USA! USA!

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello cutie!  Today we had a pretty relaxing day as a family.  You woke up at 5am wanting a bottle, which is pretty early for a saturday when daddy and I both thought we would sleep in.  :-P  Daddy volunteered at a soccer tournament, so he stayed awake (he needed to be there at 7am).  After your bottle, you and I took a little nap.

After you woke up, I increased your barley to 2 tablespoons .... you took it all with no problems!  You also had no reactions during the day, so, I think it's safe to say that you have no food allergies to single grain rice cereal, single grain oatmeal, and single grain barley.  Next stop .... veggies!  But, we have some time for that.  ;-)

This morning and afternoon we also did tummy time and played with toys.  You have your physical therapy appointment this monday, and you've been working really hard to show Eliza how much you've improved!  I'm so proud of you!  :-)

You took a little nap after your barley, so I watched more World Cup soccer games while we waited for daddy to come home.  Then, this afternoon, after daddy got back home, we watched USA play against England.  England was favored to win, but we ended up with a tie: 1-1.  It was exciting to watch!  USA plays again next friday, so in the meantime, we'll watch the other countries play.  I wonder if you'll want to play soccer when you're older?  I played in middle school and high school.  I also played some intramural games in college.  Your daddy and Uncle Brennan grew up playing soccer, and still plays in some adult recreational leagues.  :-)

This evening, we met up with Grandpa Mike for dinner.  This was your first time in a Chinese restaurant.  You didn't have anything, but you kept smiling at Grandpa Mike as he played with your toes.  :-)

After dinner, we went shopping, but we didn't get anything.  We're still looking for things for Father's Day (it's next week!).  We'll go out tomorrow though.

This evening we did more exercises .... you with your tummy time and neck .... daddy and I with out Wii Fit!  We added you and Punker (the cat) on the Wii Fit.  Now, all 4 of us have little computer images of ourselves.  You and Punker don't do the workouts, but it weighs you if daddy and I pick you up.  The Wii had you as 15.5 pounds, which is what we were guessing.  :-)

Sleep tight little man!

I love you very much!  :-)
