Over Independence Day Weekend, the Tomaw clan from Chicago traveled north to Hampton for a visit. Dana's brother, Jake, his wife Joscelynn, and their seven-month-old son, Jonah all made the journey and spend a long weekend with us.
HERE ARE SOME PICTURES FROM THE WEEKEND...
It was the first meeting of the cousins - and their interaction was pretty one sided. Jonah wanted to either chew on or pull on Karter, depending on how hungry he was. It was interesting - and a great lesson in parenting - in planning EVERYTHING around "the boys." We did manage to get out of the house pretty frequently. We went to a 4th of July parade in Cannon Falls, went out to eat three times (once for ice cream at the Dairy Inn), and went to church on Sunday.
It was great having some newer parents to talk about parenting and what to expect during Karter's first few months. It will be fun for the boys in having a close boy cousin in age to grow up with. It will be even more fun for Dana, Jake, Jos, and me as we watch our babies grow up together.
Karter is doing fine. He is awake ALL THE TIME now! :-)
But...he does sleep well at night. After a bath and feeding, we are in bed around 10:00 at night. Karter wakes up between 2:00-3:00 for a feeding, and Dana then feeds when we get up in the morning around 5:00. He is a growing boy - we think weighing close to 9lbs. 11oz. (Dana was at the hospital on Monday - and snuck him onto a scale!)
It's a great week here in Minnesota - but we wish we could be preparing for our annual Beach Trip with the Gray family. We can't wait for next year at the beach!!
