10 weeks and my first boo-boo

Today, I turned 10 weeks. I have been reaching for my toys, and really love lights. I have also discovered my feet and my hands, and I know they are mine. :-) I still can't get my feet, but have been really good with bringing my hands to midline. I am also putting some weight on my forearm when on my tummy.

I'm a whole lot better of my stuffy nose. Recently, we have only been using the saline solution and the aspirator, and not even every day. I have been very gassy lately, and my mom is trying to understand the reason. I have been able to sleep for up to 6 hrs lately, and when we have a good night, I go to bed around 8 pm, up at 2 am, and then up at 6 am. However, on bad nights, normally due to gas, I can wake up every hour after I feed in the middle of the night.

My mom trimmed my nails today with the nail clipper. Up until now, she had been only peeling my nails, as they were very soft. Well, while my mom was trimming them, she took a little "bite" off my thumb. I didn't feel it at all (to my mom's surprise), but she felt horrible.

My first boo-boo

my first swim (well, sort of)

Yesterday, mom, dad, and I went to Auntie Lindsay and Uncle Andrew's house on the lake for a BBQ. We spent the afternoon enjoying the sun and the company of my friends Anna and Caleb, and their parents. It was a lot of fun. Dad tried to take me for a swim, but the water was away too cold, and I screamed! I was able to snooze a little bit in the carrier, but then was a bit aggravated at the end of the day (I guess I was a little over tired).

2 months old / 2 meses de vida

Today I turned 2 months! I have really been trying to use my hands. My mom decided to try the bumbo chair today to give more torso support. Yes! I was able to hit my toy. yay!!!!!! As I became more aware of the surroundings, I have been able to spend a bit more time by myself, playing in my vibrating chair, looking at my mobile or playing on my play mat. That gives my mom enough time to load or unload the dishwahser, or perhaps take a shower. Yes, I'm gorwing! I still get my crying spells every now and then, which is typical of a new baby, but they are also getting better.

Hope you like the pictures from my second "monthday". As you will see, I was stunned  by the candle light.

Hj eu complreto 2 meses. Ultimamente, tenho tentado usar minhas maozinhas, mas elas ainda nao obedecem. No entanto, com um pouquinho de ajuda da minha mainha e usando essa cadeirinha especial para dar suporte ao tronco, consegui batersozinho no meu brinquedo. Pense na felicidade! Tb descobri que adoro fogo! (uia o perigo!). Ah sim, tenho emitido muitos, mas muitos sons qdo brinco e qdo estou interagindo com meus painhos.
E a medida que vou crescendo, e ficando mais a par do mundo ao meu redor, tenho chorado bem menos.
Oh vida boa!!!!!

Mom and me walk and picnic

Getting stronger!

Curtindo a vida - parte 2

Desde que minha vovo Lucia foi embora, eu e mainha estamos tentando entrar numa rotina. De manha, enquanto painho ajeita o cafe da manha, ela toma banho. Eu entro no sling, capoto, e mainha come. Qdo acordo, como e saimos para dar uma voltinha no carrier ou de carrinho. E assim comecam nossos dias... Ha dias que temos que nos adaptar um pouco, pois eu amanheco de mau-humor!!!!! hahahaahahah

Hj o dia comecou bem, e parece que vai terminar bem tb. Conseguimos "obedecer"  a nossa rotina matinal. Depois que eu acordei, mainha me colocou no bercinho com o meu mobile enquanto ela arrumava a cama. Depois saimos para caminhar com Lady, eu no carrinho e lady na coleira. Como sempre, eu nao dormi. Qdo cheguei em casa, estava exausto, e tive uma dificuldadezinha para dormir, foi qdo minha resolveu deitar comigo. Comecei na cama com ela, e temrinei no meu balancinho. Como dormi bem, acordei todo feliz. Brinquei um pouquinho com mainha no chao, e depois saimos para dar uma voltinha no centro da cidade, e agora to dando um cochilo ateh chegar a hora de eu ir dormir. Eita dia bom!!!!

A proposito, to morrendo de saudades da minha voinha Lucinha, dancando comigo e me ninando como se tivese chamando gatinhos. Oh saudades, voinha! Vem me ver de novo!!!

8 weeks / 8 semanas

I am 8 weeks old today! Wow, time sure flies when we are having fun, doesn't it? I have been cooing and babbling quite a bit recently, especially when I am playing. I have been trying to reach for my mobile, and started to open my hands when they get close to the mobile, and then emit lots of sounds! I really pay attention to everything around me, and have been moving my hands as if I was trying to catch things. I am also starting to understand that my actions generate reactions, and I seem to have different cry for my desires.

I'm also proud to say that we have somewhat of a routine these days. We've had a nighttime routine for a while now, but the daytime one was hard to establish due to my ability to keep on fighting fatigue and tiredness.  I go to bed between 7:30 - 8:30 pm, wake up around 1:30 am, and then up again around 4:30 am, and up at 7:00 am for the day, although I feed and go right back to sleep, as I seem to be sleepy still, and wake full power at around 8:30 am. My nighttime routine only gets screwed up if I am really stuffed up, because I have to use the vaporizer, saline solution and have my nose aspirated (I hate it! try to do all of that, and get changed on top of it, when your are sleepy!!!!).  Despite of all that, I seem to be able to fall asleep with a little more help than usual. During the day, I feed roughly every 2 to 2 1/2 hours, and am normally very sleepy, but keep on fighting my fatigue. I find it really hard to stop paying attention to everything, so my parents "force" me to sleep, and I nap all day long. I seem to be more alert around 8:30 am, when I give  my parents big and beautiful smiles, and mid afternnon, after my mom has really forced me to sleep. I seem to have a bit more energy at these times, when I normally play with mom. Otherwise, I'm sleepy, and a bit upset about it all day long. :-) I'm sure I'll learn how to take longer naps so that I'm not so cranky at the end of the day.

Today, I also had my first set of vaccines. Man, it hurts!!!! I cried sooooooo much! My mom had the idea of putting me on the breast to try and fool me, but I still felt the pain. I weighed 11 lb and 2.5 oz and was 57 cm tall.

**************************

Hj eu completei 8 semanas. O tempo realmente voa, nao eh? Eu tenho emitindo bastante sons e estou balbuciando tb, principalmente qdo estou olhando para os meus brinquedinhos. Eu realmente presto bastante atencao aos meus brinquedos. Meus painhos ficam bobos comigo, e babando muito! Eles percebem que eu mexo os meus bracinhos no intuito de pegar meus brinquedinhos, mas eu ainda nao tenho controle nas minhas maos.

Hj tb tive minha primeira consulta no medico para tomar minhas vacinas. Puxa vida como doeu! Mainha tentou me enrolar me colocando no peito, mas mesmo assim eu chorei bastante. Hj estou com 5.060 kg e 57 cm. Eu amo meu peitinho!

Ha uma semana, mainha tem me colocado de brucos sem o rolinho, mas as vezes ela dah uma ajudinha, sabe? Ainda nao aguento ficar muito tempo segurando minha cabeca.

At home, after the doctor's appt

At the doctor's for my first shots. Miss the midwives!
