Weekly Update -- 10 - 16 March 2008

Yea, I'm 62 weeks old today!

Masinja saw his new doctor for the first time this week. The nurse weighed and measured him. He weighed 20 lbs 6 oz and measured 29.5 in. He is in the 50 percentile for his weight but only the 5 percentile for his height.

Masinja stood up for the first time by himself this week. T.M.M. was sitting with him on the floor and his empty bottle was on the coffee table. He stood up and reached for the bottle all by himself!

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 3 - 9 March 2008

Yea, I'm 61 weeks old today!

Masinja is still low-crawling. He seems to be getting faster each day. He has a few more teeth now too. The two teeth on either side of his top front teeth are starting to come in. We are going to take him to the dentist soon just to make sure that everything is kosher with his teeth. T.M.M. brushes them for Masinja on a daily basis and he seems to enjoy it.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 25 February - 2 March 2008

Yea, I'm 60 weeks old today!

Masinja got his forth series of RSV shots this week. He was very unhappy because he got a bigger dose in his left leg. Due to the fact that he has gotten so big, they had to give him a higher dose. They had to open a new vial of medicine and since the vials can't be mixed, he got almost 1mL in his left leg. He cried quite a bit, but who could blame him!

Masinja sat up for the first time on his own this week. T.M.M. put him in his crib and I went in to stay with him until he went to sleep. When I walked into the room, he was sitting up in his crib. I asked T.M.M. if she had left him sitting up and she said no, that she had layed him down. He obviously pushed himself up into a sitting position!

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 18 - 24 February 2008

Yea, I'm 59 weeks old today!

Masinja is crawling now. He isn't quite up on all fours yet, but he is low-crawling. He is getting faster with each passing day, too.

Masinja seems to be adapting to his new surroundings pretty well also. He is sleeping in his Pack-n-Play for the time being as we await the rest of our belongings. He isn't used to having to be all bundled up, but he doesn't seem to mind his "snowsuit" all that much.

He will get his forth series of RSV shots next week and hopefully go to his new doctor for the first time within the next week or so for his 12 month checkup.


That's all for now.


Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 11 - 17 February 2008

Yea, I'm 58 weeks old!

Masinja had to go to the doctor this week. He was sneezing and coughing a lot, so T.M.M. thought it was best to take him and get him checked out. It was a good thing we did take him, because he had sinusitis and a double-ear infection. He is on antibiotics for 10 days now.

Masinja got to go for a very long car ride this week as we made the move to Nebraska. He was a trooper though. He slept most of the way and didn't complain too much when he was awake.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.
