Dr. Visit & Milestones!

Well, Alistair had his 2 month visit this morning...actually, I couldn't get him in until the end of NOV, so I scheduled a "weight check" and then asked for all the 2 month stuff when we got there! Oooooo.... tricky, tricky, Mommy! Well, it worked and they went ahead and gave him his shots and check-up for me! HAHA!

Our little weed is 13 lbs, 2 oz and 24 inches long! That's the 91st percentile for height and weight! He got 3 shots and 1 oral vaccination today, too. Poor boy was a trooper! Of course, he cried a little, but as soon as his mommy picked him up he stopped and before we got downstairs to pick up prescriptions he was asleep!

More good news! He's reaching all his major milestones!!!! We are so proud of him! He can roll from his back to his side, smiles, coos, giggles, blows bubbles, focuses his eyes on toys and faces, he moves his arms and legs smoothly now and he holds his head up nicely, although it's still a bit wobley when he's tired. He recognizes Mommy and Daddy and is now VERY vocal at the sound of our voices, saying "ahh" for us!

There are going to be a lot of big events soon as we get ready to move in NOV.....a HUGE adventure for all of us. So, we'll keep the stories, pictures and videos coming!

SLEEPING SOUNDLY AFTER A TRAUMATIC MORNING:

Grandma & Aunt Connie Visit

Alistair's Grandma Centric and Great Aunt Connie came to visit last weekend! It was a treat for EVERYONE! It was more than wonderful to see my mom and godmother, but it was especially amazing to introduce them to Alistair. I just loved watching them gush over him and seeing how proud they are. It was a beautiful weekend....and all too short.


GRANDMA IS BOUNCING THE BURPS OUT.....she's better at this than Mommy is!


I LOVE MY AUNT CONNIE


USUALLY, WHEN SOMEONE PASSES OUT LIKE THIS, WE WOULD DRAW THINGS ON THEIR FACE WITH A SHARPIE. BUT ALISTAIR IS SO CUTE, WE JUST TAKE PICTURES!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hurray! Today is Alistair's 1 month birthday! Can you believe it?! I still can't believe he's here, let alone 1 month old already! He is doing so well and so are Mommy and Daddy. We sort of "fell" into this family thing pretty naturally and it all just feels so RIGHT! Alistair was suppossed to be here, our life is fulfilled and HAPPY! I am overwhelmed everyday by the love I feel for my family. "Amazing" does not begin to describe it!

Alistair had his 1 month weight check yesterday. He is 11 lbs. 3 oz and 23 inches long! He is healthy and growing well.


BIIIIIGGGGG BLUES!


MOMMY LOVE!


LOOK! I'VE DISCOVERED MY TONGUE!
