Somehow in the chaos of preparing for the surgery, we forgot to mention that John now laughs out loud! He did it for the first time on Monday, January 26th. Yes, I know the exact date (after the 3 pm feeding). It's obviously 1st-child syndrome. He has done it a few more times since then, but still not as much as he smiles. And John now graces us with beautiful smiles everyday. He specially loves it when you kiss him on the neck. Of course, not as much as he loves cuddling on his daddy's tummy.
He has found the puppies. Or, more likely, he is actually paying attention to them. And the puppies now also appear to realize that John is a human... a tiny one, but human none the less. Two days ago Sandy, the cocker spaniel, started bringing John one of her favorite toys. She places it on his lap while he is on his bouncer and stares at John. I tried explaining that John can't throw yet. The concept appears to be lost on her as she continues to do it.
As to Bevo, the beagle, he is bound and determined to make sure John sticks to his feeding routine specially during the night. Bevo will get up and shake his head making his tags jingle trying to wake us and John up. This morning, Bevo tried waking up John multiple times because he wasn't up for the 430 am feeding. Try explaining to a beagle that John's schedule is off because he ate at 3 am instead.
Today we have a busy day: Costo, "Home Depot, maybe Beth Bath and Beyond. We just don't know if we'll have time. We just don't know."

Yes, almost every aspect of John's life is recorded.

She kept mom from going nuts in the waiting room.
The inpatient unit was quite nice and
John's room was large.
