such a busy week we've had...setting up gabe's bank account and RESP (i think he's richer than me :P), prenatal reunion, pete's birthday, shopping on commercial drive, aunt mary's birthday celebration, chiro, 2 month shots, visiting chris' "office", nora's christmas playdate and the PADS christmas party! phew, i'm exhausted :-)
i was really anxious about gabe's 2 month shots...i didn't know if i was strong enough to be in the room with him, so chris came along. turns out, i was fine...and so was gabe :-) i brought along a small bottle of milk and he started drinking as the injections went in. the first one he had absolutely no reaction; after the second shot, he started crying and gave up on the bottle. by the time his fourth shot was done, he was howling! oh i felt so bad for my little monkey, but i managed to not cry, and gabe managed to finish his bottle, and then i topped him up myself. i was a bit worried in the afternoon because he slept for 4 straight hours...very unusual...but once he woke up, he didn't stop crying. poor guy...his left leg was completely swollen and tomato red. my dad was convinced it would be a long night for me and chris, but fortunately by bedtime, everything was back to normal and gabe slept his normal 9 hours!
wednesday was a great day...during tummy-time, gabe fell asleep on the playmat so i managed to put him in his basinette for a 45 minute nap! it's the first time he's done that for me...usually he cries and wakes up when i put him down during the day :P after he was much refreshed we had a playdate at nora's house :-) good times! gabe was holding onto one of the toys on nora's playmat and was loving it. i'm going to add some links to his toys so he can grab them at home. to end the day, we headed off to the PADS volunteer xmas party. it was great to see all the volunteers, and gabe was a big hit! i think he garnered more attention than the dogs did!
