Thirty Eight Weeks

Dearest Joshua David~

Today you are thirty eight weeks old little man!  Time is really flying by.  Later in the month, you go back to the pediatrician for your 9 month check up.  I can't believe you'll be 9 months old on the 16th!  It really doesn't seem that long ago that daddy and I brought you home from the hospital!  

This morning you slept in!  You didn't need a bottle until 8am!  Whoa!  This was the first time in forever that you slept in like that.  And, since daddy had off today, we all got to sleep longer!  Woo hoo!

Today was Family Friday!  We went to drop off daddy's car to get inspected (since everything is fixed now).  But, once we got there, the line was too long and we only had his car so we couldn't drop it off.  So, daddy will try again early tomorrow morning.

We went to drop off the internet modem from the townhouse back to the company since we had to cancel service at that location.  While there, we ordered internet for the new house, but we won't get it until tuesday.  We didn't order cable since we don't watch that much television, and so many shows are online now anyway.  By the way .... by the time you read this letter, will people still watch television?  What kinds of new electronics will be out there?  I'm sure you'll laugh at half the things I say!  Technology changes so fast!  I wouldn't be surprised if the things I talk about are no longer in existence!  :-P

We all ate lunch out at the mall.  Then, we went to Target to pick up some groceries.  :-)

The rest of the day was spent cleaning and unpacking more things around the house.  I'm sure it'll be like this for weeks to come.  :-P  Uncle Brennan and Aunt Katie came over to see you and the house.  Uncle Brennan helped daddy move more of the heavy furniture in from the garage, which was a huge help since I couldn't do it!

You gobbled down your carrots today!  You had 3.5 ozs!  While we were out, we went ahead and got you more veggies.  Next, you'll get to try sweet potatoes and then squash!  

There was a really loud storm late at night!  It woke daddy and I up from a sound sleep.  You appeared to squirm a little, but you didn't wake.  Our neighbor across the cul-de-sac had a tree struck by lightning and it covered their driveway!  No one, and nothing, appeared to be hurt .... except the tree.  :-P

Sleep tight little miracle!

I love you so very much!  :-)
