2 month birthday!

My baby is 2 months old today.














Flirting with the camera.

Pediatrician appointment

Aaron had his pediatrician followup today because of his heart murmur that was detected when he was 2 days old.

First his stats: length:59.5 cm (was 55cm at birth) = 23.42 inches
weight 5.92kg=13.05 lbs (was 8lbs 9oz at birth)

Dr. M said he looks good, he's in 75%ile for weight and length. His sleeping and eating habits are good and he's met all his milestones.

He listened to his heart and said unless you were listening specifically for it, you wouldn't know it's there. It's very faint. That said, because it's still there, he wants us back in November to listen again. As soon as Dr.M can't detect it anymore, he'll send us for another echocardiogram to confirm it's grown over.

Big sigh of relief.

Busy week ahead

This week is going to be busy.

Aaron goes to see the pediatrician to have his heart murmur checked out. I'm hoping it's grown over and disappeared, or that it hasn't gotten worse. The latter terrifies me.

The next day he goes to see his GP for his 2 month shots. :( Mommy will be drinking heavily on Wednesday night, I have a feeling.

Then, Friday is his 2 month birthday. How time is just flying by. He's doing more and more new things everyday. It seems he's discovered his feet are attached to his body and he's kicking the toys on his playmat more. He's making new sounds, cute little coos and ga's. He's even started a little bit of giggling.

No new pics today, but there will definitely be a new one on Friday. :)

Bathtime fun

I couldn't resist posting this picture. Just after bathtime.

Snug as a Bug in a Rug/ Mommy Lesson

Mommy Lesson: Invest in a wrap of some kind. This is a sleepy wrap/moby wrap. Best.invention.ever. Not only are my hands free, Aaron is quiet and happy. Which makes mommy happy.

Here is A in his wrap. It's about the only way to get things done around here during the day sometimes. And today is one of those days.

He just wants to be on me, and not in his pack n play or crib. Even the bouncy chair doesn't appeal to him this morning.

The value of family

We had our final babyshower this weekend. My cousin and Aunt threw it for us and my Dad's cousins and Aunts were there. We were spoiled.rotten.yet.again. I swear I won't need to buy any clothes for A for a long LONG time.

We took some great pics. Having a new baby around makes you realize the value of family and extended family. I'm trying to get A's picture with as many of his relatives as possible. In particular, those who are getting on in years. Especially the first time he meets them. I think it's so important for him to know his family and extended family.

And perhaps the cutest shot of the day... Aaron in his very first Toronto Blue Jay's Cap.

Happy Canada Day!

Aaron and I spent Canada Day with my parents, as T was working most of the day. It got me out of the house for a change, and I hardly had to do anything for A as my mom took over for me. :)
