Into his 3rd month

Ok, so...Rafael is now in his 3rd month and we have just had his two month checkup and he is now weighing 5,005kgs and measuring 57cms. He is gaining perfect
weight and growing exactly what is expected, so we are very pleased! Unfortunately he was under the weather for a couple of days having a slight temperature
and being somewhat grumpy. He must have got a bit of a cold, but seems to be better now. The Dr prescribed some medicine and also some Vitamin C and so he
should be 100% in no time.
Thankfully his colic has improved, which apparently is normal...it should disappear altogether at around 3 months, and also the Gripe Water that
Paulo Joaquim and Dora brought from the UK has helped lots...I wish they sold it here in Brasil (Thank you PJ and Dora). The Dr was very pleased with
how Rafael is already so strong trying to hold his head up and also kicking his legs and trying to jump up and down! If you hold him standing up he will
jump and jump on your lap (although be warned the jumping may make him sick!) hahahaha! He is very good when we visit the Dr and doesn`t cry when he is
undressed and prodded and poked at! I am attaching a photo taken at the appointment showing his 2 month weigh in!
As I mentioned last month he continues to be a really smiley boy, and loves having conversations...the more you talk with him the more smiles and giggles
you`ll get! The vibrating chair and activity mat (courtesy of Fisher Price) continue to be his favourite toys and more than ever he is paying attenion
to the flashing lights and moving animals and also the music- his mobile is also a great help at night when he is lying in his cot! He continues to sleep
through the night and is overall a very easy and content baby! He loves going out for walks in his pram and falls
asleep - how, I will never know because the pavements in Rio are not known for being so smooth! They are certainly
not made for prams, but it doesn`t seem to bother him! We had a very quick 3 month party as we were rushing out to my godson, Daniel's 6th birthday party.
We spend most of our weekend with Rafael at Nana and Grandpa's new house in Guapimirim and so he is being spoilt rotten by my parents who adore spending
time with him.
