Weekend of Firsts

This weekend was another weekend filled with firsts....

1. You visited your first hotel - we went to visit Grandma Patty and Auntie Liz at the hotel while Sarah did my toes (and entertained you).  All the guys had left to check out the town, but your cousin Owen was around to hang out.  He definitely wanted to play and calm you.  I'm not entirely certain you enjoyed your first hotel experience...

2. Saturday was your Uncle Mike's and Auntie Cherise's wedding!  You made your first Weber family picture and you weren't screaming in it (way to go little man).  You and I hung out in the back of the church during the ceremony as you were a bit restless with all the people and noise.  However, Mom was able to enjoy the service because as long as I was rocking you did not cry.

3.  Their reception was held on a boat, so you had your first boat ride too.  I think your favorite part was laying on the couches right over the motors.  You liked the vibration and were laughing/smiling for a good 30 minutes.  Here is a picture of the first boat you rode on:

4. Sunday was Daddy's first Father's day with you.  He's already been enjoying the pillows that we gave him.  He's been sleeping really well for the last few days, which we both think is really important since he loves his sleep!  Here's a picture with you and Dad on Father's day.

5. Friday night you started sleeping without a sleep sack swaddle.  You're now an arms free sleeper and you make it through the night. It's fun to watch you on the video monitor when you stir in the middle of the night and also watch you stretch it out/wake up slowly in the mornings.  Here's a picture of your new sleeping pose.

Some other things going on in life right now.  Dad is taking advantage of being home with you each day and having the opportunity to dress you.  This is the picture I received last week of you in his favorite team (of course you have your dukes up).

Besides having your dukes up in the picture, I like to think you really do not like the White Sox, since I also got this picture of you covering up the logo. 

You are such a cute little man.  And while this past weekend overwhelmed you and you were definitely overstimulated, not to mention overtired (you slept most of Sunday)....you definitely made it through your first wedding weekend.  We were able to celebrate with a lovely couple and welcome an Auntie into the family (officially - we've of course been calling her that since you arrived).  Unfortunately, we did not get a single family picture of all three of us dressed up (maybe next time). And now, you're such a big boy sleeping without arm restrictions and not waking yourself with the uncontrolled arm movements.  Love ya little man...each day I cannot help but smile when I get to spend time with you and experience new things with you.
