Baby Baths and Basketball Banquets

After three weeks of dousing his belly button with alcohol, his tag finally fell off. It has made a world of difference in how much we all enjoy bath time. Now he can actually get in the water--and he LOVES it. He even seems to sleep better after bath time, so we LOVE it too!
We had his one month check up this week and he now weighs 8 lbs. 1 oz. He is growing so fast! On a side note, I cannot imagine birthing a baby as big as he is, so kudos to all the moms out there in the over seven pound club.

This might be my favorite picture yet! Everyone says that John Thomas looks like Jason and I hope so because he'll be a handsome little fella for sure! However, I do wish people would say John Thomas has at least one of my traits. For example, "wow, he totally has your eyelashes or elbows." Just a thought.

We have learned that he prefers to be mostly naked (I'm not saying who he got that from) and that he loves to be outside. We have also learned that he doesn't like to be strapped in to his car seat, which makes leaving the house just a little more exciting.

All the rain has helped the garden come in. As you can tell, we're still weeks away from having any produce. Can anyone guess what these will produce?

Sunday afternoon Jason got to babysit while I went to the basketball banquet. They gave me a plaque with this picture on it. Can you tell how intense I am and how much they don't seem to care? I haven't seen any of the girls since April 14th, so it was nice to see them. I also informed them that I'm not coaching next year. Miraculously, I was able to refrain from crying, which is a milestone all by itself. I think everyone understands that it would be virtually impossible for me to be gone from our sweet boy that much.

I'm not sure if Chester is trying to snuggle up to his new little buddy or share part of his cozy pillow. Either way, they seem to be getting along just fine.
