Family Donelson: He's HUGE!

Well, not really. But we did get some awesome news from the doctor today. Not only is JP back to his birth weight (the normal 2-week milestone), he's actually surpassed his birth weight by more than a pound! He was 6-5 at birth, and he weighed in at 7-8 today. That's some good milk!

We're really starting to settle in to a routine. JP goes to bed much easier when he's had a bath, so we do that every night at 830. Mom and Dad end up enjoying a little bit of quiet time, and then hitting the sack right afterwards. We're almost through the second season of The West Wing, which we have been watching as we eat dinner (and sometimes as JP eats dinner). He's still up every 2-3 hours throughout the night, but we're dealing with it. It helps mom in the afternoon to grab a quick nap once Josh can break free of work. We even had lunch as a family today, out in public.

Here's something I've been waiting to do. I'd like to introduce you to the many faces of JP ... (insert dramatic movie-guy voice here).

We start with a little boy who's pretty chill ...

But you know and I know that doesn't last long ... very soon he demands your attention. He's dramatic, he's glamorous! And he's tired of dealing with the common folk.
