Five Months

August was a month full of changes...

J discovered his toes!!! 

I  went back to work, so J started to go to Nana's.

Peek-a-boo

All smiles

having fun with Daddy and Uncle Joey

Helping Momma

Mom is always looking for some help with the housework. So I decided to be nice and manage how she put on the duvet cover.  I know that Dad likes it a specific way.  

it's a hard knock life...

"I give her a 7, she didn't fluff the duvet enough times."

Seeing Double

During a recent bath, J noticed a handsome friend in the mirror. He couldn't believe his new friend knew all his same tricks.

Enjoying his fingers almost as much as the bath

"Who's that?" 

My New Bumbo

Thanks to my new Bumbo ... I can sit just like Mommy and Daddy!

Thanks Mom and Dad!

-J

Thanks Pa Pa

Mom also brought down a special gift from Pa Pa...

Dad cut J's name out of Cedar

We posed J to be similar to Pa Pa; we just forgot the remote.  :)

Florida Japps

Great Aunt D and Great Uncle M stopped by to visit.  

They enjoyed meeting J and looking at old photos.

Great Aunt D and her Mom, D

Jack enjoyed Great Uncle M's singing

Cooing over J

Grandma is so much FUN

J could hardly wait to see Grandma again.  She loves to cuddle, snuggle, and hold him.

He is so lucky.

She also could make him laugh and laugh, especially when she would bat her eyelashes.

Grandma the Great

J was so excited to meet Grandma the Great.

They really enjoyed spending time together.

J and Daddy

One of J's favorite places to be is in his daddy's arms...

On Daddy's shoulder

Catching a quick nap

So relaxed

All Smiles

J continues to have many different expressions.  The one that we love is his smile.

Wrapping up

The beginning of June meant the wrapping up of school.  

J and I took several visits up to MP for the end of the year festivities.  We attended the awards ceremony, the fifth grade celebration, team birthdays, and a post planning day.

 J spent the time hanging out with several beautiful women...

...he enjoyed being cuddled, cooed at, held, and loved on...

We appreciate everyone who helped make J feel special

Wow!!

So many changes from one week to nine weeks.

And so many more to come....

Two Months

J has changed our lives forever!  We are extremely happy to be his parents.  He is so much fun and each day we see him discover something new.  It is amazing to see the world through his eyes.  We continue to be amazed at what a miracle he is.  

He is getting so big

  

Home Sweet Home

Jack was able to leave the hospital on Saturday, March 26th at around 6:00pm.  Matt and I were so anxious to take him home.

When we arrived home Mom and Dad had decorated the front of the house.

We had already painted our nursery but I wanted to add stars.  I planned to do this with my neighbor, Kimberly, on Friday.  Kimberly knew that I had my heart set on having these stars up so she came over Saturday and painted them for us.  I was so surprised and blessed.

Mom, Dad, Matt, and I then placed the letters for his name above his crib and placed the final couple of pictures.  Enjoy the photos.
