Mmm Cereal

So, we received the OK from the doc and we started Jack on cereal. I know this might come as a surprise, but he loves it. I mean look at the kid, he was born to eat. He knew just what to do when that spoon went toward his mouth!

Davis Received his Bobcat


Davis received his Bobcat! Can I just say again that I love the scouting program. It is so perfect for these little boys. Davis sat with me on Sunday morning and was determined to pass off everything he needed to receive his Bobcat. He loves going every week to be with his pack and who doesn't like receiving awards!

Different Faces of Jack

Jack is changing so fast, so I wanted everyone to see some more sides to him. Below is his grumpy face, which he does very well. It come out before naptime and bedtime and when Mom isn't giving him 100% of her attention. Below that is his drool face (you may have to click on the picture to make it big so you can see the big clear line of drool coming out of his mouth), this one tends to be the one he wears most often! I am constantly stepping into puddles on the floor and he has a big wet circle around his whole upper body. I need to invest in some stylish bibs.............

Jack is 4 months old!!!

Jack had his 4 month doctor's appointment, and is healthy as can be. His stats are below and yes, he is a big boy! He got his shots which was very traumatic for Mom. Jack is a little grumpy, but I would be to if I had 5 needles jabbed into my leg.

Weight: 17.5 88%
Height: 26 in 83%
Head: 16.5 37% (yep, Jack has a Petersen head)



This is a picture of the best pediatrician in the world! He is testing some reflexes by seeing if Jack will stand on his hands. I love Jack's doctor. I bombarded him with lots of questions and he takes everyone of them seriously. He even has time to pose for pictures!! He probably thinks I am the nuttiest mom ever.

Jack's Giggle

So every time we talk to my parents on Skype, Jack refuses to smile for them. They are convinced he is "Stone Cold Austin". Mark was determined to prove them wrong and we managed to get Jack laughing on camera! He may be an extremely high maintenance baby, but he does have a lot of personality!

Today is great because I'm eight

We are so proud of Davis. He was baptized on August 30th and it was a very special day. We had lots of family there to support him and we are so thankful for all of their help! He was so excited when him and Mark were all ready and dressed in white. He asked me why we needed to have any talks or songs because he didn't need those to get baptized. Ah, if we could only listen to the children more often!

Doesn't Davis and Mark look so handsome in their suits! I bought Jack a new church outfit for the occasion, but that morning I couldn't even button up the shirt because he was too big!

Yeah for our family. We didn't manage to get everyone, but with so many loving family members and friends that is an impossible task.



We went to the park after for a little fun. It was very, very hot. I was envious of the kids playing in the fountain. It was a great day and Mom is very glad it is over........
