Ahead Of The Curve

John Thomas had a big time this week. He'll be six weeks old on Wednesday and he's already experienced his first girls' night out with mom. Friday we (Sarah, Charlotte, Angelina, Kim and Kinsley) grilled out at Kim's new home. It's a gorgeous house and a great place to start a new family. As you can see in the picture, John Thomas was not the life of the party. Hopefully he will continue to be this disinterested in girls for about 18 more years.
You may not be able to tell, but this was JT's first trip in the car where he actually stayed awake from point A to point B. Don't worry, I was at a stop sign when I took this picture with my phone.

Mom and Dad, this picture is for you. Jason and I cooked lamb chops, baked potato and braised spinach for dinner on Saturday night. Who needs a date night out when we can eat like this at home?

We also ventured out into public on Sunday. It was our first time at church as a family. He stayed awake for nearly the whole service. Although we were about two minutes late, I would consider the outing a success.

John Thomas started his "tummy time" this week. You won't believe this, but he rolled over today! He may be small for his age, but he's a strong little guy. See for yourself.

Maybe it was Chester's ability to model "tummy time" that helped John Thomas work extra hard to roll over. Either way, I'll take all the help I can get.
