New pics

I've been a delinquent blogger lately. My apologies.

To try and buy your forgiveness, here are the latest pics of Aaron.

Watching Baby Einstein

It's been a while!

So what? We've been busy! No new posts in almost a week. My deepest apologies!

This week promises to be very boring, which I'm glad of. We were all over hells half acre last week. Doctor's appointments, lunches, visiting with old friends. We need a week of routine.

Oh, did I mention Aaron slept through the night last night? We got home from my parents place around 9:30 and we put him right to bed. We didn't hear a peep from him until around 6:30. Holy crapola! That was fantastic. Of course, I was wide awake around 3am listening for noises on the monitor. Sigh.

And onto the good stuff.

My family at a wedding this past Saturday. (A was with his Grandma C)

Aaron's newest pasttime: Chewing his fingers

Playing is hard work.

A day at the splashpad

A good friend of mine from work, and some other co-workers were getting together this morning with their kids at the local splash pad. It was my first "mommy and me" playdate. Aaron's too, of course. :)

It was so nice to get out and talk to friends, get some sunshine, and watch the kids play at the park/splash pad. Aaron of course, is too young to enjoy, so we just chilled in the shade, and he took it all in.

Here are some pics from today. I'm obviously not putting pics of the other kids as I don't have their parents permission... but take my word for it... they were C-U-T-E.

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.
