A Week of Firsts

We had a great last week, and it was full of firsts for Baby Harry! Tuesday was election day and he went with us in the morning to vote. He was a big hit with the poll workers! We then went out to breakfast and Harry and I were off to the doctor. Dr. Sowers said he was doing great, the jaundice was a lot better, and he had gained a good amount of weight (he was 8 lbs 3 oz, up from 7 lbs 10 oz at birth). Tuesday was also Grandma Shirley's birthday and we took her out to eat at Applebee's. He was such a good boy and slept the whole time. Wednesday, my good friend Jen and her 8 month old twins came over from Fishers to visit. I would say it was Harry's first play date, but he mainly slept and watched! Andrew and Noah are getting so big and cute! We had a great time with them!

Wednesday night was also a big first...Harry's first tub bath! His cord had finally fallen off so we decided to go for it! As you can see from the pictures, it wasn't a very popular decision!!

Come on, Daddy!!

All Done!

Thursday was an absolutely great day! Travis came home from work early since he had been really busy at work, and we went shopping in Muncie at Target and Kohl's and went looking at new cars since my Accord is seriously lacking in space since we added in the car seat and stroller. It was such a nice day and we really had fun together. Friday we went to visit Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bill with Mom and Grandma Helen and went out to lunch. To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Travis and I took the little guy to Los Amigos. After having so many meals there during my pregnancy, it was really fun to take him there. Hopefully someday he'll like eating there as much as Travis and I do! Saturday was yet another big day...Harry's first wedding! We made the trip down to Greensburg for Nate and Krista's wedding. This was also the first time that Uncle Chris had been able to see him! He was really good throughout the ceremony and he even seemed to like the loud music at the reception. He especially liked hearing Uncle Chris's drum solo on "Wipeout"...if only Uncle Rob could have seen him playing The Ventures finest!!

And before anyone asks, no the Bud Lights are not mine! Sunday was another great day. Brooke came over in the morning to visit. It was good to visit with her, we hadn't seen her since the fall! We then went to a nursery for some flowers, to Wal Mart (it is becoming a Sunday ritual!) and then Chris and his little brother Nick came over to visit and for a cookout. We were all worn out from such a busy week, but it was really nice to get out and have a somewhat normal life!!
