Smoking

Today Oli and Layden slept and then we went over to Liz and Mark's for dinner and some cards. First we played some poker and we were on fire. Full house wasn't good enough to win, you needed 4 of a kind. It went on that way for six hands. Then we began to be a bit suspicious and I asked "Is this a pinocle deck?" Turns out, yes it was a pinocle deck. It should of tipped us off when three of us had a full house with nines (two showing). But why question when you are doing so well? Needless to say it did not go as well after we switched decks. I won the first round of poker, then Liz won the second. Then the two of us whooped up on the boys in pinocle. Just wasn't the guys night.
Layden is ever and always a joy, if occasionally a frustrating one. He loves peek-a-boo and is becoming very fond of sucking on his fingers. Recently he has begun to growl. He will be smiling and talking, then he growls. His new favorite noise.
