Short one

Things have kinda slowed down for us. We're finally able to relax a bit, at least during the week. Our weekends are still pretty full. Last weekend we had the Walk-N-Learn. Vance did very well. It was a very hot morning. After having some cold milk (long story) he was able to relax enough to go for the walk in his stroller. This coming weekend we are going out of town for a wedding. I'm a bit nervous about Vance sleeping away from home. I'm sure he will do fine. I just hope he is able to sleep.

There's not much else to update on. I'll just leave you all with some pictures.

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend. Grandmom and Grandad Johnson were in town for Penny's graduation. They got in town Tuesday last week. We had a wonderful time with them. Friday. We had dinner together as a family every night. Penny and Justin were able to join. Vance got to see a lot of his Great Grandparents. They stayed down at the shop and were around everyday. I managed to get a picture of Grandmom with Vance but somehow we missed out on getting one with Grandad.

Saturday came and Vance and I had Mother's day pictures taken at Sears. Vance did so good. He loves to smile for the camera. After we left Sears, we met everyone at Pizza hut for lunch until we had to head over to the campus for Penny's Graduation. Vance was very tired and didn't want to sit through the ceremony. Chris and I took turns walking around with him. The family hosted a party for Penny at the FOP lodge here in town. Vance made his rounds and met a lot of new friends. We only stayed till 7. Vance was getting very tired.

Chris had a bachelor party to attend that night. It was Vance and I's first night without daddy around. It didn't go so good. Vance was up about every hour crying. I think he had a stomach ache. Poor little guy. I was so very tired Sunday morning, I was not able to make it to church. I missed out on my first Mother's Day church service. But I was able to stay home and be with my son. :)

At 1 we all met back at the FOP lodge and had a lunch together with family. Our family came and so did both Justin and Chris's families. It was a good time. Sunday afternoon Chris and I took an afternoon together and enjoyed the nice weather.

Vance had his 4 month check-up yesterday. It went very smooth. He was a very happy baby for the Doctor and nurses. He got a set of 3 shots. He cried only for a moment and then slept for most of the day. He now weighs 14.5 lbs. He hasn't gained much weight, but he getting very long. He's 25 1/2 inches long!

We've started Vance on some cereal. We jumped the gun a bit. We started him a few weeks ago or so. But he eats very well. Mom says he's a very "neat" eater. He eats everything off the spoon and doesn't make much of a mess. I haven't taken any pictures of him eating. I'll try to get some soon. It's very cute.
