Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our little baby dragon!

Meet Jack, our joyful, silly, fantastic little baby!

Welcome to our family blog. Here you can get updates on Jacks newest adventures and generally what is going on with our family. Its been amazing watching Jack grow and change over the past five months. He keeps us entertained and amazed every single day and truly completes out family. He is our little miracle baby and I can't wait to see what he will do next.

Here's a quick pictorial update of how he's grown.

Jack Steven 5/28/11 9lbs 14oz!



Jack came screaming (literally) into this world on May 28th.  I had a very difficult pregnancy and a complicated delivery so when I first heard his little squeals it was like music to my ears.  Even at 9lbs 14oz he was still considered a preemie and had to spend a few days in the NICU.  It was an incredibly stressful time but he got a clean bill of health and we were finally able to take him home.

Jack loves his Snugga Bunny swing

A month later he continued to grow and thrive.  He loved swinging and napping in his swing.  He also was quite addicted to his pacifier which he has since grown out of and looks at us like we are crazy when we try to give it to him.

Cutest baby ever!

Jack has learned to hold his head up on his own, roll over, and has started to "crawl." Which is insanely cute to watch.  He puts his butt in the air and then scootches himself forward on his face. It looks ridiculous but he's making pretty good progress at it.



Bouncing baby Jack!

Jack has finally grown big enough to sit in his bouncer.  He loves it! It has all sorts of toys that make noise and move.  Then when he really gets bouncing it makes music and boing-boing sounds.  Its a riot to watch him bounce away.  When he gets really excited he makes these squeal/laughing sounds that we call his pterodactyl squeal.  It cracks us up.

 

 
Jack just lights up our day and brings us so much joy.  I look forward to sharing more of our precious little monkey!
