I am getting bigger and bigger every day. I just had a doctor appointment and weighed in at 10 pounds, 6 ounces, 22 inches and a 38 cm head. I am in the 50-60th percentile at my adjusted age of 1.5 months so I am catching up to all my new baby friends like Scarlett and Ruby. My early intervention worker also did another assessment on me and I have some new goals like opening my hands more, working on my neck strength and tracking things with my eyes. She will come see me every other week to see how I'm doing and Mom, Dad and I will practice these skills at home. These days I'm more awake during the day, I have real tears and a louder cry when I cry, I look at Mom and Dad and smile, I kick my legs and I try my best to make sounds. I really enjoy the outdoors and fresh air, I like riding in the car and the stroller, I love being sung too and when mom pretends to clap my hands together and says "Yaaaaaay!" She's very protective of me and kisses me A LOT. Probably a little too much but I won't tell her that until I'm in middle school.
I took my first ride on the T and bus and that was quite an adventure. I met my Aunt Megan who lives in NYC and she's super fun. I attended my friend's, Hillary and Oliver, baptism because Mom is Hillary's Godmother. That was fun for me but not so much fun for Dad whom I pooped all over and made a huge mess on his pants and in mine! My Grandma Metz also came to visit me last week and I really love her. She is very gentle and talks to me in a nice voice a lot. My Kung Kung and Grammy and Tia have also watched me so Mom and Dad can have more "adult time" and keep the romance alive. It's nice to have so many great people in my life.
My next big adventure will be an 8 hour car ride to Snyder Beach to see Grandma, Grandpa and finally meet my Great Grandma Fries! I hear she's a firecracker so we'll get along great. We both don't have any teeth these days so we will be kindred spirits together.
Until next time....
