4 Months Old!

Jack is 4 months old today, I can hardly believe it. He's growing so fast and is getting more and more fun every day.  He has slept through the night twice so far, and those have been the most restful nights ever!  99.9% of the time I'm waking up about once a night with him, so its not that bad.  Jack has been such a joy in our lives!  He loves playing with his toys and is still totally enthralled with his hands.  You can see the wheels in his head constantly turning.  He is really good at purposely grasping at things and loves kicking everything- if he can feel something with his feet, he will kick it until it's gone.  He will have conversations with his Mamma (neither one of us know what we're saying) and even laughs now!  When we're outside he loves looking up at the trees and everything around him.  So fun to watch him!  Jack rolled over from his tummy to his back 3 times in a row a few weeks ago while I was Skyping with Hannah but we can't get him to do it anymore!  He is, however, extremely close to rolling over from his back to his tummy- he just has to move his arm!

Hahaha Jack took out his binky and put it on his face

This is as far as he'll roll over for now!

My Little Buddy

I really really love this kid, he makes me happy!  Last Monday (03/12/12), he rolled over, what a big boy!

What? Jack's Already 3 Months Old??

Another month has already come and gone.  Time flies!  Jack is so great, we love him so much.  Jack loves laying on the ground and kicking.  He loves chewing on his hands, cooing, and smiling.  He laughed for the first time 02/25/12- so so hilarious (I'll try and post a video of it).  He is so close to rolling over- darn those chubby arms for getting in the way!  Ha!  He's absolutely fascinated with his hands, and realized his feet are pretty cool too this morning during a diaper change. Jack has slept for a few 7 hour stretches at night, but average time is between 4 and 5 hours.  I still find myself just staring at him, he's so perfect.  Dan and I are seriously so blessed to have Heavenly Father entrust Jack's life in our hands.
Funny story:  We went to Steak and Shake (a restaurant) and the hostess asked if we wanted a high chair.  We were like, "Uhhhh, suuure" thinking we'd just put his car seat on top of it.  Then she said, "And did you want a kid's menu?" hahahahaha Jack will just take a medium rare steak please...

Two Months Old!

Can you believe it??  Jack is two months (and two days) old!  He's already shaving his beard and growing manly chest hair... okay, maybe not, but he is getting so big!  He's been such a content, happy little guy lately and so darn cute.  We're stillllllll working with him to sleep through the night, but he's showing us who's boss (and it's definitely not us).  He loves bath time, pooping/peeing as soon as I take his diaper off to change it, and going on walks.  We LOVE being parents to our Manchild.  And Dan is the cutest dad ever.

Mom and Pop Came!

We've been so blessed to have our parents come- first Dan's parents and then mine.  Pam, Dan's mom, stayed with us for about a week and a half and helped us transition, which we are so thankful for, then my parents came out for a little less than a week.  It has been great.  Thank you for all your much appreciated help everyone!  I love our family!

Jack got a new hat for Christmas :)

We went to Thurman's Cafe for lunch one day... this burger was huge and delicious.  Dan and I actually went a few days before this too haha.  It's just so good!  People wait in line for HOURS just to eat this burger!

Jack's blessing day- 01/01/12.  Dan did a great job and Jack only cried for half of it :)

I Can't Get Enough!

Jack decided today was the day he was going to smile non-stop and even giggle!  He is doing so well and we love him SO much!
