Wanted to post this shot Todd took of Mercer doing some Tummy Time. He's really holding up his head so well when on his belly... normally, he'd flop back down after a few seconds, but I think those days have passed.
We had a somewhat "normal" (for us) weekend... we went downtown to a social thing at my office -- in honor of a co-worker who is leaving that I like a lot : - ( Afterwards, we attended a photography exhibit that a former colleague of ours was in. We grabbed dinner afterwards and brought home a really tired baby. I guess being carried around in the sling while gallery-hopping and eating his bottle at a mexican cantina wore the little guy out? It was nice to do what we liked to do -- but we just had extra stuff to carry around (the diaper bag & the sling / sling accessories). It will make going out a little tougher for us, for sure, but it's good to know we can still do it.
We do go out some -- but it's either singly (I went to girl's night last week w/o Mercer while Todd watched him) or as family events with other couples w/ children. We have had some people offer to watch lil' M if we want to go out, but I don't think we've felt deprived / haven't "needed" to get away yet.
Saturday night, we had some folks over for a cookout. Due to the downpour, the cookout was done on the George Foreman grill indoors! The people who were over were former co-workers and they came to celebrate / hang out with us and little M. 
Don't you just love people's reactions / the attention paid to our baby boy? Even this guy, Dave -- who makes known that he doesn't like kids / babies -- wanted to hold Mercer and interact with him!
Todd watched Mercer basically ALL weekend. I thought they could use some time together since he & I were in NC last week... and b/c Todd is in Asheville right now for work. The NFL draft was this weekend & they watched it together.... and sacked out later as seen here! It allowed me to clean the house / work on some renovation drawings for a neighbor on Saturday... bake / cook / nap on Sunday. Exciting, huh?! It's all good, actually. Oh --- you know what's REALLY GOOD? Mercer's social smiling and his coo-ing / gurgling. Ahhhhh... it's the best! We're looking at video cams so that we can capture some of this (now that he's doing "stuff"). I think you can post little videos to the blog. We'll try to capture it and post some point soon.

Hey, we're famous. Finally made it on your blog. Sean, the kids and I had a great time on Saturday hanging out with you and Mercer. He's a great baby!
Sean didn't want to hold him at first, but then commented on how he liked it and Mercer. We're going to have to steal him away for the day (or evening) sometime.
You are going to have such fun being parents. Treasure each day and have fun with him. Before you know it..he'll be off to college. Who knows, he may even go to SCAD!
