We got the Baby Bach video for Milo the other day and he loves it. Loves it! Who knew?
Here's his first watching -
totally entranced. he could hardly even be distracted by his bottle.

he's mostly just sucking on his hands and looking cute, but really, what more could you ask for?

easter treats
they were addressed to Milo, but he's not really on the solid food yet so I suppose Nate and I will just have to take care of the candy. It's a hard life, really.
QUAX.

sick again
just returned from dr. pockat's office and all is well. Milo most likely just has a virus and should start to get better any day now. His ears are all clear as well, yahoo!
He has gained almost a pound in the last nineteen days and is now up to 13 lbs 11 oz. He's huge! We've started to supplement his bedtime feeds with formula as I can't keep up with his demand any more. I think in the next few weeks we may try him on some rice cereal, which i'm going to guess he'll like a lot based on the way he sucks down pretty much everything that we've given him so far (tylenol, oral vaccination, antibiotics, etc.).

my new camera has video!
Milo is starting to grab onto things a little bit. He hasn't actually reached for anything yet, but if he touches something he'll hang on to it, which is really pretty cool. Except for when it's my hair. Then it just hurts. Here's some video of him playing in his playpen earlier this week -
He's also getting really good at standing up - he'll push up against whatever he's propped on and keep his knees straight and everything. It's pretty cool. I think he's going to be an early walker.
and just as a side note, both of these videos were shot with my new camera. It's pretty funky - I can use any lens i want to shoot videos, but once I start recording I can't change the focus point. So if Milo or whoever my subject is changes their distance to the camera, I have to move with them or they get all blurry. It'll be a fun challenge!!
on an unrelated note, we've become a bit obsessed with the notion of buying a Wii - any opinions? Nate really wants MarioKart and we both think that the Wii Fit actually looks pretty fun. Who has one? Do you like it? Good times?

4 month checkup
Milo is now officially two feet tall! His weight is up to 12 lbs 12 oz and he's 24" exactly. His weight, height and head circumference are all in about the 25th percentile and have consistently been there throughout his life. So he's little, but he's growing at a normal rate and his size right now has nothing to do with what his size might end up at when he grows up.
I've finally gotten my slideshow software update figured out and have the slideshows back up on his website. I've added the Feb pictures and hope to get the March ones up today as well - nothing like running ahead of schedule!
We also did his 2nd round of shots at this visit. He did not like that much at all but Elaine is SO fast it was over before he knew it. He had the same reaction this time as last time - sleep! When we got back to daycare he slept for the rest of the afternoon. I think the girls thought I had drugged him.
His ear infection is all cleared up and he sounds a lot better - not nearly as sniffly and snotty. We still are having him sleep sitting up for the most part as it seems to help him sleep a bit better. I'm on a mission for some crib bumpers tomorrow (after checking with the pediatrician) for when he starts sleeping in the crib again. He's so wiggly he'll often end up with his feet stuck between the bars and I'm afraid he's going to break an ankle.
He's been very smiley and happy and talkative, which is sooo fun and hilarious. The girls at daycare all seem to really like him in spite of the frequent blowouts and are often telling me what a chill baby he is, so that is awesome.
I have some video of him in the Jumperoo but am out of room on Roger to load it, so you all will just have to wait until Harold gets here and I'll get that posted. Hopefully sometime next week!
