Weight update and Visitation celebration

My first fancy church outfit.  Vest and sweatpants.  Best of both worlds.

Today we got the good news at the pediatrician's that Joshua has more than doubled his body weight! He's gone from 4lb 4oz to 8lb 10oz. Huzzah!! She'd like to see him growing faster,  but he just won't eat the 20 oz. a day that she wants him to, so we're upping the amount of formula to water ratio to give him more of a caloric bang for our buck.

Those eyelashes!

Sleepy time in church.

This past week on Friday was such a special event.  Visitation Catholic (where Paul works) threw Joshua a baby shower.  Towards the end of the school day,  parents decorated their cafeteria space, set out cake and drinks for everyone,  and then one by one the teachers brought their classes through so they could meet Joshua and bring a present for him if they wanted to. Everyone was so sweet.  The kids were darling in their reactions and the adults were so excited and happy for us. I love the school families Paul and I are a part of.   When Samuel passed away,  Father Michael focused the school's Friday mass on him and on our family.  It was the closest thing we had to a funeral for him.  It's wonderful to have a community that you can both mourn and rejoice with.
