The other day I saw my friend Robin, whose daughter had a baby about two weeks after John's due date (we were due right around the same time). Marlie was around 7 1/2 pounds when she was born, and nows weighs around 12lbs; John was 6lbs, 8oz when we brought him home from the hospital two days before his due date, and he currently weighs around 12lbs, 7oz. So, he's currently at a good weight for his adjusted age, which is nice to know.
Friday night was Bill's monthly Poker night, and it was at our house, so I went out to dinner with my friends Shannon and Monique. We have gone out regularly on Poker night since I left Kemp Elementary where they still teach; we had to quit our monthly dinners when I went on bedrest, and then over the summer, so it was nice to finally get back into our routine. John, of course, went with me and being such an easy baby, was no problem. Of course, all the "boys" were still at thehouse when we got home, so John said 'hi' to all of them, and then he and I went upstairs for the rest of the evening.
Saturday, Bill's sister Linda and our nieces Lauren and Emily came over from SC for the afternoon. We went out to lunch and John was awake for the whole afternoon, so he got very cranky and was happy to finally go to bed last night. He has gone about 6 hours the past two nights between feedings, so I'm getting a little more uninterrupted sleep. Of course, I don't really feel rested, but what can I do?
Bill has been working with John on sitting up and also rolling over when I am gone all day. John still has a little flat head, but it hasn't gotten any worse and he is actually better at not keeping his head on that side when he is sleeping.
Today's pictures: John with Lauren; John with Emily; John with Linda (you can see he is kind of cranky in the pics); John this morning much happier after a good night's sleep, still in his jammies

What beautiful children! Em said he talked to her but she didn't get much of what he said. Loved it when he woke up rested - don't blame him for being cranky Sat. I don't like having my pic taken either. Glad you had a nice visit.

What cute pictures. Tricia, I know that you enjoyed your nite out with the girls and that Bill enjoyed his poker nite. John and his upstate SC cousin's look so sweet. Lucky little fellow to have so many girl cousins.
Great pictures of my cousins!
Love,
