Will you be my Valentine??




Little Akhil has had quite an eventful month. He's really developed his smile and we have plenty of pictures to prove it. Four months already...can you believe it?!! We took him to Dr. Vershagen for his 4 month visit and 2nd round of shots. Needless to say, he wailed and wailed for a few minutes.

He weighed in at 12 lbs 10 oz and 24 inches. Doc said he's lean and strong (i.e. not eating enough and clearly not a heavyweight or middleweight). He also started on solids and absolutely loving the rice cereal. What is this stuff? It's like pasty flakes.....can't I give him cocoa puffs??


He's also developing a bit of stranger anxiety. Can that happen this early? Well, he's always scanning his new environment and cries a bit until he loses his breath. Then, he decides if he wants to keep crying or fall asleep. It's pretty much a routine now....we're used to it.

We're still experimenting with his southpaw potential. He's progressed to sucking on his left thumb as opposed to his right. Now...we'll have to work on his high-fives. Right now....he just stares and leaves us hanging. But, we're all excited 'cause pitchers and catchers reported today!!

oh my GOSH! That photo of him smiling is sooo adorable! Amazing how he smiles like that and can hold up his head like that (where he's on his stomach on the rug). Who needs to be a heavyweight, anyway? He's perfect the way he is!

Stranger anxiety and Akhil?? Dude, you must be mistaken :-)

The pics are awesome, he looks up like a grown up lad, ready to join dad on the golfing green.
