile in both height and weight, and his head is in the 30th percentile. Huh? Interestingly, his head started out in the 90th percentile when he was born. Again...huh?
3) The blocked tear duct in his left eye is still an issue. We're hoping it will work itself out soon.
4) He took his two month shots like a champ.
Lessons I've learned from my short time of being a parent
1) Stay humble and alert when changing diapers. Everytime I get a little too cocky about my diaper changing skills, Baby G pees on me.
2) Our daily rountine and life is not about T and me any more, but it can't be ALL about Baby G either. There has to be balance. Note: I'm still working on finding the balance.
3) I feel most empowered when I view parenting as a problem solving task that demands creativity and flexibility.
4) Burp cloths and bibs are no longer optional.
5) I've learned to expect change when we feel that we are getting into a routine or rthym.
