Found Foot

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little precious!  Thank you for sleeping better last night and this morning.  You woke up for a small bottle at midnight, but then didn't need another one until 7:30am!  Whew!  Daddy and I got some much needed sleep.  :-)

This morning, daddy weighed you.  There was a 15.5 lb difference between his weight alone and when he held you!  Wow!  You'll be 16 lbs before we know it.  :-)

Speaking of increased weight .... I put your bassinet back up because it was too hard to keep bending way over to put you down and lift you up.  The lower level of the pack-in-play (where you sleep) is practically hovering over the floor, so it was hurting my back to lean over the high sides and pick you up.  So, I'll keep you in the higher area until we move into our new house and set up a crib.  :-)

Continuing the subject of weight .... daddy and I worked out this morning.  We took turns doing exercises while the other one held you and watched.  We both worked out for over an hour today!  Go us!  You worked out too because you did your neck exercises/stretches and tummy time.  ;-)

This afternoon, the three of us walked around the mall.  It was so hot today .... and we didn't want you out in that weather.  Instead of walking outside, we decided to go to the mall to walk around the building a few times.  I held you in the baby carrier again.  You fell asleep once we got there, but woke up and looked around later. 

Daddy cooked dinner this evening, and it was good!  He cooked some chicken with veggies and then roasted some butternut squash.  Yummm .... and we have left overs!  ;-)  You and I played and did tummy time and had a bottle. 

This evening, during one of your bottles, you found your left foot!  Your left hand went down and grabbed your left foot and played with your toes.  It was so cute!  I've never seen you play with your feet before, so it was exciting to see you grab those toes! 

Daddy clipped more of your nails today.  A few were getting sharp, and your toes needed clipping. 

Sleep tight little one!

I love you so very much!  :-)
