Link had his 2 month check-up and is wonderfully healthy. He is progressing developmentally superbly and growing like a champ. He very sweetly "cooed" and "gooed" at the doctor as she looked him over. Here are this months stats:
The interesting thing to me is that Link shot up from the 23rd percentile to the 55th percentile for height...quite a growth spurt! Seems like he is catching up to his brother even though Meo had two weeks longer in the womb. It will be interesting to see their similarities and differences as they grow.
Poor Link also had his first vaccinations, protecting him from no less than EIGHT diseases:
dipthereia
tetanus
pertussis (whooping cough)
Haemophilus influenzae tyep b
hepattis B
polio
rotavirus
pneumococcal disease
This came in the form of one oral vaccine and 3 shots. Link did not like any of them, but was immediately comforted by mama milk. He reacted very well to the vaccines and was only slightly fussy that evening (putting him in the ERGO baby carrier soothed him though) and had a slight fever that went away before bed.
Half way through another year (2/7/2013)! How can Mattimeo really be 18 months? I feel like it wasn't too long ago, I thought 18 months was so old and so far away for us, and yet here it is. Mr. Meo had his 18 month check-up already which went very well. He is developing wonderfully, his teeth look great, and he's growing into a big strong boy. He had a couple vaccinations (Hep A and Hib, which he didn't care for but we nursed through them and he did fine. At his two year check up he will have one more vaccination then he is done with vaccinations until he is four! Woohoo! Here are is growth stats for this month:
I am not convinced his length is accurate as he was wicked squirmy and had to be measured twice (the first time it looked like he had stayed the same as 3 months ago, which I knew was wrong so we tried again and he was a half inch longer but still squirmy).
Happy 18 months sweet Meo!

Here is another one of those hodgepodge posts...even though I said I wouldn't do it anymore...because I can't help it...because I take photos of everything and want to make sure Meo gets to see them some day. So there.
Mimi's Passing Anniversary Mass and Dinner
Three years ago, what would have been one of Meo's great-grandmother's, Mimi, passed away. Unfortunately, she never got to meet little Meo, but I am confident that she is smiling down on him from a more peaceful place. Mimi was an amazing woman and we all miss her greatly. In honor of her memory, some of the family went to her anniversary Mass at church, then went to have dinner with Pepere at his place of residence. It was a great evening full of laughter, yummy food and love.

Moms' Night Out!
Last Saturday night, my loving/wonderful/spectacular husband agreed to drop me off at the Wine Bar in Portland while he drove around with a sleeping baby listening to lullaby music so I could have a "moms' night out" with some Birth Roots Buds friends. I had an appletini, which is something I have been missing for well over a year, and enjoyed some great company. We talked about sleep, vacations, food and all kinds of stuff, had some laughs, and got a little tipsy (well I did at least hehe). I could only stay for one drink, but I had a lot of fun. Thanks for a great night mamas!
My Dad Turned 50?!
I can hardly believe it; 50 years old! Happy Birthday Daddy, I'm so glad we were able to celebrate with you!

More Needles for Meosaur, Boooo
As part of becoming a year old, it is routine for babies to have their blood drawn to test for things like anemia and lead. We opted out of having it done the day of his appointment since he had three vaccinations that day (more than enough needles I think), so we did it a week later. Robbie's mom had the day off, so she was able to come with me and make a day of it.
First I went to pick up my wedding ring, which I had re-sized at a local jeweler. The end of pregnancy made my fingers swell, and a year later, even though I am back to my normal size, my finger is still fatter than it was so I had to get my ring resized. I had tried to where it on two different occasions, stubbornly thinking it would fit again, and ended up with basically third degree burns (ouch). But now, a size 5 (half a size up from what it was), it fits perfectly and I am once again visibly a married woman.
My beautiful wedding band
For lunch, Grandma treated us to Otto pizza. She had never been, and she enjoyed the mashed potato, bacon and scallion pizza. Meo and I shared a butternut squash, ricotta cheese and cranberry pizza, and brought home leftovers to share with Daddy.

Next was Meo's blood draw. The receptionist ladies loved Meo and showered him with compliments and a sticker as he excitedly walked holding Mommy's hand around the lobby. The worst part about getting his blood drawn was making him sit still. I had to have him sit on my lap with his back to me and with my arm wrapped over his shoulder and across his chest like a seat belt. He didn't like them putting the rubber bands on his arm, and he didn't like being restrained. He was crying at the top of his lungs with big crocodile tears before a needle was even in the picture. In fact, I don't even think he noticed when the needle went in. It was a very small needle and it happened quickly...they did a great job.

Cool grasshopper!
We got back the test results already and the doctor said everything looks perfect, except his iron levels are a little low. This made my heart sink because I have been working really hard to make sure he gets lots of iron since that is the most difficult nutrient to get as a vegetarian. But she said not to be worried or concerned, and that he doesn't need a supplement or anything, we just need to make sure he eats more iron rich foods. So since then we have gotten a cast iron pan to start cooking in (that is supposed to significantly increase iron absorption), have been offering him beans daily, and got a variety of iron fortified grains like crackers and cheerios for him to eat. I think he'll be iron rich in no time.
"Umm, this is a lot of food mom"
Finally, I had another eye doctors appointment, so Grandma was kind enough to stay in the car with sleeping Meo (my appointment was directly after his blood draw) while I had my check up. My contacts are doing great with no signs of the infiltritaous still, yay! And my new glasses came in, I love them! It's so great to be able to see again.

Beach Day with Mema!
Last Friday, my mom and I took Meo to Crescent Beach in Cape Elizabeth. You can already small autumn in the air and feel it in the breeze, so we want to fit in a couple more beach days before it gets too cold. My mom had never been to that beach, and I hadn't been since I was pregnant so it was a nice change. The sand is really fine and soft there, and the landscape is beautiful. All three of us went swimming twice (completely under too!) even though it was a bit more chilly than the lake water. Meo is such a little sea otter, it amazes me that he doesn't complain about being in the cold water. He has so much fun at the beach!
The only bummer about our time at the beach is that we were next to some really snotty mothers. They had a sunshade like us and there were three of them with their babies. Meo spotted one of the babies sitting in the sand outside of the tent playing with trucks. Meo LOVES playing with trucks, and was immediately attracted to them. He kept crawling over to them as fast as his little legs would propel him, only for me to scoop him up and bring him back. I felt so bad. After several times of this act, Meo was getting frustrated. I looked at the moms and asked if it was okay if he played with the little boy, but they just gave me dirty looks and ignored me. Even the baby was a snot and scooped up his toys when Meo started reaching for them. Meo was so frustrated when I carried him off after that he started crying, and my mom and I had to move further down the beach so that he wouldn't see the trucks any more and be content to play with us again. I saw one of the moms later on a boardwalk and smiled at her and she didn't even have the courtesy to smile back. What a bitch. Seriously, I have not been around such snotty people since I transferred out of Connecticut College. How does she know how much money I have? How does she know how educated I am? I can almost guarantee that I am more educated and talented than she is; I am at least a hell of a lot nicer. Ugh. I am glad my mother and I still were able to have fun with Meo.
We stopped at Whole Foods to get food for the beach, and Meo wanted to push the cart

Rainy Day Fun
We had a stormy/rainy day at some point last week and I was feeling tired and lazy. Normally I never watch tv or movies with Meo, but Meo got a really awesome Ghibli movie from his uncle for his birthday and I thought it would be the perfect day to watch it. I know he shouldn't be watching tv until he is two, but I thought one time would be fun and wouldn't hurt him. My snuggled on my lap almost the entire movie! He was so cute! The movie is meant for little kids and is incredibly sweet, fun and has a great message about family, love, and nature. He pointed at things on the screen and I told him what things were. He laughed with the little girls when they laughed. I explained what was going on in the story to him. He just loved it so much, and I loved snuggling with him, comfy in our sweatpants munching on crackers. Meo held onto his Neko Bus (Cat bus), which is a character in the movie. I had gotten the little plush when I went to Japan for a few weeks in college and visited the Ghibli Museum. He was so adorable, and it was a special little bonding time for us.

Carter's First Birthday
This weekend, our wonderful Mommy friend worked very hard to throw a fabulous monkey themed first birthday party for cutie pie Carter. I remember the first time I met Carter; it was in our birthroots buds class and he was only 1 or 2 months old. I remember him well because he was so handsome and would always smile at me with his big blue eyes from across the circle. Such a beautiful boy! We had a lot of fun at his party, and it was great to see our other mommy and baby friends. Unfortunately I was incredibly nauseous and uncomfortable with the beginnings of a migraine, so we left a little early so I could close my eyes and go home and take a nap. Thanks for having us Sarah, Carter and Harrison; Meo loved his new toy monkey and all the yummy food! And happy birthday Carter! (his actual birthday is tomorrow).

Love is Better than a Warm Trombone...
...says Gomez. And perhaps me. And Meo. But we do love Daddy's trombone playing (when we can sit still, right Meo?).
Wednesday, the day after Meo's first birthday, we had his 12-month check-up. It was in the afternoon, and because I like to bring Meo right home after his vaccinations, Robbie came with us and worked his second half of day home. Robbie hadn't been to the doctor's with us since his very first appointment, so it was nice for him to be able to be there with us. They had fun playing in the waiting room.
Meo was a wild thing during his appointment. What a huge difference three months has made! Instead of calmly hanging out in my arms as we explored the exam room together, he was a monkey fighting with all his strength to get down and adventure. Eventually I gave in and let him do his thing while the pediatrician asked us questions. He got a hold of the crinkly exam paper at one point and at another point was pushing/surfing with the wheely table the doctor was sitting at. Busy, busy boy.
Everything went really well; the doctor said he looks and feels very healthy. She laughed at Meo's craziness; apparently her 13 month old is doing the same sorts of things. I think Meo found it very interesting to be examined because he sat still and was very cooperative for the actual exam. Here are his measurements for his 12-month appointment:
Weight: 22 lbs 9.5 oz (70th percentile)
Height: 30 inches (57th percentile)
Head Circumference: (95th percentile!)
This time Meo had 3 vaccinations. One was for pneumonia. The other two (chickenpox and MMR) were his first exposure to live (but weakened) viruses. I think this time the vaccinations were worse than ever before. He screamed so loud, both Robbie and I almost cried. I held him close and rocked him, but there wasn't much I could do to help until all three were over. The nurse was fast, thankfully, and right after she was done I nursed Meo and he immediately calmed down. Within five minutes he was back to his silly, playful self and was back to crawling around having a grand ol' time. Cheers to the powers of breastfeeding!
And cheers to a healthy, happy one year old!

So, another large gap of time has gone by without an update...and for a good reason. I had been working hard on an update for several hours over the course of several days. When I finally finished and went to publish it, EVERYTHING ERASED. This is despite me pressing save several times. I was pretty upset about this. I don't have much free time, and there are so many other things I would rather be doing than rewriting posts! Alas, this is important to me and so here I begin anew.
This week my sweet Meo turned 9 months old.
Happy 9 months Mattimeo!
Amazing. If you don't count the nearly two weeks that he lingered in my belly, he has officially been outside of my body as long as he was inside of me. That's spectacular. Today we had are 9 month appointment, but before I fill you in on how that went, I feel obligated to update on all the other cool things we've been doing. But first, some cute pictures that don't really fit anywhere else in this post.

Fun outdoors
Now that it is officially spring, the weather has been great; not too warm, not too cold. We have had a fair amount of rain, but can't complain about that since it's been much needed and we still are able to go out for our walks wearing raincoats and umbrellas. We have been enjoying picnic lunches, afternoon strolls, playing and exploring in the yard, and watching the kitties play outside. Here are some photos highlighting some of these moments.

Getting on all Fours
While visiting my sister's....house? She wasn't there but let her stop in so I could feed and change Meo in comfort, we were happy to see Jack the corgi. Jack is a dog that I used to pet sit. Now that Sam's room mate took over my position, she occasional watches Jack and he happened to be there that day. As you know, Meo loves animals, and he was so excited about Jack that he wanted to get to him. And so, for the very first time, he got on all fours all by himself. No crawling yet, but still, a big step.

First Sunburn, boo
A couple weeks ago, I decided to go to the breastfeeding support group at Mercy, which I used to frequent when Meo was a newborn. I decided to go not so much for the support, but for the company of some of my mom friends who I know go there regularly.

After group, a bunch of us went to have a picnic lunch on the Eastern Prom followed by a walk. It was beautiful outside, near 80 degrees. I had Meo in short sleeves, shorts and a sunhat, and I slathered sunscreen all over his body. However, I probably should have had him in pants and long sleeves (though I was worried about heat stroke) and reapplied the sunscreen mid-outing, because by the time we got home, his poor little arm and thighs were red. I was mortified. He must had fallen asleep in the ERGObaby with his arm up in the air, and since he was on my back, I didn't realize how exposed he was. I have never felt like such a horrible mother until I saw that burn. On the bright side, it didn't seem to cause him any pain, and I made sure to regularly apply coconut oil and/or baby lotion on his burnt skin throughout the next week or so. I also immediately purchased two light-weight, long sleeved, UV protected shirts for him to wear on our next sunny day walk. He will wear one of those shorts and pants; I am going to try my hardest not to allow him to get burnt again.
Book Club
Some of the moms I know had the amazing idea to start a book club. We are to meet once a month, with no babies, over dinner, to discuss whatever book we decided to read that month. I am wicked excited. It so happens I suggested our first book, "The Hunger Games". I've had the trilogy on my shelf for about a year, and wanted to read it before the movie came out. Robbie decided to listen to the audio version at the same time that I was reading the book, and we were able to have our own mini book club one Sunday afternoon by going to see the movie and discuss the book while my mom (aka Mema) watched Meosaur. That was a lot of fun. I love how intelligent and thoughtful my husband is.
Our actual book club mirrored Robbie and I's date: we met at the movie theater, Smitty's, where you can eat dinner as well as watch a film. So over dinner and cocktails we discussed the novel, then watched the movie, then discussed how the book and the movie compared. It was a lot of fun, and for the most part we were able to stay on topic. During the film, I was even able to pump breast-milk stealth style under a nursing cover, since I certainly couldn't go 5 hours without having some milk removed. I believe that was the longest I have been away from Meo. I missed him lots, but it was really fun and I am glad I went. I am looking forward to our next meeting.
Our First Book Club, "The Hunger Games"
Leaving Meo and Robbie at the door
Meanwhile, at home, Robbie was tasked the difficult job of getting Mattimeo to bed, which he had never done before. He sent me pictures via text message throughout the meeting, which delighted me.
First he made and fed him dinner...
"Hmm, I'm not so sure about this broccoli"
Then he gave him a bath...
Had a little massage and some naked time...
Then he gave him a bottle, which he took like a champ...
And after many successful attempts to put him to sleep by rocking him, he got him to sleep on his back in the ERGObaby. He then walked around for an hour and half watching Netflix shows on his iPhone while Meo snoozed.
I am so grateful to Robbie for not only being willing to watch Meo and put him to bed for me, but to be encouraging and enthusiastic about it. Thank you Robbie, you're a dream come true.
Meeting Pepere Rocray
A couple weeks ago, Meo met my paternal grandfather, Pepere Rocray, for the first time. It was a long overdo visit, but I was glad we finally made the effort to go see him. My brother and his toddler, Bryce met us there, and it ended up being a very nice visit. Pepere was thrilled to meet Meo, and seemed to adore him.

Visiting Family
After visiting my Pepere, my brother and I went to visit my mom. It was really cute to see Bryce and Meo "play" together. At this point, they mostly just watch each other. But they are definitely starting to interact more and soon I am sure they will have crazy fun.

Later that weekend, Robbie and I went to visit my Dad and Step Mom. While Meo was very happy to see and snuggle his Memere and Pepere, he was especially enthusiastic about seeing Harley. For some reason, he can't get enough of that big, goofy pup and is always cracking up with laughter when he sees him.

Game Night!
We managed to fit in a game night with our friends recently. Our friends, Andrew and Lauren, have a spare bedroom so Robbie, Meo and I were able to spend the night. Since Meo doesn't do well in the car after 6:30 at night, this made game night possible. Unfortunately, Meo didn't really want me to sneak away to play games while he slept, and after several failed attempts I eventually gave in and curled into bed with him for the night. So I didn't get to play very many games, but still enjoyed getting to see everyone and catch up a little. Robbie, on the other hand, enjoyed playing many games and had a grand ol' time drinking beer and wine and being goofy. I'm glad he had so much fun, he deserves to have carefree nights like that...it doesn't happen very often any more!

Last Ever Seedlings Class
Last week, we officially had our last Blossoming Newborns Seedlings class at Birth Roots. It was bittersweet. Sweet because we have come so far and have formed so many great bonds. Bitter because we have grown to treasure our time at Birth Roots, and we will truly miss going regularly. These Blossoming Newborns classes have given me the opportunity to meet other moms and babies, to see how other moms are doing things, to see how other babies are progressing, to ask questions, to give/receive support, and most importantly begin some important friendships. I hope to continue to be a part of the Birth Roots community, it truly is a wonderful organization.

Up, Down Game
One of Mattimeo's new favorite game is one we fondly refer to as the "up, down game". To play, Meo sits in front of someone, reaches for their hands or fingers and pulls himself up to standing (unaided by the adult). Once standing, he promptly plomps back down onto his butt and repeats the act of going up and down over and over again. He can't get enough of it. See for yourself!

Croup
We had our first real health scare with Mattimeo this weekend. On Sunday, Mattimeo woke up coughing around midnight. Robbie and I though perhaps he was choking on some pooled milk or saliva, or perhaps one of my stray hairs. The coughing was persistent, and his breathing was strained as well. Se we sat him down and played with him for about an hour (once the coughing stopped) waiting for his breathing to go back to normal. Eventually (nearly half of bag of dried mangos later...Meo was hungry!), it did and we went back to bed.
At 3 am, the coughing started up again. This time we knew something wasn't right, so Robbie proceeded to call our doctor while I ran upstairs and turned the shower on as hot as it could go hoping that sitting in a steamed room with him would ease his struggle. The on call nurse was concerned he was having an allergic reaction to something and suggested we either call 911 or bring him to the emergency room. Since we currently live so far away from the hospital, we decided to call 911. When the medics came, Meo was almost breathing regularly again, but did manage to cough once before they left. They said that the "barking seal" cough he had was an indication that he had croup and that we should bring him into the emergency room right away since it's better treated if caught early. Croup is a virus that causes tightness in the upper respiratory system, and apparently it has been going around lately; the medic said his little girl and his 8 month old both just got over it.
So by 5 am Robbie and I were in the very empty emergency room. Robbie's Dad works at the hospital as the manager of Environmental Services, so he joined us for part of our visit. Meo was in very good spirits while we were there and was hardly acting sick at all. All of the nurses, staff and doctors loved him and people kept coming in to peak on him and play with him. Meo loved it. The doctor confirmed that he had a very mild case of croup and gave him and oral dose of a steroid to help open up his throat to make breathing less difficult.
Three days later, Meo is doing fine, although he still has a bit of a cold which consists of a slight cough and runny nose. The second night that he had croup he woke up frequently crying. He had been nursing a lot and I assumed he was crying because I didn't have any more milk for him. I was very tired and not thinking straight. Around 3 am, I came to my senses and realized he kept waking up because he couldn't breath and promptly took him for a walk outside (as suggested by the doctor), hoping the cool air would help him open his throat. It worked like a charm and he slept the rest of the night tearless. We have been sleeping with a humidifier all week, being sure to get plenty of fresh air and kept Meo in the bathroom when I took showers so he could breath in the steam. He has been doing awesome, but unfortunately passed his cold onto Me, Robbie and Grandma!

Gardening!
All of the seedlings we started indoors have been doing very well, and this weekend we decided it was time to get them into the ground.
Cucumber Seedlings
Marigold Seedlings
On Saturday we started gardening. Robbie's dad had already rototillered and composted the garden earlier that week. So on Saturday we were busy mending the cucumber trellises and planting the cucumber seedlings, placing tomato cages in the ground and planted the tomato seedlings, building hills and planting the zucchini and summer squash, and erecting a semi-functional twine fence.

On Sunday we completed the garden by putting in interior fences/guidelines, making bean teepees and planting the bean seeds, we planted the marigold seedlings strategically around the tomatoes, and sowing the beets, radish, kale and baby spinach seeds. Meo enjoyed both days of gardening immensely, whether he was observing from one of our backs in the ERGObaby, or playing in the garden eating dirt and sticks.

Meo is on the Move!
One day shy of 9 months old, Mattimeo officially became mobile. I was downstairs doing yoga after my run, when Robbie's dad called down to me, "He's crawling!!" Sure enough, when I came upstairs he was scooting at high velocity to get to a cat toy that Robbie was taunting him with a couple yards away.
He is not on his hands and knees yet, but he uses his knees, toes and elbows to rapidly inch worm his way across rooms. It's only been a few days, and already he is getting faster and more sure of himself. He loves to go after block towers and knock them down. This has become sort of a game with us: see how tall I can build my tower before he scoots over and knocks it down.
He also scooted over to his little bookcase today and started taking out his toys and board books. I put that stuff down on his level intentionally, and it was fun to watch him finally able to crawl over and have at it. I am so proud of my little mover.

9 Months Old
So there you have it, we now have a moving, happy 9 month old boy! Today he had his 9 month wellness check-up. The doctor said he was so handsome, and very smart. In fact she said he was perfect. Here are his stats for this month:
Weight: 19 lbs 10.4 oz (50th percentile) Length: 28 inches (50th percentile) Head Circumference: (90th percentile)
We are so proud and in love with our baby boy. Before you know it, he will be walking...
