Jack's Baptism

Crazy Cousins

Here are the girls being silly at Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had such a wonderful family filled weekend. Here are several pictures from Thanksgiving and the weekend leading up to Jack's Baptism. I will post pictures of Jack's Baptism once Matt and Ali return our camera, which they stole from us! ;P

Lunch at the train restaurant.

Merry Christmas

just making a few silly videos with the kids.

3 Months Old

I know this is just four of the same style of picture, but I could not pick just one pose. He truly is such a happy little guy. It is pretty rare that he cries for no reason and usually if he gets fussy while on his floor gym or in his bouncy seat it is only because he is lonely. The moment you sit down and talk to him he is all smiles again.

He discovered he had hands this month and he is starting to grab for the toys on his floor gym and bouncy seat. He is also becoming ticklish. It is pretty easy to get him to smile or even laugh if you tickle his belly. He loves to "talk" back and forth with you. Jack is really starting to watch Gretchen. If she is playing near by he always turns his head to see what big sister is up too.

He is turning into a champion sleeper at night from 8-8 most nights. He does nap but we have not developed any sort of pattern yet. He usually only naps for a half an hour at a time and does it several times a day. We are hoping his naps start to lengthen this month and become more predictable.

Professional photos

I think this is my favorite one of Jack. Can you believe he is going to be three months old on Thursday?

Gretchen's special afternoon

We took Gretchen to see a special showing of the Wizard of Oz. She loved it. I was afraid she might be scared of the witch, but she did not even blink. The funniest part of the afternoon was when they say "Lions and Tiger and Bears, Oh My." Gretchen yelled out "and Bamboons (Baboons)." Nathan and I busted a gut. It was wonderful to be able to have both of us lavish her with attention (and ice cream) for an afternoon. A big thanks to Ed and Kay for watching Jack for us.

Jack's Hands

I love watching him figure things out!

The quest for the perfect picture

I have been trying to get a toddler and a newborn to work together and give there mother a perfect photo, so far no luck. I know I am nuts but that will not stop me!

Here we have our ballerina and Kermit!
