March 2004
Play Time
I don't play with things yet, but I like to
look. I spend time every day on my play mat, where someone
invariably shakes a rattle at me.
I'm also having longer and more
frequent, earnest conversations of "ah-goo." |
 |
|
|
Mom and Papa also insist on "tummy
time," but I don't enjoy it very much. Although I'm getting
better and better at lifting my head while I'm on my stomach, it's still hard
work. |
Springtime Walks
Seattle has had really nice weather this spring, so Mom
and Papa have been taking me for lots of walks in my stroller [right].
|
|
| However, I sleep more while strolling than I
actually enjoy the view. |

Visitors from
Holland
|
|
A big event in March was the visit of my Oma
and Tante Lianne from the Netherlands. They arrived March 19th and stayed
for a week. We all went shopping together, and we even attended a rijsttafel
dinner hosted by the Dutch-American Chamber of Commerce. But mostly they
held me a lot, which I really liked [left], and spoke lots of Dutch
to me. |
Two-Month Doctor Visit
I visited my pediatrician at the end of March for my
two-month check-up, and we found out that in two months I grew A
LOT. When I was born, my length was at the 75th percentile; now it's
at the 90th (23 3/4"). And my weight was at the 25th percentile; now it's at
the 75th (11 lbs, 9 oz)! This would explain my ample cheeks and chins
[right]. I guess Mom has been feeding me really well.
This doctor visit I also received my first in a long
series of inoculations. I suffered four shots, two in each thigh.
(Good thing I have a lot of fat there.) That was NO FUN, but
fortunately I didn't experience any ill effects later. |
