Dougie went to the doctor again today. He’s been tearing a lot and had some goo in his eyes. Turns out, he has a blocked tear ducts and an infection in one of his eyes. We picked up some cream that should clear up the infection and the ducts should open themselves in a few months. Dougie doesn’t seem bothered by it which is good.
We’re making an effort to start dressing Dougie in “real people clothes” when we go out. We didn’t have a lot of clothes that fit him that weren’t onesies so it was hard but now that he’s a bit bigger, our options have increased.
Going to the Doctor
Because Mum Loves the Sunglasses
The fight has begun for Dougie’s hockey loyalties…
I’m doing what I can to cultivate a proper love for the Montreal Canadiens. Grandpa and Uncle Mike are likely to start on a Bruins indoctrination. But it looks like great-uncle Dan and great-aunt Judy have landed the first punch…
Someday — someday — he will fill out this jersey.
We’ve just returned from Dougie’s 2 month check-up. He did really well.
Stats:
It looks like he is growing right along the curve which is wonderful. He has shot up in height though. At his 2 week check-up, he was only in the 10th percentile for height. We have hit all of the 2 month developmental milestones and all but 1 of the 4 month milestone so he’s doing really well.
We got some vaccinations today as well (HepB and DTaP). We are slowly introducing vaccinations but plan to get them all done.
Dougie got this chair from “Big Doug” (a co-worker of Scott’s) and his wife, Michelle. He can’t quite sit in it by himself but we thought it was so cute we had to take some pictures.
Is it just me, or does our little Dougie look like he’s been smoking something funny?
His sleep schedule has been a bit messed up over the last little while — he can nap in the morning, but he can really stay up quite late into the night without getting tired. I think he’s taking after his Uncle Mike.
Grandma and Grandpa (Sharabura) are visiting in a couple of weeks, which will be exciting! We’ll be sure to post photos.
We walk every day but the sun has been bothering Dougie’s eyes. So, we got him some sunglasses. He looks so cool in them.
Dougie in his Baby Banz
I had to post this picture because I think it’s just too cute.
Nothing like a little Daddy/Dougie time.
I’ve decided to join MOMS International. It’s a club for stay-at-home and work-at-home mothers. They arrange several activities during the week to get moms and kids out. It should allow us meet other mothers and babies in the area. We’re even going to join a playgroup. Hopefully, we’ll be able to start attending things next week.
Here are a few pictures from the weekend. Dougie loves his gym mat. We try to get him on it twice a day for tummy time.

Today, Dougie rolled over for the first time (front to back). I think it was a fluke since he couldn’t do it again but it was still exciting. He wasn’t sure what to make of it all but he thought it was fun.
Dougie has decided to join a gym. We’re hoping that we can meet some other parents and babies this way. They are opening a kids gym not too far from the house and are having all sorts of grand opening specials. The description of his class is:
Little Bundles (6 weeks – 6 months) – In their earliest months, babies will acquire new skills that stimulate social, physical and intellectual development. Learn exciting and developmentally appropriate activities through music, movement and class discussion.
The gym doesn’t open until the end of February or so (they don’t have an exact date yet) so he’ll be a bit older when he starts but we’re quite excited about it.
