The New Year

The first couple of weeks of 2008 was quiet busy for us. Desmond had his 2 month checkup on Jan 3rd and his stats are as follows:

Weight = 12 lbs, 15 oz (75th %)
Height = 26 in (off the charts).

Then the first weekend of the New Year, Ommy and Papa came to visit us bearing lots of presents, especially for Stella and Desmond. We unfortunately didn't get any pictures of the kids with Papa but here is one of Ommy as she is hugging Stella goodbye. It was lots of fun seeing them.
Desmond also got his second haircut on Jan 7th (barely 11 weeks old) and this time he didn't cooperate as well. He does not like the buzzing sound of the clippers especially so close to his ears. The haircut was followed by a bath, another one of his least favorite activities. He was mad for quiet some time after his haircut, crying on and off for a couple of hours. Here are some pics of Desmond the day after his haircut when he was in a much better mood, cooing and kicking his legs in excitement.


The weather was unseasonably warm the second week of Jan here in the DC area and so Mama, Stella, and Desmond went for a walk to enjoy the warmer weather. Stella pushed the stroller with Desmond in it the whole entire time. The second week of Jan also marked a huge milestone for Smitha as she took Stella and Desmond out to a Mom's group meeting at church...the first time Smitha has ventured out in a car with both kids by herself! No pictures to post from the outing as Mama had her hands full to take any pics.

I just sent an e-mail asking for D's stats, so ignore that one :) Good work Smitha - the thought of venturing out with a 2 year old and a two month old sounds scary!!! I think it took me two months to take Kadyn out for a walk in the neighborhood in her stroller. How times change...

LOVE the video and Christmas photos. It's so wonderful to see Smitha in the photos!! I didn't think Stella could be any prettier, guess I was wrong. Very glad Desmond is such a giant. wow - must be a good eater :) happy 2008! love Sulene.
