Well, Mom & Dad sure travel a lot, so I guess I should have known that they'd be taking me on a plane too. It's tough to travel light with a baby - check out all of the stuff that we brought (and that doesn't even include my stroller!) I actually didn't love my first plane trip - I think it was because it was packed, and it was SO hot. I didn't really want to just sit in our seat, so I made mom walk around with me a lot.... By the end, I got used to it though, and it was actually kind of fun. Good thing, because I have 3 more plane rides coming up in the next week! Maybe I'll just sleep next time - seems a lot easier.
Today I went to see my pediatrician, Dr. Kristin Collins, for my 2-month visit. As you can see, I really like her a lot. She says I'm doing great - I'm a little taller than average, and I'm about average weight. I'll spare you the details on all those "percentiles", since it's probably a little boring (except to my parents - they seemed to find it totally fascinating). But she says I look just great, and that I am very responsive and very easygoing. She says my parents are lucky! I will admit that this picture was taken BEFORE the 5 shots I got in my leg... I was definitely NOT happy or easygoing with that part.
My mom and dad took me down the road to Hood River to meet my new baby cousin Teagan. She was born just 9 days ago, on March 6th. Her dad, Matt, is my dad's cousin. Teagan was born 3 weeks early, so she was pretty small - only 5 lbs, 5 oz. I actually thought I was still small - but then I saw her. Now I know that I'm pretty much an adult. I am huge!
Today it was raining when I woke up, for the second day in a row. I really don't like it when it rains - yes, I know I live in Portland, but it's been nice most of the time this winter. So, even though it was rainy, we decided to go on a hike in Forest Park. My mom LOVES Forest Park - lots of trails to hike and run on. We went with my friend Sophia, her mom Christy, and their dog Mazie. The dogs were CRAZY - running all over the place. It was super fun - and we didn't even get rained on!
My activity gym is normally pretty fun - lots of stuff to look at and play with. Usually, I play in it a few times a day. This morning, I got up, ate breakfast, and started hanging out here, still in my pajamas. I was asleep within minutes - I want my money back on this thing.
You might remember that I don't always love the bath. So lately, Dad has been taking me into the shower with him, which I like a little better. Afterwards, I LOVE to be wrapped in my hooded towel - that's the best part.
Last night I decided I'd give my parents the best present ever: I slept the whole night! Yup, they put me in my crib at 9:45 p.m., and I didn't get up until 5:45 this morning. That's the other thing - it seems I've been banished from the cozy bassinet in Mom & Dad's room to my OWN crib, in my OWN room. I guess that's because I'm a really loud sleeper. I go through my entire repertoire of noises pretty much all night long, and when I was sleeping with them, we would all wake up a lot. Once I wasn't in there anymore, we all slept much better. If I ever wake up, I guess I just look around a little, and go back to sleep. Mom & Dad can definitely hear me if I cry - but they don't hear me every time I move. You know, I do like it in my room - it's kind of cool to be on my own.
I can't wait for Morgan to babysit for me. She's only 9 right now, so it will be a few years, but I already know how great she's going to be. She also LOVES to read to me, and by then, I'll probably be able to understand what she's saying a little better.
