JHP's first airplane ride to Indy!

We got back last night from JHP's first trip to Indy. He really did well on both plane rides (thankfully!). We had some rough days in between and today hasn't been the best. Something I ate has gotten the best of him and that interrupts his sleeping schedule. Hopefully, we'll figure out what that was...

He got to meet most of the Pitchers including his great grandfather, John S. Pitcher, who will be 90 this year. Here's the moment of their first meeting. I should note that when Grandpa (although now Great) first walked into the room, John and I were changing a really messy poopy diaper. John S commented, "It takes two of you?!?" Notice also in the picture how much hair JHP's losing.

This next pic shows Daddy explaining to JHP that they were all named John: John Harrison, John Nolan, and John Simpson.

And this last one is of FOUR generations of Pitcher men: Great Grandpa, Grandpa, Daddy, and JHP.

We did weigh JHP on the Baby Scale Grandma has that came from the Pitcher side. He's up to a whopping 12 lbs, which I confirmed this morning on the digital scale here at the house.

There are lots of other pictures on the WebAlbums for your viewing pleasure!

Ain't he a cutie pie?!?

I couldn't resist posting this picture that I took today. He's wearing a bib because he's drooling now, especially when he's had his hands in his mouth. The bib is something new for him to play with and he discovered today that he could put that in his mouth, too. Often it just makes it way there while he's trying to get his hands in his mouth.

3 months and counting...

With little fanfare, JHP hit the 3 month mark on Friday (Yea - I know this is Tuesday...). I took a couple of pics. Here's one. The rest are on the WebAlbums. Nothing fancy. Just me and him playing around until he got bored (5 minutes MAX!)

You can't really tell, but he's getting big. We went to the Doctor on Friday and he weighed 10 lbs 15 oz! Boy my back feels it! And he's beginning to lose his hair. It's getting thinner all over. I imagine that within a month, he won't have much. And then we'll wait to see what color his new hair will be. Daddy keeps thinking he's looking more Buckley by the day and I can see it just by the big head. He's smiling all the time when you smile at him and he learned to stick his tongue out at you, which mean the drooling begins. You'll see the bubbles in the pics I took.

We leave Thursday for the big trip to Indy to see the Grandparents and Great Grandpa John and the rest of the Pitchers ( :( minus the Rodenmeyers). It's will be JHP's second big trip in as many months, but this time we are flying. Please keep us in your prayers that all three of us survive the trip without too much incident! I'm off to pack!
