Bigger, stronger

Odin can hold his head up while lying on his stomach as long as he wants. He's also babbling a lot more and can move his arms a lot better.

Babies can't swim

We were taking a bath with Odin like we do on most nights and we accidentally dropped part of his mouth in the bath. He inhaled some air and started to choke. He went all rigid and wasn't breathing, but we were able to help him cough up the water.

Nothing serious, he just didn't know how to help himself stop choking. It was scary though. Good thing I took a Baby CPR class a while ago.

Dinner party

Odin's great-grandpa was in town so we took him over to his grandma's house to visit and have dinner. He was really playful and smiled a lot, we got lots of good video footage.

He's developing a lot of personality; he talks, whines different ways when he wants different things, and expresses emotions like missing us when we're out of his vision and being happy if we pick him up.

Stronger!

We put Odin in his boppy and he sat up! Lately he's been flexing his abs a lot and today he used the boppy to help himself up. Not all the way, but he did it on his own. We pulled him up all the way and he sat there with the help of the boppy. He was able to keep himself up pretty good.

We've also been giving him a lot of tummy-time and he's started to try crawling. He can hold his head up really good and smile when he does it. He's also rolled over several times.

I've been capturing a lot of stuff on video and I'm going to make a little movie of him, it'll be funny.

Sick Odin

Odin did some projectile vomiting today. It was a lot, and he's been doing it more and more often lately, so we took him to the doctor. They did an ultrasound on his stomach, he hated it so much. Everything turned out fine, but they gave us Prevacid to help his reflux go down in case that's what it was.

Doctor visit

Odin is now 12 pounds 3 ounces which is 65th percentile, and we couldn't get an accurate length measurement. He also had his shots today. He really hated that. He cried like I've never seen him cry.

Dad wanted us to bring him by the office to show him off, and he fell asleep so we paraded him around the buildings showing him to old friends from when I worked there. Everyone thought he was really cute.

I meant to add this earlier in the week, but finals kept me from it:

Odin can lift his head up really good now. And he's smiling non-stop and even babbling at us! He is trying to talk but, of course, he can't quite manage. Still, it's really cute. He's upgraded to size 2 diapers and he's outgrown his clothes so now he's in the 3-6 month stuff even though he's only 2 months! He's getting easier to take care of by the day.

Doing well

Odin has been smiling a lot, and he's much more interactive. Also, we've been carrying him around in a front-pack harness kinda thing and he really likes it. It's good for us because there isn't a huge stroller and lots of stuff to carry, and it's good for him because we can face him forward when he's awake and he likes to watch the world go by as we're walking around.
