Pretty Baby - Bug Series
Well, we did it. We went on our first road trip to Snowbird. Three bags, a baby seat, and a stressed out mom. So much luggage for such a tiny person! No camera. He handled it like a champ, but was very sleepy at altitude and slept a lot. He's also (I think) teething...which means a little cranky, a lot of drool, and a more than usual lot of poop. I trekked him around in the Baby Bjorn and we had a nice time checking out the cookout contest going on for BBQ champs of Utah. Didn't see much of Michael because he was working. But nothing like a cute baby to get lots of attention from all kinds of strangers. And...he got his first dose of "real" TV, which he seemed to enjoy for 5 whole minutes. PBS is just not his thing.He's looking good with his new bug toy from Auntie Carla and his "Chick Magnet" onesie from Auntie Vikki. I think he's so pretty...most people think he's a girl- until he lets out that loud, hoarse cry! OK family members, isn't it scary how much he looks like his mamma? It's uncanny!

Road Trip
Well, we're going to try driving up to Little Cottonwood Canyon for a change of scenery. Michael's at a conference at Snowbird, and I'm going to take Little G up to see if we can manage a little adventure. Stay tuned!

NFP
Neonatal Follow-up Program
A State program did some assessments of Gerard today. Here are the stats that we can report:
He's looking good for a 3-month old. He hits the 50% in the charts (for a 3 month old).
Weight - 12.79
Length - 24.6"
Head - perfect
His lungs sound great. His heart sounds great.
He's developmentally acting like a 4-month old. All that tummy time is paying off!
His hearing is normal. (I was worried about that one).
Being around lots of other preemies brought back memories. Reminded us how lucky we all are.
Thanks everyone for their prayers.
Happy Father's Day yesterday. Photos to post later.

New numbers
Gerard Weight - 12 lbs. 12 oz.
Head - 16-3/4"
Length - 24-1/4"
As of Monday when the county nurse weighed him
...Ta Da! He's ON THE CHARTS!!!!!!!!!!!
He just loves looking in the mirror now... and smiles at our reflections.
He now smiles when he wakes instead of crying... Happy boy!
This is the "crooked" smile that mommy and daddy just adore. Still has big blue eyes like Gran.
He enjoys hanging out on mom's legs - and has recently started grasping his hands together!
