12 Weeks

I love how his week birthdays fall on a Sunday. It makes it pretty easy to take pictures. Here's my cute guy at 12 weeks!

 

11 Weeks

My sweet boy is 11 weeks today, but who's counting?? I bought this outfit for him almost a month ago, but I felt like it was a bit too big. We finally decided to put it on him for church, and boy was he cute! The weather has been gorgeous so we decided to do a photo shoot outside. You can see his personality coming through.

Jack's Ranch Experience

We went to John's parents last weekend, and Jack got to actually experience the ranch for the first time. Last time he went, I felt that he was a bit too young, but this time, we went for it! Jack pet some cows, met his cow, bounced along in the truck, and rode in the mule. It was a pretty windy day, and he loved sticking his tongue out as we drove in the mule. It was super cute. He was a pretty content guy out there. I think he is 

going to take after his daddy!

 He'll be driving this thing before we know it!

 Jack's first cow - Jackie!

10 Weeks

My sweet boy at 10 weeks. He is starting to "coo" and smile more each day. I love it!!

Happy Birthday to me!

My birthday this year was on Easter so I celebrated it the day before with my family. It was a wonderful day. I am so blessed to have the family that I have. They make me smile.

Happy Easter!

The day before Easter, I decided to do mommy's mini shoot! I can't wait to really learn how to use my camera, but until then, I think I manage to capture some pretty good pictures. Gigi put together his Easter basket, and I found many props around her house.

 

 

Easter morning we woke up and went to my mom's church. After church, we went to Nana's house to visit with family and feed Jack before we had to head out. The weather ended up being pretty nasty so my grand plans for pictures ended with this under my Nana's porch. Happy first Easter Jack. I hope that with all the hustle and bustle of life, you'll never forget what an amazing thing Jesus did for us.

 

Guess who's TWO months!!!

Jack,
You are two months, and it is crazy. I loved taking your picture and seeing the differences from the last times. You are WAY more alert and not nearly as floppy :) Your personality is starting to come through, and it melts my heart. You are such a blessing you me and your daddy.

At two months, you are beginning to sleep more at night which makes one happy mommy and daddy. Daddy isn't having to wake up as much! You are eating about 4 ounces every 3-4 hours. You still love bath time, and the paci is by far your best friend. If the paci isn't around, your hands and arm sometimes hold you over. You smile and coo when you are happy, and you still burp with the best of them! You love looking at the picture above the couch and the fan in the front room. I love how easily you are entertained.

 

 

This was the "Mom, I'm tired" sign!

Jack, thank you for letting me pose you and take so many pictures! Hopefully you take after your mommy in being photogenic! Remember, God is going to do great things with you!

I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I will love you forever,

Mommy

Shots, Shots, and more Shots!

On Tuesday, we went in for Jack's two month check up. We (John, Shirley, and I) all came in three different vehicles all for one sweet boy! He weighed in at a healthy 11 lbs, 15 oz (4 lbs in 2 months!!) which was in the 55%. He was 23.5 inches tall (75%) and his head was 50%. Overall, we have a pretty well rounded average kid according to their scale. At the end of it all, Jack got his 3 shots and did pretty well. He screamed while they did it, but they are so fast, his crying didn't last long. He was pretty good once I picked him up. That night we went out to eat to say goodbye to some sweet friends, The Lewis's, and he was a pretty happy baby all night. That night he slept from 10:00-4:45 which was a first. I felt so rejuvenated!!! Grams did say he slept most of the day, though. I guess those shots wore him out! I wasn't able to get too good of pictures, but I did get a few.

Sweet boy, you are momma's champ!
