Baby diary: 11 weeks

[petronia]

 Alan:

• Outgrowing another set of clothes. He's in 6-9 month outfits now. Here's praying he takes to his big crib as the bassinet is rapidly becoming too small.
• Still has flare-ups of dermatitis, though never bad enough to invite drastic measures. He's still endocrinologically(sp?) tied to me through the breast milk: if I break out, he breaks out, and vice versa. The problem is, I've never been very good at identifying what makes me break out. :/
• Is able to play in an activity gym - that is, he can see and succeed in hitting/kicking toys hung within reach. I hadn't realized the things all come with a baby-sized pillow, but it's very useful as he spits up easily out of excitement.
• Drunk Elephant cosmetics packaging is like crack, colour-wise. Black and white and fluo orange.
• Thinks the baby in the mirror is another baby!
• Not sure what he thinks of the mirror!Mom holding the mirror!baby. Well, Lacan has something to say about it, but Lacan is wrong.
• Thinks the ceiling has eyes (the inset halogen fixtures in my parents' living room). I fed him downstairs so I could watch the Oscars, and at first we thought he was laughing and chatting at me from my lap, but no... he was talking to Ceiling Eyes.

Fussy Wonder Week #3 is supposed to start now-ish, maybe the frequent night wake-ups have something to do with it? Anyway, my Mom is going to China for a month and I'll be going back to my place so wish me luck, lol.

Awwww yay! Grow well Alan! (Although it is always sad to outgrow super cute outfits.)

And good luck! Sending good vibes to you both.
