Catch up



The past week or so has been both wonderful and trying. We've seen the doctor two more times than originally planned. Once to correct a routine procedure gone terribly wrong (the doctor even said he's never seen anything like that happen before) and another time to check Eric's weight again. I guess he wasn't gaining his weight back fast enough. Well, we are happy to report that in just one week, Eric gained almost a whole pound! Now he is 8 lbs 12 oz! Good job, little boy!

Our first Sunday back at church was a dream. This little boy, dressed in his tie onsie, slept through 3/4 of it and didn't fuss once! Too bad that's probably not going to happen again.

Ignore the pink binky:

This last weekend, we were fortunate enough to be able to go visit Lance and Melissa in San Francisco! Joe participated in a simulation course given by the dental school there. He enjoyed it so much, learned a lot, and even won second place in a crown prep contest out of 61 people. Way to impress the admissions committee, honey! =) I also enjoyed my time there. Poor Melissa, I mostly slept. Although, we were able to see the dental school, take a driving tour of the city, and eat at the cheesecake factory! Yum!

Our amazingly good little traveler...he pretty much slept the whole drive there and back

He twiches sometimes:

Don't be fooled- he's falling asleep, but here is a little smile.

We are so glad that Eric took to a binky so well. You can see that it's in action:

Just hangin out

Wow, you're a brave mom! Road tripping just weeks after having your first.

We decided that binkies were gifts from Heaven! Life is so much easier with a baby that will use one!
