I'm a brave little boy

I had my 2 month doctor appointment yesterday where I received my first round of vaccinations. Mommy was dreading it for two weeks. She was very worried about me, but I kept telling her that I would be a brave little boy. Since Daddy had to work, Nina Elda went with us to provide support. I think she was actually there to provide support to Mommy rather than me. Dr Mike just opened his own practice last week and everyone was still learning their new system, so it took some time to be seen. When we finally got to see Dr Mike, Mommy had a million questions for him. I was a little embarrassed with all her questions, but I know she means well. I was upset when Dr Mike first started examining me because he woke me up. However, I soon settled down. Dr Mike said I am very healthy and am progressing nicely. He said that I'll be hitting many milestones very soon, so things should start to get exciting for everyone. I was starting to get very hungry because it was past my lunch time, but then the nurse came in to give me my vaccines. Mommy's heart started racing and I could see that the tears were going to start flowing, so I knew I could not cry. I did not cry while I got the shot, however I did let out a little yelp when they took the needle out. Mommy fed me right after we left the office, so I was happy again. We came home and I slept all afternoon. I don't know how long I can be brave because that really hurt. However, I'll do my best for our next appointment in February.

New Milestones - 1 Month to 2 Months

As I continue to grow, I impress Mommy and Daddy with my many milestones. I flashed my first smile on 12/22/09. It was my Christmas gift to Mommy and Daddy. Now I smile every morning. I also started talking with my coos. Dr Mike told Mommy to start putting lotion all over me after every bath, so I now get a massage every day. He also wants me to do tummy time, so if I’m in a good mood, I get on my surfboard mat and do tummy time. Mommy and Daddy have been taking me to eat with them at restaurants. Although I do not stay awake for the main course, Mommy is very nice to hold me while she eats her meal. I know Mommy and Daddy are excited for all my ‘first’ events, so we’ll keep you updated on my progress each month.

Happy New Year

I spent New Year's Eve with Mommy and Daddy at home. It was the perfect way to start off the new year with the two people I love the most. We ate sushi and had brownies for dessert. We watched a couple of movies and Mommy and I fell asleep at 10pm. Daddy woke Mommy up at 11:58pm so she can watch the countdown. They tried to wake me up, but even with all their kisses on my cheeks, there was no waking me up. Happy New Year to all my family and friends! I wish you health, happiness, and success in 2010.
