Well, not a lot of publish-able stuff happening around the Ward household. The heat is making me lethargic, both mentally and physically. When I first found out I was having a baby in May, I had all of these visions of taking him on walks with the balmy spring air spurring us on. Apparently, that's not in the cards for babies born in the Spring or Summer of 2011 because it is too hot to walk down our driveway, much less go for a walk in our neighborhood. So we're hanging out in the house a lot.
So, we're one week away from the last Harry Potter movie! Get excited, right?! I'm looking forward to it, and looking forward to seeing all of the Harry Potter fans lined up at the Picwood to buy tickets. We probably won't go see it on opening night, but hopefully we'll see it within a couple of weeks of opening. On that note, an excerpt from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that is a favorite of mine, as promised:
"'I knew your father very well, both at Hogwarts and later, Harry,' [Dumbledore] said gently. 'He would have saved Pettigrew too, I am sure of it.'
Harry looked up at him. Dumbledore wouldn't laugh - he could tell Dumbledore ...'I thought it was my dad who'd conjured my Patronus. I mean, when I saw myself across the lake ... I thought I was seeing him.'
Harry shook his head.
'It was stupid, thinking it was him,' he muttered. 'I mean, I knew he was dead.'
'You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall t hem more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? [...] You know, Harry, in a way, you did see your father last night ... You found him inside yourself.'"
And now, as always, more pictures of our little wizard:
Look how much he's grown! Thought I'd put these side by side so everyone can marvel at Jones' growth! He's a little chunk now ... we went to weigh-in last Friday and he weighed 11 pounds and 12 ounces, which is more than triple his birth weight (in under 3 months)! I decided we'll only go to weigh-in once a month now, since he's obviously not having any problems gaining weight, and it's kind of a lot of work to get up to St. Mary's for weigh-in every week.
The grey onesie with the tie and glasses is probably my most favorite outfit that I received for Jones. You can't see it, but it's got a dollar bill on the side of it, to the right of the glasses. I call it Jones' "banker onesie" ... anyway, it's super cute. I'm going to put him in it a lot so we get lots of wear before he grows out of it.
In the spirit of Harry Potter (and because, honestly, I can't really think of anything interesting to talk about right now ... I'm telling you, the heat is getting to me), enjoy (and get excited!):
