Ash Wednesday

John and I just made it to the 830 mass this morning.  We could not miss John's first "Ash Wednesday" mass.  Not that he was awake during any part of it.  But on the bright side, I did not have to worry about him crying.  He looked adorable asleep in his stroller.  We stayed in the back of the sanctuary.  I am still not confident enough to actually sit at one of the benches in case he starts crying.

He has been a little more fussy these last couple of days.  We are not sure if it's related to the ongoing digestive issues (the diet is not working), teething (he has been drooling a lot), some other issues or just having some off days.  Of course, it could also be that he is a little spoiled.  Grandma Ellen walked John around the house after his meals.  He actually would demand it.  John knew he could get away with it if it was grandma.  The little stinker!  

John startled by the Mommy Paparazzi.
Notice how he is losing his hair.

John had enough of the B umbo and the sunglasses.
(Aunt Pau said he was playing his air guitar.)

John and I joined Grandma Ellen and her high school friends for lunch on Monday.  They all gushed over him.  And John enjoyed four extra grandmothers loving on him.  Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures because the camera battery was not charged. Arg!  He showed off giggling and smiling.  He cuddled with all of them.  Do children have a sixth sense about grandmothers?

John walked around by Grandma Ellen.
Did you notice his spoiled look?

On other news, John is really enjoying his baths.  He now splashes and moves like a tadpole in the tub.  The last three nights I have been soaked trying to bathe him.  John still enjoys relaxing in the tub, but it's nice to see him smiling and playing more.

So it totally looks like he is playing an air guitar with the sunglasses his mouth open....
