Time to catch up....

So, you're probably wondering why we don't update this blog everyday, right? Well, as you fellow bloggers know it's not that easy to come up with creative stories on a daily basis. Seriously, if you've heard one poopy diaper story you've heard them all. With that said, here's a Jack update.

First, Jack went one full week of sleeping through the night(roughly 8:30pm-6:30am) this past week! Only one word can describe this occasion, "Hallelujah!" Don't get us wrong...it's great to hang out with Jack at 3:30am in the morning for 30-45 minutes, but we prefer seeing his smiling face at 6:30am more. We're not sure if this is just a phase or something we should look forward to, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Second, the smiles, giggles, and coos have arrived. Mommy gets them more than Daddy, but it's a regular occurrence by the little guy!

Third, Jack's really picked up the pace on his eating. Somehow his little tummy has gone from holding 4 oz. every so often to 5+ oz. within just a few days. If you're somewhat good at math you should be able to add this up. More food + small body = big poopy diapers.

Fourth, Jack made his first trip to the pool. What does this trip entail? Little swimmer diapers, one big floppy hat, one baby surf shirt, swim trunks, a rubber swim diaper, and just a dab of sunblock on the exposed extremities. Jack wasn't quite sure if he liked it, but he wasn't strongly opposed to the idea either. Like everything with a new baby, it's a growing process.

Finally, Jack helped ring in Daddy's 30th birthday by wearing his Pearl Jam onesie that Uncle Brantley gave him and sporting a mohawk (Daddy's idea). Although he can't partake in the adult beverages, he put back a few milks. He also had a dance party with his neighbor, Elliot! They make quite the infant couple.

Up Next......day care in August! Stay tuned!
