One Month Old!

Wow! Our little Jack is one month old today! I can't believe how fast it is going! He has grown so much in the short time that we have had him! He is even developing a double chin...oops! I think that he may even be 2 feet long or more! He is such an alert little guy and loves to check things out. Of course I am sad that when we put him on his lay and play toys, he turns his head and stares at the lamp in the corner...money well spent! Kidding, he has started looking at those dangling toys and I think that he enjoys himself! He is holding his head up pretty well and is getting pretty strong...which is so great, except when he is fighting me when I get him dressed! He loves his baths and I can't wait until he can sit up and start splashing! Jack is even sleeping a little better during the night!

Mommy got to see his first real smile today (one not occurring due to gas)! He was absolutely adorable! He has been such a good baby...he has his fussy moments though! He was a little crabby over Thanksgiving, but not enough to change the impression of him being the cutest baby ever! :)

I do wonder if the little guy knows what crazy parents he has though...if so, we might not have been the chosen ones! Here is a picture that Travis set up and seems hilarious to us...in a somewhat morbid way! We are really good and decent people...just have a very interesting sense of humor!

We had a great Thanksgiving and were able to spend the holiday with family and friends. Our sweet little niece, Lexi came to stay with us. And the next day my wonderful sister-in-law scheduled facials for us and I have to say that I am very interested in having them often! It was wonderful! Travis said that it took 2 years off...but he wouldn't say how old that made me...hmmm?



We have also started to figure out ways to catch some sleep...the pictures will explain!









Hope everyone had a great holiday and good luck with the Christmas shopping!!

A New Post...finally!

Wow! It is amazing how much time it takes looking after a sleeping baby!! I used to spend plenty of time checking my e-mail and updating the blog...but now the day seems to fly and it is over and I haven't even looked at my computer!! So, I am going to take this opportunity while Travis is home to update with a few more pictures of our little Jack!
We went to his 2 week checkup last Thursday and he is doing so well. He gained 12.5 ounces since his 5 day appointment, so he is now up to 8lbs 3 oz and is 21.25 inches long. There is no sign of jaundice, his belly button stub fell off and his circumcision is fully healed...(I'm sure he would be very embarrassed to know that I mentioned this in our blog! ) He was happy to go to the doctor until they took his blood! :(

Here is a picture with Jack's oldest cousin Lexi! She was very excited to get to hold him and he just slept in her arms. I'm positive that she is going to be a very good cousin to little Jack!
This is one of my favorite pictures! I think that it gives a glimpse of what he is going to look like as a toddler. He looks so serious!!




We went to "Grandpa Pete's" birthday party this weekend and had a great time! He slept the whole time even though he was passed around for over 4 hours! Everyone just loved Jack and Grandpa was so proud of the little guy! He is definitely not lacking in the love department!
Here is a picture of our sleepy little man! He loves to cuddle...and mom really loves that! I can't imagine a sweeter little boy than the one that Heavenly Father blessed us with! I think we will keep him!
