Kaito's First Shot!

Yesterday Kaito went to the doctor's for his first immunization! We're at the doctor's office and I'm holding him on my lap as the doctor is writing stuff down. All of a sudden Kaito starts laughing! Keep in mind that no one is even looking or playing with him. This kid just bursts out laughing! The doctor, nurse and I think it's just hilarious and wonder what he's laughing at. As the doctor goes back to writing stuff, Kaito busts out laughing again! It was so cute! Usually he won't laugh out loud unless someone is playing with him! This kid must have a laugh bug or something. Or maybe he thought the doctor looked really funny.

Anyway, I'm holding him as he gets his shot, and I can't believe that he didn't even scream! When the doctor stuck him with the needle, he didn't cry. It wasn't until she was injecting the stuff into him that he started to whimper and starts to panic for like 5 seconds. Then he just forgot about it and was back to normal. Wow, my little guy is tougher than I thought! That's my Super Baby!

3 Months Old!

I haven't really been writing much about the baby, so I'll try to update more about what is happening. Time sure has gone by quickly! Kaito is already 3 months old, and there are so many changes!!!

• He's finally outgrown his newborn clothes!
• He's graduated from newborn pampers to small size pampers. (did you know that Japanese newborn Pampers are a lot bigger than the American newborn Pampers? My parents brought some of the American newborn Pampers, and I thought they were so cute, because they were so tiny!!! Interesting though, same brand, but the size is different. I would have thought that Japanese ones would be smaller, since Japanese are generally smaller in size. Hmph, go figure!)
• He can suck his thumb, which makes everything so much easier now that he can calm himself!
• He can reach for things and started to put things in his mouth.
• He can see a lot further now and in more detail! I can smile at him from about 2 yards away and he'll smile back!
• He can roll over from his back to his tummy.
• He has already doubled his birth weight. At birth he was 5.2 lbs. and now at 3 months he is 10.8 lbs.
• He can sleep the whole night! We put him to bed at around 9pm and he'll sleep until 5am- 6am-ish!!! Even though he sleeps the whole night. . . I can't! I still wake up a few times at night, worrying and thinking, "is he okay? why hasn't he woken up? etc." Ahh, I guess I need training to sleep the whole night now!
• And the best thing now is that he can fall asleep all by himself in his crib! Before we would spend a lot of time rocking him and he would only take naps in his bouncy chair, swing, or in someone's arms. Now when I see that he is getting tired (rubbing his eyes, yawning, getting fussy) I just put him in his crib and he'll cry for maybe 10 minutes and then he'll just fall asleep! Things are SOOOO much easier now!

Now I feel like my little boy is growing up so quickly! Before I know it, he'll be going off to college! *sigh*
