family weekend

Last weekend was full of lots of family things. Friday night we went to uncle Jeremy's birthday party. Saturday we went to dinner with more family. Then Sunday we went to a wedding shower. I think that John Mark just KNOWS when people are around and he shows off. He slept the entire day Sunday while we were at church and the shower. Then as soon as we got home, he just screamed! I think he needed to exercise his voice... :)

Babies do weird things. Take this for instance- we have all these really cool, bright toys that make noise to "engage" him when he is awake. So I will sit with him and he could care less about these fun things I am shaking around him. Then yesterday I was reading a book and he was sitting in my lap. The cover of the book is pink and purple. He couldn't get enough of it. He just sat and followed the book with his eyes wherever I put it... He also loves my hot pink cups...

I have also discovered the wonder that is BABY EINSTEIN! John Mark LOVES the one that we have. Yesterday he was being SO fussy. So I put him in his swing and turned on the DVD... instant silence. He just sat there and stared. Then he fell asleep. He fell asleep watching it this morning too. Now don't go thinking I'm one of those moms who is going to let the TV raise my child... it's just nice to have something occupy his time when I need to do important things... you know, like post blogs! :)
