Desmond updates and the rest of us

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Okay so I haven’t been great about updating recently. I’ll blame the baby, plus an extremely busy May. We’ve basically had something to do every weekend this month and won’t slow down till June. Desmond has been great he is a wonderful baby.

I love his cloth diapers they are fairly easy to deal with, and the extra laundry isn’t too bad.

He is really alert now at 6 weeks old and tends to be up for about 6 to 8 hours a day at this point in time. He is starting to show interest in toys which is nice. His eyes are still blue as well. He rarely cries which is really appreciated, he seems to cry when he is either hungry or needs a diaper change.

So far he has been to the Hindu temple and blessed, to a friends wedding, and to my cousin’s graduation party. He has also been to a ton of restaurants and done really well there as well.

As for his growth he is up to about 12 pounds now and 23 inches (he was 11 pounds 23 inches at his month check up). He is a solid baby and really cute. We’re still semi debating which shots we’re starting with at his next appointment, I think we’re just going to start with the DTaP and do the Prenever and Polio shots/spray (or whatever the Polio one is) at 3 months.

We’re going to be taking the train up to NYC this weekend which should be interesting, we’ll see how he does on the train and then on Monday he and I are flying down to Atlanta to spend the week with my parents. We’re going to be going to the Aquarium one day, so he’ll get to look at all the fishies and we’re going to be at the lake house for a few days as well, we’ll probably take him out on the boat if the weather is nice.

Other then that, K-line is getting use to the intruder, and Dan and I are doing fairly well. Not much else going on especially without Desmond, since he is so little so where we go he gets to come along.

Now for a couple of semi-recent pictures:


This was tummy time


It’s a happy baby
