Takin' It Easy

  
Papa Joe came to visit this past weekend, and we really had a wonderful time. I was glad for Josh and him to have some father/son bonding time as they fixed just about everything that was broken in and around our house. Not much going on this week. James has been sick, so we've stayed in most of the week, just takin' it easy. He seems to be getting out of it, so hopefully he'll be well enough to have his first spend-the-night-with-Uncle Michael-and-Aunt Jilinda trip this weekend! We are going to our family friend's wedding, so M and J agreed to watch him. It will be SO weird being gone from him for so long! We're going to stay with them, too, but it's a night wedding, so they're going to put him to bed. He's taking a bottle FINALLY pretty well, so that will help them out a lot. A few of weeks ago, when I put a bottle in his mouth, all he wanted to do was chew it, and when we fed him cereal, he constantly stuck out his tongue and made a mess. Well, last weekend, it was like he just figured out how to eat! He opened his mouth everytime there was a bite coming, and he swallowed every bite, hardly making a mess at all. A few days later, Josh decided to try the bottle again. He sucked it down like it was nothing! I tried it, too, and he drank it perfectly! Who knows why or how he learned that, but I'm glad it was not more of a stuggle than that. This week he has not done as well with the cereal, but I think it is from being sick. I think he's just not that hungry. Sorry, that was probably very boring to you non-mothers out there! :) Here is a picture of my sweetie pie with my favorite new shirt of his. If you can't read it, it says "If you think I'm cute, you should see my daddy." Of course, he already has a drool stain running down the front...very typical these days! He's also wearing jeans (his cousins' old jeans) for the first time, so I think he looks extra cute his outfit!
