Day 53...time to show off

Mar 13

The time change messed with me this morning. I was out kinda late last night and didn't change the time on the clock in my room at mom's house. So when I woke up this morning, I glanced at the clock and thought I had time to go back to sleep for a couple hours before it was time to get up for church.
Mom came and woke me up 20 min before we were supposed to leave, asking if I was going with them or not. Needless to say, mom and I were a little bit late, Jack went on ahead of us.

Mom's not going to the same church she went to when I lived here, things sure have changed...for the better I think though. It was cool.

Martyn, as usual, did great. He just slept through the whole service...that was his first time going to church. Once again, all the ladies who mom had been bragging too got to come and oooh and aaaah over Martyn being such a cutie, and such a good baby....I was proud.

After church, mom and Jack went to the old folks home like they do twice a month, to have church service for them. Martyn and I stayed home and took a little nap on the couch, and just snuggled. He's so cozy like that. Then we went to visit with several of my old friends from my old neighborhood as a teen. We had a friend who just happened to be in town this weekend, so it was so nice to reunite with everyone, and see all their kids! That was the coolest part for me. Martyn got passed around and was just so good. I even nursed him (we were outside at a park) and managed to stay covered up, ha!
I noticed Martyn especially liked my one guy friend that held him. He just cooed and smiled and laughed, and screeched happily while Chuck was holding him...it occurred to me that Chuck was the first male to hold Martyn since we left Portland....Eli was the last male to hold him, and he's daddy...I think that Martyn was missing his daddy, and picked up on male presence. I thought that was interesting.

He was worn out from all the visiting once again, and ready to just snuggle with me at bed time. I love that so much. I think he's doing great and I'm trying to space out visits a little more now...I don't want him to get over whelmed.
It's so much fun to show him off to people though, and for the most part he's just wonderful and fun for everyone....Mom pointed out that in a month or two when he's really laughing, he's probably going to be really bubbly and giggly...oh man I can't wait!
