Joseph Impellizzeri

Smiling baby!

Today, you were baptised into the Lutheran Church by Pastor Boyd. Thomas and Carolee were there as your sponsors and have now become your God Parents. It was a full house. You were so good and didn’t make a peep the whole time except for when the water hit your head. You grumbled a bit but then went back to sleep.

Afterwards, we all went out for a good lunch at KT’s. As I type this post you are completely zonked out in your swing.

Oh forgot to mention that you are now starting to smile. It is such a wonderful thing…much more pleasant than the frown and cry that we have been seeing for the last 5 weeks. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Well…you finally did it. The absolute worst poopy diaper to date. Not to be gross but it was leaking out everywhere. We had to strip you down and take you straight to the shower to hose you off.

It totally makes sense why you have been extra fussy the last few days. It has been about 10 days since the last one. One word of advice…don’t try to save them…I would rather have 5 contained BM’s than one of these.

You are now sleeping peacefully.

Today we all went to the doctor to find out that you are gaining weight and a good rate. You are up to 7 lbs. 8oz. You are now above your birth weight! Because you are so long you are starting to move out of new born outfits and into 0-3M. Exciting times!

We are finally starting to make a dent in the baby supplies that we were given before the birth. I can now reclaim some of the space and populate it with things we use rather than just inventory.

To celebrate your birthday, we gave you a bath. You were becoming a stinky baby. You were fine during the bath but not so much afterwards. The first two shots are of your sour faces prior to the bathing.

Here are a few more videos.  The first is Joseph sleeping happily in the swing and the second is him holding on to our fingers as we lift him off the pillow.

Here are some video’s of little man.  I would post more but he really doesn’t do a whole lot at this point.  Sleep, Cry, Eat, Poop…that is about it.
