How on earth can we possibly be halfway through the summer? I envisioned plenty of walks, trips to the pool and much more relaxing than has actually taken place. Oh well, now that our family is reunited in Pittsburgh, we certainly hope to spend the next few weeks enjoying some quality family time. John Paul and I had a wonderful trip to Munster earlier this month and we survived the largest storm to hit the area in years. We were pretty frustrated to have lost power for almost 24 hours but when we saw the damage that others faces, we were very lucky. Just a few blocks away families were without power for days, trees crushed rooftops and the winds literally uplifted driveways.
John Paul is in his 'stranger danger' phase right now and although it is hard for everyone when he cries or turns the other way when they want to greet him, I must admit, my heart just skips a beat when he tugs his arms so tightly around my neck. Fortunately, he does come around after a few minutes and reaches out to everyone! He has so many new teeth that his smiles are hilarious and a little devilish I must admit. He always looks like he is up to something!
Although we had a great trip, we were certainly glad to be reunited with Bryan and Lucca in Pittsburgh. Although it was an adventure for Bryan to return home and he returned after John Paul was sleeping, John Paul wasted no time smiling for his daddy first thing in the morning. John Paul is saying plenty of da da da da's but he hasn't yet addressed Bryan as 'da dad' but I can feel that it is coming soon.
We just returned from his 9 month well-visit and he is a healthy 9 month old baby boy weighing in at 16 lb 13 oz. which only puts him in the 20th percentile for his weight; somehow, he feels much heavier than that at times. The Dr. sounded surprised when I told him he was pulling himself up on furniture and taking a few steps when holding on to the couch so we are in for some big changes soon! How exciting!
