I get it from my Uncle!

Don't ever question Jack's strange finger sucking habit.

Our Thoughts and Prayers

Aunt Jen and Uncle James are in our thoughts and prayers, today, as they attended her grandmother's funeral. They drove to Michigan, yesterday, and have to return home tonight.

We love you both and are looking forward to your move to Georgia, in June. Good luck with selling your house, finding a place to live, and moving 6 pets, in 3 months. And, congrats on finishing Vet School and good luck with your advanced training!

Nine Month Doc Visit

Jack had his 9 month check-up this morning (2 weeks late). The doctor said that he looked great. He weighed 19 lbs and was 29 1/2 inches long. That put him in the 25th percentile in weight and 80th percentile in height. He received 2 more vaccines and some blood drawn to check for anemia. Of course he cried when they stabbed him with the needles, but didn't make a sound when they pricked his finger.

In case you didn't know, Jack has been waking up in the middle of the night. It has been every night for the last week, but started a few weeks ago. We rock him, give him a bottle, and he goes back to sleep. As it turns out, he has been pulling a fast one over on us. The doctor said that Jack knows exactly what he is doing. It's not even that he is trying to get an extra bottle, he just wants to see his mommy and daddy. In other words, he is experiencing a little separation anxiety. So, wish us luck tonight, as we begin to phase this habit out. (My mom said that it sounds like he is lonely and she'd be more than happy to come hold him all night long. =)

Jack still does not have any teeth. The doctor said his gums were swollen and he expects a bunch to burst through soon.

After the doc visit, Jason insisted I go get the Super Playyard that I've been eying. He said that I'd go crazy this week, if I didn't have a way keep Jack from crawling all over the place.

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. It was a beautiful day, but a little bit chilly. I always remember growing up and attending the sunrise service at our Church. It was usually around 6:45am and outside. It was always cold!

Jack had been up for 3 hours, when we headed to church. He slept the entire service in Jason's arms. It was the contemporary service and the music was really loud, but he didn't stir. Then,we went out to lunch. After lunch, Jeff and Mandy stopped by to visit.

His Easter outfit was a gift from LeeLee





Can you tell he was sleepy, before we left?



One last bottle to last us through church.




He tried to eat mom and dad's Easter candy.



We put Jack's golf outfit on for Jeff to see

Spring Break 2008!

When you are a teacher, Spring Break doesn't stop after graduating from college. Jack and I went with 4 other teachers to the Beach for Spring Break. It was a nice trip. Of course, we stayed at the Lee's Beach House. I feel so fortunate that they allow me to take my friends down there. I use the Beach House at least twice as often as Jason.

On Wednesday night, Jason's mother came to spend the night, so we could go out and so that I could spend some time on the beach. It rained our first couple of days, but Thursday was beautiful. Jack had a good time with the girls. They all love children and were great at keeping Jack entertained.

Was there every any doubt?

Jack is the absolute spitting image of his daddy. The picture below makes me laugh because 2 or 3 times a week Jason comes home from basketball in his orange, Auburn shorts.
