3 month checkup!

Today I went for my 3 month checkup. We found out that I am now 13lbs 8ozs (56th percentile) and 24.3 inches long (62nd percentile). My head circumference is 39.2cm (10th percentile). The doctor said that the small head is okay and nothing to be worried about and mommy reassured me that Einstein had a small head so I must be headed towards greatness..haha.

I got 2 shots (HIB and Hepatitis B - 2nd shot). Therefore, when my aunts all came over (Soojin, Beatrice and Agnes), I was a bit cranky and not my usual playful self. Hopefully I'll be better when I meet up with them next time. I was sad we couldn't have dinner at my great aunt's house but mom and dad had too much to prepare for their anniversary trip.

Mom and dad are now frantically packing away as I snooze before we leave for Puerto Rico. My first plane trip!! I can't wait....

Little kisses,
Matthew

Almost 3 months!

Long time no see everyone!! Life has been hectic as mommy finds more things for me to do and people for me to meet. Last Sunday, we had brunch with Elsa (Annie and Paul's daughter) and Jacob (Samir and Sheliza's son) at Dos Caminos. It was such a nice day that we all went for a stroll after brunch. Then after we came back, mom, dad and I went swimming in our pool. The water was a bit cold but I handled it well and even glided along in the pool with mommy and daddy. I even got to take a hot shower with daddy after to warm up! :)

This past Tuesday, I had playgroup and boy was it fun. We had a full house of about 10 mothers. I was the only one blabbing along but all my other baby friends are smiling now so its much more fun. Next time, mommy is going to take a picture of us all lined up so you can meet some of my friends!

I will be 3 months on Friday! Can you believe that? Time flies...sheesh.

Here I am enjoying my new attachment toy mom bought me to help with my coordination. If you look closely in my mouth it looks like 2 teeth, but its actually just milk I'm sloshing around in my mouth -- hee hee.

This is mommy trying to make me pose for a cute shot. However, I wasn't really in the mood to smile so mom had to deal with a cute but no smile shot under the covers. The next picture is me snoozing in my Bugaboo.

Look at me in the Bumbo! My neck is getting stronger and sitting up is getting a bit more stable as you can see.

Here I am practicing my neck muscles during tummy time on my new activity mat. My hair in front is also starting to grow in, although I have a strip of hair falling out in the back -- I hope it grows back soon! Do you see my drool in the second picture -- haha! Mom thinks I'm getting teeth soon as I keep drooling lately!

Today, I went to see mom's friend Anj and finally met Mia and Arianna. Here is Mia (2.5 years old) eating some nuts while I lend an ear. The next picture, Mia was consoling me telling me not to cry -- awww.

Here is Mia's younger sister, Arianna (7 months). You see, at first she wasn't interested, then she looked my direction.....

and just could not resist striking up a conversation...yeah, she wants me!

Tomorrow, I go in for my 3 month check up! I hope I gained some weight and hopefully my shots won't be so bad (I have 2! :(..). Also, I go on my first plane trip on Friday as mom and dad are celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary in Puerto Rico. I'm very excited to go swimming and go on some adventures finally!

My cousin, Leah is growing a lot. I really want to meet her as Uncle Dennis sent us a video of her. She's a great gal...and I gotta keep her real and tell her how it is in New York so she is reminded that life is not all about palm trees and sun.

Okay, time to go to bed.
