We Almost Made It

Jack has been so healthy. We went all winter without a cold or the flu. He woke up yesterday coughing and sneezing. In the night I could hear him coughing and it sounds like it may be in his chest. We are going to the doctor today. He is such a little trooper. One tooth is through the gum and he is working on another one. Despite all of this, he has been sleeping through the night the last three nights. The first night, we had been outside that afternoon, so I gave him a bath later than usual. I don't know if this has contributed to the sound sleep but we did it again the last couple of nights. Now we take a bath, read some books, eat and go to bed. Bathtime/bedtime, is one of my favorite times of the day! He just smells so good and looks so cute with damp hair (yes, there is hair there, he is getting more and more every day) and wearing his jammies :)

Out For a Wagon Ride




Cutie


That smile is so great!

Sitting Up



Jack is doing really well sitting up. We still use the boppy for a little extra help, but I don't think he'll need it much longer!

Where's Mommy?




99.9% of our pictures are of Jack and Daddy because Mommy is always taking the pictures.

My Two Guys



They are both so adorable :)

Yeah For Spring!!!



Jack and I had fun enjoying the weather with friends. They are all just so cute!

Great Weekend!


The weather was so nice this weekend. We took a couple walks and are planning to take a couple today. I bought a jogger stroller with my birthday money and love it. Jack really likes it too! We have had a rough couple nights lately. Jack has been awake for about an hour and a half the last two nights and cried for quite a while. I think it is his teeth. We can see two on the bottom. We are hoping he has some relief soon!

6 Month Check Up

Jack had his 6 month check up today. He is doing very well. He's in the 75th percentiles for height and weight and 90th for his head. He was so funny. He smiled and squeeled at the doctor. He loved the paper on the exam table. It was torn to shreds when we left. He has a tooth just about through the gum. He can sit by himself for a little while and is getting better and better at that each day. He was extra fussy tonight. I'm sure this is due to the shots and his tooth. He loves to eat! He can't seem to get enough. I usually have to cut him off and it doesn't matter what it is. I was looking at pictures tonight of when we brought him home. It is truly amazing how much he has changed. Those first couple months seem kind of like a blur now. I'm trying to enjoy each day as much as I possibly can!

Frustrated


This morning I was changing Jack and could hear someone mowing or running some kind of machine. I heard something hit one of our windows. I couldn't run to look right away because I didn't want to leave Jack alone on the changing table. I really didn't think much of it at the time. A few minutes later, I was raising the blinds and saw that our front window is shattered! I opened the front door to see if anyone had mowed. I noticed a lot of dirt and twigs on the street in front of our house. The city has been coming and cleaning up a lot of limbs across the street left over from the ice storm. I called Craig right away and asked him to call the city. I'm a chicken. I'm just not good at that kind of thing. I really don't like this about myself. I told him I just wouldn't know what to say if they were difficult. We'll see what happens.

Tired

I'm dragging today. I'm having to force myself to get some things done. I even got a little more sleep last night than usual and took a nap yesterday. I have done some laundry and dishes but have several more things on my list that I had hoped to accomplish today. It is only 1:30, so I will push on!

Fun Project


I know they are not nearly as cool as knitted bears that you can fluff up in the dryer, but they were fun to make!

Talented


Jack takes out his pacifier and puts it back in his mouth all day long. Sometimes he gets it back in upside down, but this doesn't seem to bother him at all. :)

I Love You...







not only for who you are, but for who I am when I am with you!

Growing



Jack has just about outgrown his swing. He still likes it. It moves VERY slowly with his weight in it . He is starting to figure out some of his bigger toys.

Just Too Cold!!!

I have been walking on the riverfront in the morning before Craig leaves for work. After watching the weather last night, I thought for sure I'd be fine with my winter coat, stocking hat, gloves, and scarf. It wasn't enough! The wind was so cold. Tomorrow, I will be wearing long underwear and adding the hood to my coat. Is this really April? Jack and I will be staying inside today. That's ok. I heard that a skunk has been sited at the Discovery Center where he and I have been walking during the day anyway.

Highlight of My Week


This is our new dishwasher!!! The one that was in our kitchen when we moved had a date inside from the early 70's. It worked for us for four years and had been leaking. We used part of our tax return to buy the new one. It is soooooo quiet while it runs. I love it!
