Waiting for Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa Sharabura are coming to visit tomorrow. We're almost ready for them. With 4 dogs, there is always a bit of last minute cleaning required before visitors come.

Dougie has been doing well. The eye infection he had last week seems to be clearing up nicely so we're really happy about that. We want him to be at his best when he meets his grandparents for the first time. His tummy has been a bit off again but we're hoping that's just a phase and it will go back to normal soon.

Here are a few recent pictures of our little man.

Daddy/Dougie Napping

After we got up this morning, Dougie and Scott decided they needed a nap.

Dougie Rolling - As Promised

This Time, It Counts!

Dougie is rolling over again. He did it 4 times today. So, it's official, our little boy can roll! We'll try to get a video posted soon.

Eye Troubles

Dougie went to the doctor again today. He's been tearing a lot and had some goo in his eyes. Turns out, he has a blocked tear ducts and an infection in one of his eyes. We picked up some cream that should clear up the infection and the ducts should open themselves in a few months. Dougie doesn't seem bothered by it which is good.

Real People Clothes

We're making an effort to start dressing Dougie in "real people clothes" when we go out. We didn't have a lot of clothes that fit him that weren't onesies so it was hard but now that he's a bit bigger, our options have increased.

Because Mum Loves the Sunglasses

Hockey Night in Texas

The fight has begun for Dougie's hockey loyalties...

I'm doing what I can to cultivate a proper love for the Montreal Canadiens. Grandpa and Uncle Mike are likely to start on a Bruins indoctrination. But it looks like great-uncle Dan and great-aunt Judy have landed the first punch...



Someday -- someday -- he will fill out this jersey.

Two Month Check-up

We've just returned from Dougie's 2 month check-up. He did really well.

Stats:

• Weight - 9lbs 1oz (10%)
• Height - 22 1/4" (25%)
• Head - 15" (10%)

It looks like he is growing right along the curve which is wonderful. He has shot up in height though. At his 2 week check-up, he was only in the 10th percentile for height. We have hit all of the 2 month developmental milestones and all but 1 of the 4 month milestone so he's doing really well.

We got some vaccinations today as well (HepB and DTaP). We are slowly introducing vaccinations but plan to get them all done.

Dougie got this chair from "Big Doug" (a co-worker of Scott's) and his wife, Michelle. He can't quite sit in it by himself but we thought it was so cute we had to take some pictures.

Re: Coolest Baby on the Block

Is it just me, or does our little Dougie look like he's been smoking something funny?

His sleep schedule has been a bit messed up over the last little while -- he can nap in the morning, but he can really stay up quite late into the night without getting tired. I think he's taking after his Uncle Mike.

Grandma and Grandpa (Sharabura) are visiting in a couple of weeks, which will be exciting! We'll be sure to post photos.

Coolest Baby on the Block

We walk every day but the sun has been bothering Dougie's eyes. So, we got him some sunglasses. He looks so cool in them.

Dougie and Dad

I had to post this picture because I think it's just too cute.



Nothing like a little Daddy/Dougie time.

Joined MOMS Club

I've decided to join MOMS International. It's a club for stay-at-home and work-at-home mothers. They arrange several activities during the week to get moms and kids out. It should allow us meet other mothers and babies in the area. We're even going to join a playgroup. Hopefully, we'll be able to start attending things next week.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Dougie loves his gym mat. We try to get him on it twice a day for tummy time.
