School, Superbowl and Doctor visit

This has been a full week for Slate. I took slate to school on Friday just to meet some people. He did good and had a great day at Mommy and Daddy's school. Then with a saddened heart, I had to go back to school full time on Monday. We did find a wonderful babysitter. She is a true answer to our prayers. She is a great girl we used to teach with who is fortunate to be able to stay home with her baby, so she is watching Slate too. She is 5 minutes from school and it worked out great this week. Her little girl is named Addison- so Slate might be a little confused and start to tell her to stop barking like we do at home with our Addison:)

Slate is 2 month's old- this was on February 4th


Slate went to 2 superbowl parties on Sunday. He wore his cute jammies again, but he did not bring the Cardinals luck this time. Charlie was disappointed they did not win, but we had a good time at the parties anyway.

Slate had his 2 month doctor appointment today. He had to get his shots- he only cried for 30 seconds and then he was fine. He was a real trooper. We are a little concerned with his development, he is not smiling yet or tracking with his eyes. He is also supposed to be cooing, and he is not doing any of that yet. The doctor was not too worried but we are going to be working with him and hopefully he will be caught up before his next visit. We have started trying to get him to follow toys with his eyes and we are reading to him to help him start to vocalize more. He smiles every once in a while but not in response to us or when we smile at him. We are just hoping he is a bit delayed because he was so early and that he will catch up soon. He is growing fine however, he is now in the 50% for his age where he was at the 10% the last time we went, so maybe he is focusing all of his energy on growing and will start to smile and coo soon:)

Before we went to the doctor- a sleepy slate!
