Caught on Tape

EDIT: Kansas trip pictures in post below!

So once again, John and I wake up to find Jack sleeping on his tummy throughout the night. We are still moving him back onto his back and in between the sleep positioner (or wedges as John calls it). Should we keep putting him on his back? Or do we let him sleep on his tummy? WE HAVE NO CLUE!!

Here is the video that I got this morning of Jack rolling over.

Kansas Trip

Last Wednesday, we loaded up the truck and headed to Kendall, Kansas to spend time with family. We knew if we didn't take the time to go this summer, it would be Christmas before we had any time to go up there. We had a great time hanging out with family and experiencing the end of harvest (they mean business up there!!) Jack got to meet(get spoiled by) more of his family! :)

Sorry it will take so long to load the pictures! But I took over 100 pictures and it was hard to pick which ones to share.

Here is Jack while Daddy was trying to change him on the way to Kansas. We stopped at a rest stop to eat our sandwiches. Jack LOVES being outside, so it was the perfect stop!

Pops and Jack just hanging out!

Grandaddy and Jack

Great Grandma Dixie and Jack (Check out that face!)

Krista and Jack (this might have been right before he spit up on her-marking his territory) =)

Jack, Momma, and Daddy went swimming in Aunt Cindy and Uncle Mark's pool.

Seriously... isn't he just the cutest!! Check out his balding head! :)

Gram (Jack's GREAT GREAT Grandmother) and Jack meet for the first time.

Jack just hanging out with his Daddy(just before he stained the carpet-Jack NOT Daddy)

Just before we left for home. I HATE goodbyes. :(

This was such a special trip. Not only did we get to experience the farm in a new way, but Jack got to meet family that love him so much! We are truly blessed by our family. We thank God for each and every one of you! We can't wait to see you all again!

Another Developmental Milestone for Jack

So each night when we put Jack down to sleep we get his sleep positioner out and centered in his bed. Then we gently place Jack down between the positioner, so he won't roll over in the middle of the night. Then we cover him up and tuck in his blanket so it doesn't cover his face. However, Jack obviously has a mind of his own.

Here is a picture of what Jack looks like on his back. Here he was just playing in the T.V. room with out his positioner.

Here is Jack after a night alone. He wants NOTHING to do with that sleep positioner OR the middle of his bed.

Here's another shot. Notice where the sleep positioner (blue and yellow) and his covers are. P.S. I tried to rotate this picture, but it wouldn't work. Sorry. :(

The sad part about this is, John and I have not seen Jack roll over. We know he can do it. One of these days we will see him roll over!

Also... be looking for pictures from our recent trip to Kansas!!

Jack's Big Boy Seat

Yesterday we decided to try Jack out in his Bumbo seat. He looked so stinkin cute sitting in there. When I first put him down he immediately turned his head and started watching TV. I guess he thinks of it as his "TV watching chair". However, Jack lasted a whole 3 minutes in the Bumbo seat. We will have to try it again another time! Here are some pictures I was able to get before he started his fussing/crying.

Watching T.V.

I had to turn his seat and then sit in front of the T.V. to get a picture of him in his big boy seat. He liked whatever was on T.V. That's for sure!

Happy boy for a few minutes!!

Daddy and Jack! Right before the fussing/crying began.

First Swim

Today John, Jack, Woodrow and I went to the farm in Bay City for some relaxation. We also thought we would take Jack and Woodrow for their first "swims". Here are some pictures from our day.

I promise Jack really did like the water.
This was actually right before we got him out.

Daddy and Jack

Momma and Jack (he kept hiding his face-- I think the sun was just too bright)

Easing him into the water.

Jack hanging out in the water with Daddy.

I took Jack back to the truck to change out of his wet diaper.
He fell asleep before I could even get his swimming trunks off of him. :)

Jack taking a nap with his shark towel.

Woodrow's turn!

He LOVED the water. He would jump in the water every time he went to retrieve.

Bringing it back.

Isn't that just the cutest puppy?!?!?

Happy 2 Months Birthday Jack

Today Jack turned 2 months old. Time really has flown by already. I wouldn't mind if it slowed down just a bit. Since he is now 2 months old, the immunizations begin. :( I was not looking forward to them today when we took Jack in for his 2 months check up. Daddy helped hold him still and the nurse made sure to give them quickly. It wasn't as bad as I thought they would be. However, if John's schedule stays the same as it is now, Jack and I will be without him for his 4 month check up. EEKS!! We will cross that bridge when we get there.

Now for Jack's Stats:
Height- 23 1/4 inches (exactly 3 inches longer from birth) 50%
Weight- 10 lbs 11 oz. (just over 3 lbs more than he was at birth) 25%
Head Circumference- 15 1/2 inches (almost as big as the circumference of his Daddy's forearm) 45%

Now for Jack's photo shoot with his Sock Monkey. We need to come up with a name for him. Any ideas?!?!

I like this picture because he was looking at his Daddy.

Check out his chubby belly! :) I love it!!

What Jack is up to these days:

• Tracking Momma and Daddy as they walk by
• Smiling up a storm
• Cooing and talking like crazy (he stares at our mouths when we talk to him)
  
• Trying to sleep through the night (I think he just likes that Momma gets up with him in the middle of the night)
• Looks in the direction of his Momma's or Daddy's voice
• Loves cuddling with his Momma and Daddy
• Enjoys being read to (I think he just likes our voices)
• Has been to the YMCA several times and has no clue (he sleeps the whole time in his carseat)
• Loves his paci
  
• Speaking of the carseat- Jack LOVES his carseat! He doesn't mind hanging out in there while we run errands.
• Traveled to Waco to see family last Saturday. (pictures below)

Daddy drove to Waco so Holly and I could spend time with him for Father's Day! Of course he took advantage of this time to hang out with Jack as well.

Jack also go to meet Julie!!

Kyla finally got to hold Jack.
Joshua and Jack meet.
Jack also got to meet his Grandma Jody. However, I did not get a picture of them together.

It's Official

Jack can NO longer fit in his newborn clothes. :( He's getting big way too fast!!

SLOW DOWN JACK!!!!
