Stuffly

The best word I can think of to describe Vince for the past week is: stuffly. That would be a cross between the sniffles and a stuffy nose. He's been a little cranky and is drooling a lot, but the doctor assures me that his symptoms are not contagious. I am delighted to hear this because Valerie will be having baby Hartman #3 on Tuesday and I don't want to be in quarantine when it comes time to visit the newest addition! I will post some photos for you soon, but for now, here's a recap of Vincent's most recent developments:

We made it to the Johnson reunion in Spencer. We all had a good time, especially Vincent who never lacked someone to hold him. He met his Grandpa Lutton for the first time and you better believe grampa squeezed him plenty! He had a rough time at night...that is, he didn't sleep more than 20 minutes at a time. Who can blame him, though, really? You're in a stinky hotel; you have to sleep in the pack-n-play; you're sharing a room with your stupid mommy and daddy and you can't get a wink of sleep because the stupid baseball game is on; and your puppy's not there to protect you! How in the world is a boy to sleep in those conditions?

Gramma Sandy came to stay with us a couple times this week, so that was fun...and we went to visit Abuelita (that's Dan's mom) on Saturday. Vince is definitely not lacking for attention with all these visits.

He's still being a champ with sleeping all night (except, of course, when we travel, and the odd hiccup every once in a while). He's really cute with his toys now; he loves pulling them to his mouth and cuddling them. He also gets very cuddly with his blankets. And, not surprisingly, knowing his father...he loves to look in the mirror! heehee. Jamie says he reaches for his bottle and tries to help hold it up and he giggled while watching the Cubs at her house last week...you see: we do have the best babysitter in the world to let Vince watch the Cubs during the day! But Dan says that she needs to cut out the country singing...just kiddin, Jamie! Sing away, if it helps.

I will be sure to post some more photos soon... I have some really cute ones I need to download.
