Busy week for Dori!

The last week has been jam-packed with activities for Mr. D. He went to the doctor last week for a check-up and some shots - he now weighs 20lb6oz (95th percentile) and is 28.5in tall (97th percentile)! We've got us one big baby and yet, he still doesn't fit into those new diaper covers. Grrr. He had a mild reaction to the vaccinations - fever and several large poops (and one diaper-full of diarrhea, just in time for Grandma to change it!) Poor little guy. Plus, we're subjecting him to the old "crying it out" technique at the moment. It's time for this guy to sleep more than 1-2 hours at a time and the doctor suggested that he is old enough and hearty enough to torture him in this way now. Mama and Daddy are so very tired, and I start nursing school in a few months. This boy needs to learn how to sleep better. It's breaking my heart to do this to him, but I have to remember that if we're consistent and rigid about it, we should see results fairly quickly. More on this in a couple days - we'll let you know how it's going!

Picture time:

After arriving home from Karfluki Fest, Dori got to see his Auntie Jess (my good friend who recently moved to San Diego) again.
He even managed a smile for one of the pictures.

Grandpa took him on some walks to our neighborhood coffee shop and got him his first balloon.
He passed out on Daddy later that day.
He's just about outgrown his little foam seat...he still likes to eat it though.
Looks like he's outgrown his bouncy seat too - look at him arch his back to try and get out! He actually managed to get his shoulders and head above the chair the other day, so I have packed it away.
He still loves his baths.
Especially with lots of toys.
He can now grab the hanging toys on his jumperoo.
And eat them, of course.
He's been spending loads of time standing up in his playpen.
He went to music class and met up with his friend Denali.
They even showed some interest in each other.
Dorian played the drum.
Then passed out in the car after class.
He went to my moms' group picnic on Saturday and hung out with all his friends.
He and Abby managed to spend some time alone together at the picnic. They ate toys.
He passed out in the sun afterwards.
We went to see Dori's daddy play at the Whole Earth Festival in Davis yesterday. James loves it when we come to gigs with him so he can play with Dori during his breaks.
It was wonderful to spend time together at an outdoors festival.
Dori played with some older babies at the festival...he's really getting socialized now!
Guess Dori didn't want a hug from Mama on Mother's Day!

Thumbs up, dudes!
