Clothes?

I've decided that I think my son is cuter with no clothes! And I think it makes him look more like me :) He's getting so big!

Sitting up has definitely made taking pictures so much easier!

Ducky Time

After our dinner outside last week, we decided to strip Jack down and let him "swim".

 

After he played a little bit, he realized life outside of the ducky might be a little more interesting!

I think the ducky makes a perfect make shift pool for our little one!

Oatmeal

We finally ran out of our two boxes rice cereal which only meant one thing - OATMEAL! The transition went perfectly just like expected.

Nursery

This past Sunday was another big moment in our lives! Jack went to the church nursery for the first time. They told me he did great, and I think I did pretty good myself. It was quite nice being able to enjoy listening to the sermon and sit in Sunday School without have to bounce, rock, or feed a baby. He fell asleep in the car on the way home so when he finally woke up, I realized how much I missed him!

My new trick...

Last week was a really big week for Jack. He found his tongue, he rolled from his back to his belly, and...HE SAT UP! I don't think I've ever been so excited. I've been sitting with him between my legs to where my legs and body are his support or I've had the Boppy around him. Then, on Friday, he decided he could do it on his own. John and I had to do a double take. Then, we quickly grabbed the camera and phone. We called, texted, and video chatted with quite a few people!! We are such proud parents :)

It's been a whole new world for us already. It is crazy how mush more sitting up allows him to do!

5 months!

Jack,

Another month down, and oh my, how much you have grown! You seem to be able to do more each day and your personality continues to grow.

At five months, you are still wearing 3-6 month clothes. You eat 5 times a day - 4 times is milk (~6-7 oz) and 1 time is your rice cereal that you LOVE. Your bed time routine is still spot on, however, we had to make you cry it out a few times now which we don't like. You wake up around 6:30 and lay down for bed around 9:30. Your baths are even more fun for you now that you are able to kick your legs in the water. I don't enjoy it as much though...I seem to get wet every time! You still love playing in your "spaceship" and your jumper. You have found your feet and your tongue, and it is precious. You can also roll from your back to your tummy, but you don't really care to do it. One of my favorite things is when you are playing and I come to you, you get the biggest grin on your face. I also love getting you laughing. It continues to melt my heart.

You are my love, Jack Everyday is a joy getting to see you grow. Remember my baby, God is going to do great things with you!


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

Happy Fourth!

We had a pretty low key 4th of July. We met Aunt Sharla and future Uncle Travis that morning. Then we went to lunch with them and the Wahlbergs. After lunch, we headed out to the Wahlberg's house to catch up. The rest of the evening was spent just relaxing. We did make sure to have Jack's first Fourth photo shoot :) I think I captured some pretty cute moments.

 His patriotic outfit did not last the whole day so we found the overalls!

Pleasure Pier

While we were in Galveston, we also made it out to the new Pleasure Pier. We enjoyed the rather hot evening watching Jake and Makayla ride rides.
