Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord!  John Michael slept until 3am this morning!  That's over 6 hours of sleep in a row!  That has not happened in weeks!  He has still been a little fussy and sleepy today, though.  I think that he is still catching up on his sleep. We did not have too much planned for today.  It's been kind of overcast and chilly so we have not ventured out and about.  We've mostly been in PJs today.  We are planning on having gumbo for dinner and Jordan's mom is coming over to eat with us.

In other exciting news...John Michael learned to use his Nuk sippy cup this afternoon!  A little water and pear juice won him over and he took to it right away. I have no idea if the doctor would approve of this, but he likes it.  It's amazing what a little prodding from MeMe will do!  He grabbed the little handles and put it right in his mouth.  What a big boy!  He took two naps over at Gran's this morning and that meant that I got to also take an hour-long nap.  That has not happened in a very, very long time.  I am hoping that I can start catching up on some much-needed sleep, otherwise, these dark circles aren't going away anytime soon. 

Sippy cup!

We spent much of the morning over at Gran's house.  Jackson has been staying over there and he is liking being spoiled with lots of petting, snuggles in the big bed, and beef broth on his doggy food.  John Michael got to meet his great-great-aunt Dot this morning.  I did not take any pictures, but she was excited to finally meet him.  We are hoping to to have a play-date with Lindsey and her lil guy, Landon.  We still have not gone up to Boaz to the outlets yet either.  Maybe John Michael will start feeling better and less fussy and we can do some more things here over the next week.

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come!

 

Taking a loooong nap in the swing!

Verse of the Day:

Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9 

What a comforting verse!  It just doesn't get more simple than that:  God is with you wherever you go!
