Last weekend found us escaping to Bill’s Northwoods cabin once again. This time, we actually spent two nights (rare for us with the shop schedule such as it is) due to the holiday weekend. We (Patrick, me, Ayden, Chad, Bill and Beau) met Michael, Catherine, Enzo and Molly up there on Saturday afternoon. We did a whole lot of nothing, which is exactly what we’d hoped for. And by nothing, I mean a couple of hikes, several great meals, lots of good chit chat, and ample relaxation time. All in all it was just what the doctor ordered. As always, there are lots of good photos to check out in September’s new gallery. Enjoy!
In other news, Ayden had his 2-month doctor visit on Tuesday. It would have been quite pleasant, if not for the FOUR shots he had to have - two in each leg. Needless to say, he was NOT a happy camper. However, we’re happy to report that he checked out on track and healthy, weighing in at 11lbs 13oz, 22 inches long, 40cm head circumference, and cute as a bug! It’s kind of funny to note that Patrick and I had made bets with eachother before the appointment about Ayden’s weight. I guessed 13lbs 13oz and Patrick was in the 14lb range. Wow, were we off! The doc said that’s pretty common among parents, since the babies just seem HUGE compared with the day they’re born. It’s hard to believe that Ayden is still smaller than some babies are when they are newborn! Yikes! Glad I’m not the mother of those children!
Love the ‘No kisses Mommy’ pic!! But the bandaids…ouch! Poor little guy.
Ayden has changed SO much!!! Enjoy him while he’s “little.”
I agree with Dodo on the “No kisses Mommy” picture. That one is priceless! I love the close-ups.
Oh and in the “Shots” picture you know he is thinking, “I am crying and you think NOW is a good time to take my picture??”
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
About the shots thing, some pediatricians/nurses will allow you to nurse your baby during immunizations, and it significantly boosts baby’s pain tolerance, lessens crying, enhances trust… the power of the boob.
