Our boy Jack

Jack turned six weeks old October 2nd. At once time seems to be going by so fast yet thankfully so slowly. Here's one of my favorite photos... the boy with big brown eyes. It's hard to believe that Jack is getting so big already and is doing so much! I feel so honored to be his mommy and couldn't imagine being happier! So here is a bit of catch up for everyone...



I have such a great mom! Post c-section, Mom offered to stay with us for 2 weeks helping with the baby while John studied for his DAT and I recuperated. She is absolutely amazing. I gained a stronger testimony for the power of prayer and service... though she continued her cancer treatments while she was here, she had boundless energy and I couldn't have done it without her. We love you!



Here's our diaper-clad boy on his two-week visit to the pediatrician. Jack weighed in at 9 pounds 4 ounces and still had his umbilical cord... it fell off later that day. Check out Jack's kick! I felt that from week 17 on during pregnancy. We think he'll be a great swimmer someday.



Sweet baby {and sleepy mommy} at three weeks old. I am so glad we found this rocking chair! Perfect condition, perfect size, great starting workout for the quads... all for only $35 on craigslist.


I love this. We went to check on the baby in his cradle and found that Jack had turned onto his side and was holding to the bumper pad. This is one of his many positions he likes to sleep in.


Post-bath cuddliness... Jack loves his baths. {and the cocoons his Daddy likes to put him in}


Grandma-great with a squealing Jack. Despite his new-found volume {still nothing compared to the baby downstairs from us}, I love his Jack-the-jungle-cub roar. He likes to let us know he is here.



Showing off his nightcap.


Kisses for Daddy.
