12 Weeks

the 'full-body smile' is wonderful!   A full-body smile is just what the name implies; a smile that uses all of your baby's body. He may kick, wave his arms, and squeal. There will be no mistaking that he is happy. By the end of the first year, full-body smiles are pretty much over...so enjoy them while they last  :)


So enthralled by the discovery of his fingers this week.  Really examining those digits intensely, trying to figure out there use, while trying to force his entire fist down his throat. 


 Still trying to work through those little reflux moments, whereby mom goes running for cover when the projectile milk flies....gag!    I find myself singing 'The Reflex', by Duran Duran, remixed as the 'Reflux', to reflect the mood.
The doc says it's nothing to worry about, as long as he is gaining weight.  He now weighs a healthy 13 lbs, that was w/ clothes and diaper on...so give or take a few ounces.


About to embark on our first road trip w/ the little man....here we come Chicago!!
