As soon as we got back from Washington, we got a visit from the other half of John Robert's family. Mom, Dad, and Roger came for the weekend and we all had lots of fun playing with JR (and with Roger's iPhone).

A Washington Wedding
It was lonely staying behind while Meg and JR visited Wisconsin and Washington, but before too long, I joined them at the Links’ home. I hadn’t seen him in about a month—two thirds of his life. He had definitely grown and was more active and aware of his surroundings.
It was wonderful to spend time with family, and Anna’s wedding was a load of fun. JR got dressed up in the khaki pants, orange polo, and blue sport coat that had been picked out for him, but the sandals didn’t stay on his feet long. It was hot at the outdoor ceremony and the little guy quickly got uncomfortable, but we ducked into the shade and the vows were soon completed and it was time to move to the reception.
He slept through most of it.
The next morning, while they were playing, JR began to coo and gurgle at Suz. So she made gurgling “wookie” noises in response. They went back and forth for a while. It was one of the strongest “conversations” he’d had to date.
The flight home went smoothly. John Robert was extremely calm and well behaved. We stayed the night in Atlanta, and had breakfast with Kathleen at a nearby café the next morning. While there, JR had a blowout—our newest term for explosive poo that can’t be contained by the diaper—and I had to change my shirt before driving back to Charleston.
