Father's Day

Dearest Joshua David~

Well .... you still don't want me to sleep, huh?  :-P  After going to bed at midnight last night/this morning, you woke me up at 2:30am needing a bottle.  Daddy went to bed early and ended up sleeping through your crying.  By the time daddy woke up (after sleeping for 8.5 hrs), you and I had gone through 3 bottles!  Hummm .... maybe you can wake up daddy next time, ok?  :-)

This morning we gave daddy his gift.  Today is Father's Day, so you and I got daddy a cover for his Nook, the electronic reader that he got for his birthday (do they still have those by the time you're reading this?).  He can download books onto it, and then take it anywhere to read without having to carry around heavy books.  Pretty neat.  He's been wanting a cover for a while, so he was happy to open it.  :-)  We didn't have any wrapping paper that didn't say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Birthday," so we were creative with your wrapping job .... we used shopping bags and made a label from cardboard.  Daddy liked it.  :-)

We went to Chapel Hill for lunch.  We met up with Grandpa Jim, Gigi, and Uncle James.  We all went out to eat and walked around the campus.  Once we got to Uncle James's apartment, though,  you had a huge poopy diaper, and I ended up changing your whole outfit!  Daddy had you dressed up in a UNC outfit since we were in Chapel Hill.  So, I changed you and put you into something that said "Daddy's Sport" since it was Father's Day.  :-)  We got Grandpa Jim a gift card to "Inside Out Sports," a triathlon store in Cary.

It was hot today!  We didn't stay outside too long because of the heat.  Daddy and I worked out this afternoon, and took turns with you with your exercises as well.  You also did your tummy time and played with your toys.  

Daddy gave you a bath today.  You needed one after that big diaper.  :-P  You did really well with your barley and rice cereal today.  You didn't struggle very much, and both times you finished your bowl (3 tablespoons each time) pretty quickly.  Maybe tomorrow I'll give you all three: barley, oatmeal, and rice cereal.  You certainly are growing right before our eyes!  

Try to sleep a little better tonight!

I love you!
