Jack's First Haircut

Jack had his first haircut on Saturday. He didn't seem to mind at all and his hair looks great!





After his haircut we met our friends Brian and Alexis for lunch......Jack was looking good with his new hairdo.

On Sunday we went to cousin Brady's 2nd birthday party at Gymboree. Here are the boys in their matching seersucker before the party......


The boys LOVED Gymboree! Will hasn't been in a while so he was super excited to be there......and Jack loved it. I think I'll start taking Jack once Will's preschool starts.

Family Vacation to Colorado!

Last week we flew up to Colorado to stay at my mom and dad's house for a week! We had a great time and the boys had a BLAST! The weather was beautiful, I wish we could have stayed longer!! Here are a bunch of pictures from our super fun trip.


All smiles at the airport!

Will loved having a backyard to play in...
We went to the Denver Aquarium, it was awesome!

One day we went to a fun place called Monkey Business. Both boys had a great time!



Mike flew up to Colorado on Friday, and flew back with us on Saturday night. The boys did really well on the flights, thank goodness.

10 Months

Jack is 10 months old today! How is that possible?? That means only 2 more months till his birthday! Craziness!! Jack is a very sweet, very active 10 month old. He pulls up on everything and crawls all over the apartment. He is such a happy baby, we are very lucky. I love his big blue eyes and fuzzy hair...he is getting his first haircut on Saturday!! Happy 10 months Jack!!!



I took these pics this morning....he's getting so big!

Jack's First Word!

We just got back from a week long vacation at my mom and dad's house in Colorado. We had a WONDERFUL time, but more on that later. I wanted to post a quick video of Jack saying his first "real" word (not just babbling). He started saying "Bye-Bye" while we were in Colorado. It is the cutest thing in the world....and he even claps for himself too! It might be a little hard to hear him, but he says it! I love that sweet boy.

I can't get the video to load, so hopefully the link will work.

3 Year Stats and 9 Month Stats

The boys finally had their check-ups on Monday and they are both 100% healthy and doing great. They have met all their milestones, and their development is right on track. I am so blessed to have happy, healthy boys!



Will's Stats:

weight: 30 lbs. - 25th percentile

height: 37 in - 85th percentile

The dr. said he is long and very lean and looks perfect!

At 3 years Will is still very very active, talks all the time, can play trains for hours, loves Thomas the Train, Super Hero Squad, Cars, and Wow Wow Wubbzy.

He loves to swim, go to the splash park, go to the Chick-fil-a playground and play with Jack.

His favorite show is still Thomas, and I don't think that will change for a while!

His favorite foods are blueberries, nectarines, applesauce and yogurt. That is basically all he eats, he is very very picky.

He has been potty trained for a little over a month or so, and I am so proud of him!

I love you Will!!





Here he is, ready to swim!



Jack's Stats:

weight: 20 lbs. 14 oz. - 50th percentile

height: 28 1/2 in - 60th percentile

Jack is about the same size that Will was at this age. I am guessing they will be pretty similar as far as size is concerned. Jack is a happy, healthy baby!

At 9 months Jack is on the move, pulling up, crawling and into everything. He says (babbles) da-da, ma-ma, ah-da, ba-ba, etc. He is still a great sleeper and takes 2 good naps each day.

He loves Elmo books, toys, etc. He also loves getting into all of Will's matchbox cars and trains.

His favorite food is basically anything I give him. I am still making all his food and he has loved everything so far. He eats 3 meals a day and has 3 bottles a day. He can also drink water from his sippy cup. Jack loves his brother and think he is super cool. :)


I love you Jack!




Here he is, crawling on Abby...
And in other exciting news, Mike went by the new house last night....and the kitchen cabinets are in! I LOVE THEM!!! I am going by the house tonight so I can see them in person.....can't wait!!

New apartment and Saying Bye

We are all moved into the apartment and everyone has adjusted beautifully. I was a little nervous about how Will would react, but he loves his new room and keeps telling me that he "loves the apartment with two pools". Jack seems to like his room too, but he is easy so I wasn't too worried about him. :) Mike and I don't have a room here, but we have a couch and an air mattress, and so far it hasn't been that bad....

The dogs were a little freaked out the first night here, but they are great now. Abby even found a nice little place to sleep at the bottom of the stairs.

We went by the old house last night to get a few last minute things and take a couple pictures before we left for the very last time.

Here is a picture of Jack taking his very last nap in our old house

Will and Jack loved playing in the empty house!
We took some pics of the boys in the front yard for the last time......It was kinda sad and I cried (of course) but our new house will be amazing and the kids will love growing up in it.





Goodbye first house! You were a wonderful house and we will miss you!!

On the move

This cute little guy is on the move and into everything.......trying to climb up the stairs, onto furniture, etc. We had to lower his crib 2 weeks ago because he was pulling himself up!

Please excuse the trash bag behind him....our house is a mess right now....less than 48 hours till we are packing up and heading to the apartment! I can't believe it!!
