Monday, Bill's parents came to visit and brought our niece Emily, who has been wanting to get back here to see John. She came with her mom and sister when John was still in the hospital, but didn't get to hold him, so she made sure she had plenty of baby-holding time when she was here. We had a nice visit, and John was very happy to have people hold him while he was sleeping. He actually stayed awake for quite a while when everyone was here, even at lunch for part of the time, and the car ride both there and home.
After our visitors left, Bill and I took John to the mall for the first time. We took his stroller and did a little shopping. John, of course, was great. Despite wanting to be awake from 12ish to 3ish every night, John is really a very easy baby, so sweet and easy to take care of. He continues to do well and is really packing on the pounds.
I went by school today to do some work in my room, mostly pushing furniture around. Bill stayed home with John since Friday when we went it wasn't easy. A former student, Abbey, was up there today with her mom, who is a PTA mom. Abbey helped me in my room- Thanks Abbey! :) Different teachers were there today working in their rooms and want to see John, so Bill will have to bring him by the school during preplanning sometime (the week teachers work before students start). I'll probably go work in my room again tomorrow. Bill may or may not come with me and bring the boy.

One of your nicest blogs. We really enjoyed our visit. John was a perfect host and entertained us royally. Emily had a great time too I think.

John is really growing by leaps and bounds. I am very impressed with how he holds his two hands over his head when you ask "how big is John". He reaches out to play with that other cute baby in his new mirror.

He looks so little laying on his poppy.
How is your classroom coming? Did you get all your stuff moved to the new room?

The picture with his Poppy is so sweet!
I like the pictures with cousin Emily, she looks like she really loved holding John. You can tell that he is staying awake more. I'm sure he will be talking in a couple of weeks. I like the Poppy picture too.
love,
