A Sunday play date

| No TrackBacks
Today three families from our Lamaze class came over to play. Alexander, Aya, and Enzo all spent a few hours hanging out, and towards the end of the afternoon all four babies gathered together on a play mat for their parents' photograph adoration.
Laila at Madison Square Park Kids Fest
Laila met up with Kara, Hannah, and Solomon at the Madison Square Park Kids Fest, a delightfully chaotic festival with face-painting, marigold-planting, treasure-hunting, and even the Treats Truck! And Melanie and Isaac were also there! By the end of the afternoon, Laila was pooped — even though she did not stand on line for the face-painting or the cotton candy (nor even the Shake Shack! someday!)
The 900-odd photographs and a score of videos covering Laila's first two months are in a single virtual photo album; the next few months are in a new photo album. For the latest, start with this photo album.

Vaccinations

| No TrackBacks
At two months, Laila weighed 11 lbs. 4 oz (5.1 kg), a gain of just over 2 lbs. (.94 kg); grown another inch, to 22 in. (56 cm), and gained another few cm of head circumference. A month ago, she was not only smaller but her temperament was quite different: at today's visit, she was looking around the room and fixing her eye on different objects. She received vaccinations for Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DPaT); Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib); and Polio (IPV), following the New York State schedule for child vaccination.

Laila received treatment for an umbilical granuloma, a condition occurring in about 1 in 500 live births. No baths for a few days!
