Updates: Craig and my mom

We took Craig for his third month vaccinations a few days ago and got a chance to weigh and measure him. His weight is on the lower percentile at 5.33 kgs (that's 11 plus lbs) but he is a chart-topper for his height/length at 61 cms (that's exactly 2 feet). While I'm a little concerned about his feather-weight (he is such a small eater!), the pediatrician  says that his weight is perfectly acceptable. We are very thankful that he's healthy and growing.

A few days ago he gave his first laugh/chuckle - it was so precious! Since then, he's been laughing at us or with us when we play or talk to him. Yes, Jan, his laugh is the most wonderful sound in the world! Though affectionately known as the "cute frowning baby," he sure smiles a lot these days.

Someone commented on how long he looks in this pix.

A lot of you have been wondering about my mom. I am pleased to inform that she is doing very well. She is able to walk slowly now. While she still experiences a lot of pain - especially in the evening, she is quite glad that she is mobile again. In fact, she is planning to come visit us here in the Lion City next month! Thank you all for your love and prayers.
