The Weigh In: Part Two

Truman weighed in at 14lbs at his 3 month appointment, he is growing to be such a big boy. He is also quite long, at 64cm. He is almost too long for his car seat, which makes me incredibly sad. This time we have together has been moving too quickly.

Here's what we have been up to! This week we have been getting ready for our upcoming trip to Florida. Packing is posing quite a challenge, but I think we will manage. Truman is taking up one huge piece of luggage for his own things! Today we will be going to yoga and then off to run some errands to get ready for our flight on Saturday.

Last night we spoke to our cousins Sabrina and Mary in New York to make plans for our visit in December. I can't wait to take Truman to the big apple. 5th Avenue here we come...

Yesterday we went to baby massage with Rebecca, Jake, Bronna and Macayla. Truman was being such a good boy today - smiling and talking away...no fussing. I'm thinking back to a few weeks ago when we would go to classes and he would only feed and fuss, now he has become quite an interactive boy. He seemed to enjoy the massage so much he fell right asleep after class.

On Tuesday night I had my first night out alone without Truman and Jerry. Tina and I took Misty to see Chicago for her 30th birthday. Although I thought about him a lot I made it through the night (and with only two phone calls!).

Here's a picture of Truman sitting in his Bumbo...as you can see we have a slight swift breeze in the house! I am hoping soon Truman will be able to sit up straight!

Truman goes to work

Truman and I visited my work on Monday. Truman got to see my office and meet all of my work colleagues. He was a really good boy and liked to smile at everyone, especially Sonia who got an extra big smile! Maybe if i keep exposing Truman to the hospital he'll want to be a doctor! In the attached picture auntie Lana is holding Truman while he shows off his hat from his uncle Pat. He's ready for winter.

Last night we went to visit Wawa and David, we were so excited to hear all about Truman's cousin Joachim. He sounds like such a sweet boy and sure has a place in Wawa's heart. Truman is a little jealous and is looking forward to spending more time with Wawa on Sunday.

Today Truman and I will be going to the movies together for the first time. We'll be meeting up with Rebecca, Jake, Bronna and Macalya. It should be fun.

Sushi Time!

Sunday night Truman and I met with Bronna, Jeff and Macayla; Ryan, Rebecca and Jake; and Ben and Liana for sushi. This was the first time I have had sushi since I was pregnant - it was delicious! How I missed Japanese food. A special thank you to Ryan for being Truman's substitute father. I appreciate you helping him fall asleep while I finished my meal! Again, all three kids were great...they sure do show well! Macayla and Truman spent the night talking and flirting with one another.

Earlier in the day, Truman met up with his friends Ethan, Olivia and Christine at the Pickle Barrel for lunch. It was great seeing everyone again. Truman enjoyed being passed around and being social - he is such a curious fellow.

On Saturday night Truman, Jerry and I had a lovely time at Lana and Mario's wedding party! We missed seeing Skitchy, hopefully we'll see her at our next visit!

Welcome Joachim!

Truman wanted to post a special announcement for his little cousin. Joachim was born October 24th and weighed 4.4 kg. What a cutie! He looks just like his father.

Ania and Wolf are doing great and sounds as though they are thoroughly enjoying parenthood.

We cannot wait to meet Joachim in January!

I'm a big boy now!

Last night, we visited our good friends the Sullivans. Little Ethan and Olivia were wonderful as always and much time was spent discussing our upcoming trip together to Florida. Truman has had quite a busy weekend (as always!), he was in dad's office twice working on some research that needed to be done asap. He also spent some time shopping as he had to exchange his new jacket as a button had fallen off.

On another note, little Truman has learned to laugh out loud and smile. His days are now filled with ear to ear grins, and he's even sleeping better as well. Next week he should be ready to take Morrie for his first walk by himself.

Morrie has also really just discovered Truman. They are starting to play together (in that Morrie wants to play with him), and the other day Truman got his first I love You licks from Morrie. Yes baba, we did wash his hands right away!
