London is now 10 weeks old. We have already had to start packing away his newborn clothes and he is pretty much wearing 3-6 mos clothes now. There are a bunch of things he never even got a chance to wear. He has so many clothes it's like a race to get him to wear all of them. Maybe we'll need to just play dress-up some day and snap photos...haha.
Last Tuesday London went to see the ear, nose, throat specialist to see if he is tongue-tied. The doctor was awesome and super good with London. He told us London was a 6 on a scale from 1-10 on severity. He explained that we could leave his tongue the way it is or he could snip it underneath. If we leave it he could have speech problems in the future and if he got the procedure later he'd have to be put under and it would be more complicated. We didn't want that so we decided to have it done right then and there. It was super quick. They took him next door (we could hear him crying) :-( and snipped it quick and brought him right back to me and he stopped crying. That day he was pretty fussy and I gave him some tylenol and he slept most of the day. It was so funny to see him stick out his tongue and blow spit bubbles. He has so much more movement with it now so we are glad we did it. I was tongue-tied as a baby so just one of my many lovely genes I have passed on to my son.
We sent out our first family Christmas card this year. We only ordered a few and sent them out to just immediate family. I was not sure how they'd turn out and didn't want to order a ton. They turned out adorable! I used the Santa photo and the one of him in the elf hat smiling and one in his little bear snowsuit. Everyone who got one said he made them smile when they saw it. He is a little cutie pie and makes me smile everyday. We have been able to do so much more together lately. He can pay attention to books for about 5 minutes now and actually looks at the pictures and sometimes smiles and laughs. He really likes this Winnie the Pooh piano his grandma got him that plays Christmas music. He also loves his new monster book from his great Aunt Anne (in the picture) He loves the pictures of the monsters and was making little cooing noises as he looked at the funny pictures.
London, daddy and I have had a few trips out Christmas shopping. London has been to the mall about 3 times now. It's a crazy mall and he has done really well. He mostly sleeps but will occasionally wake up and look around all bug-eyed. We get lots of compliments on how cute he is and people are a lot nicer to us with a baby ;-) Plus Kary said it's easy to zoom around in the mall because people part the way for a baby...haha. But, it does work.
We will be spending Christmas in PA this year with my family. It will be London's first long road trip and his first time to see where mommy grew up. Luckily, my sister Marisa will be riding with us and can help with London. We have to wait until Kary is out of work to leave so we are braving it and leaving at 5pm on Thursday evening. I am sure the trip will be pure hell...unless he sleeps the whole time ;-) I sure hope so. This will be his first time meeting his cousins Mason and Isla and still has yet to meet Jess, Jason, Josh and Sarah. I can't wait to see them with him. He has changed a lot since my parents and sister Goob have seen him too. I hope he's in a good mood most of the time. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures since unfortunately I don't get to see my family very often. We cherish every minute we get together and I am so lucky to every single one of them in my life.
