Catching up

It's been over a week since the last post - we're really slacking off here! This past week has been quite busy - Yo getting over his cold, doctors appointments, a couple picnics (one needs to make the most of our short summers!), a wedding/reception, and a baby shower.

He seems to be over most of his cold, and we're really thankful for that. Was quite hard to watch him sniffle his way through a couple weeks. We went in on Wed for his 4 month shots - he did quite good with them again, thank God.

Last Sat a whole bunch of us went to Blue Lake Park for the Annual PDXGang Picnic. Was a beautiful day, and lots of fun was to be had.

Over the last month or so, Yo has been getting rather upset, to put it mildly, when people other than his beloved parents pick him up. Don't really know why, especially since we've been taking him out and about quite a lot. Stranger anxiety apprently doesn't usually set in till about 6 months, so this is a little early. His grandparents and uncle/aunt are going to be showing up in about a week; we're hoping he'll get used to them soon!

The little guy seems to be a toddler trapped in a 4 month old's body. He seems to want to play with the kids in the park or jump out of his swing and much prefers standing to lying down. He's super excitable, and wants to wriggle and pull and grab at every opportunity. No calm baby moments for him!
