2 MONTHS!!!!
"Welcome to your life. There's no turning back." - Tears for Fears, Everybody wants to rule the world.
So what, if anything, has happened over the past month?
He had his 2 month checkup the other day. So Jennifer calls me at work, and tells me that he's only in the 10th percentile for height. (if around 2:30 pm houston time on July 14 you heard the sound of something breaking, that may have been the sound of my dream of my eldest son making it to the NBA smashing into a million pieces). The good news was, that he was average for weight. Up to 10lbs 8oz now. Great. He's gonna be short and fat. No questions now on who the father is. (damn you Danny Devito)
He also got some booster shots. 2 pricks to one thigh, another prick to the other thigh. High volume screaming on both. Fortunately, the crying only lasted for a few minutes, and then he forgot about it. But because of the shots, the little guy caught a little fever that night, and was generally not very pleasant to be around. We gave him some infant tylenol for the fever and discomfort. Must be the sugar in the medicine, because it looked like he loved that stuff. I could almost hear him say, "this HAS to be that crack stuff I've been hearing so much about".
He's also not sleeping as much as he used to. His alert time is getting longer and longer. We like laying him down, and then making stupid faces at him. He smiles. I must admit its real cute. He enjoys studying people's faces. He'll start at your hairline, then make his way down, checking out the ears, and then the mouth (stick out your tongue), and finally eye contact.
Over the past month we got brave with taking him out of the house. Among other fabulous destinations, he went to church, took a long walk around Rice University, made a few trips to the grocery store, shopped at the Galleria, and a 4th of July BBQ at Uncle Paul's.
But the thing with this kid is that he keeps getting dates with girls. He saw Cars at the Alamo Drafthouse Crybaby Matinee with Mama and Auntie Angelica. He stayed awake for most of the movie, but surprisingly no fussing. (quiet applause)
A few days later he scored a lunch date with Mama and auntie Yung-Ju at LaMadeline.
The girls enjoy the generic french fare, he enjoys the smell of breast milk. Not surprisingly, he was uber fussy.
Next month, tequila shots at M Bar.

I hear that the running horns are looking for a short and fat guard. Keep training...he'll get there!
