Baby Doodle is two months old today. This morning I went to the drug store to buy baby tylonol to give him tomorrow before his doctor appointment where he will get a number of shots. He has been very well behaved so far today. It is clear that he has matured now that he's a whole two months old. BD now smiles when anyone smiles at him, he coos and gurgles excitedly as he kicks his feet and moves his arms about, he loves it when I crawl my fingers up his chest and touch his tiny button nose while saying "boop." We met a former pediatric nurse at the Memorial Day parade that marched through our neighborhood on Monday. She said that BD has very good muscle tone and that his soft spot and head ridges are normal. She also asked to hold him. It was the first time a stranger was so bold as to ask to hold our little guy.

To celebrate baby Doodle-eve we went to a Rendell fundraiser. BD was a big hit. We were hesitant about bringing him at first, but Mr. Doodlebug and I were in the mood for some "free" -- we paid $100 to get in, remember it's a fundraiser -- food and alcohol. It was fun and BD loved the music and looking at all the people.

It is hot as hell in Philly. Mr. D and I lugged the smaller of our two air conditioners up three flights of stairs and secured it in the window in our bedroom where the three of us sleep. To be completely accurate Mr. D carried it up two flights and I helped him with the middle set. Man that thing was heavy! If this week is any indication of how hot this summer is going to be, we're in for a hellish few months.
















Baby Doodle is not quite as excited as his mother to be meeting the governor.
