Cutest Baby

I just have to say, Jack is the cutest baby. He has developed the sweetest little personality. He is VERY chatty, I guess he got that from me :) and Saturday he started holding his toys, very exciting stuff! Hot topic with Jack right now is what color his hair is and will be. I guess you could call it strawberry blonde. His puff and mullet are darkest and his new hair on the top, yes he is starting to look like Mr T, is a strawberry blonde for sure. The puff is starting to get really long and won't be a puff for much longer...and...at the roots of the puff the hair is white...go figure. So your guess is as good as mine, but I think we might have a ginger on our hands :)


Check out the puff in this picture...priceless
also, you can see how blue his eyes have gotten!


So excited for Santa to come!!

Go Hoos!!

UVA has had a rough football year, as usual, but Jack is still a fan. How cute is he in this onesie from Uncle Cliff?

Oh No!

Two new problems:

1) Jack has been escaping more and more out of his swaddle...


2) I think we have a thumb sucker on our hands...at night and nap time he is swaddled but he LOVES to chew his hands and I caught him with BOTH thumbs in his mouth the other day...hmmmm like mother like son

Yay for Christmas and Christmas Trees!!

Sunday we headed out to get our first Christmas tree! I am very proud about how it turned out!! This year is our first Christmas in our house with the baby. So excited!

What Happens When You Leave the Men Alone....

John graciously babysat last night so I could go to Anne Marie's babyshower (I am slowly learning you aren't supposed to take your baby to everyone elses parties) and this is how I found them when I got home:

Lying on the floor watching "Die Hard"

I love how focused Jack is...he LOVES TV...a couch potato in the making!

Tessa's Photos

Tessa Duquette came over last week and took pictures of the little man. I think they turned out great! I can't wait to have her over again to take more photos!

my sweet little feet


I am yet to capture this kind of smile, LOVE it!!




Phew, that was exhausting!

Our Second Date

Wow, I am so lucky. I have the prettiest girlfriend! My girlfriend, Alice Tafel, came to Virginia Beach to visit with her Lolly. While she was in town we got to have our second date. On our first date I was very intimidated by her because she seemed so much bigger than me. Now we are practically the same size, I am growing so fast!!

Isn't she pretty?

2 Months Old!!

It's hard to believe Jack is already 2 months old!! I am getting along pretty well and loving Jack more than anything. Today he had is 2 month check up with Dr. Snyders. He thinks he is starting to look a lot like his uncle cliff...although he did say that Cliff had a MUCH larger head, figures. Jack now weighs 11 lbs, 6 oz! He is getting so big!! No big news. He has reflux but since he is such a happy baby the doctor doesn't want to put him on medication, lucky me, just more puke to wear! He wants us to send Jack back to CHKD to have his kidney's ultrasounded again, so I am going to try to do this in December. He seems to have survived his shots without much problem. Although, he has been sleeping since we got home so I am about to wake him up to feed him. Enjoy some new pictures :)
Aren't I cute?
I love my Daddy

Caught in the Act

Jack is just starting to smile, and he is so cute. Here is a picture of him with a little grin.

Halloween 2009

For Halloween we dressed Jack up as a puppy...precious! And we went trick or treating with his cousins, Princess Cooper and Vaughanie the Dragon.

This costume is really hot mom!

Aren't I cute?


Here comes trouble!


JB and JB2

A few weeks ago I took Jack to visit his good friend JB (John Bear Stone). Since Jack is also a John, we call him JB2. Here is a cute picture from their first official playdate. Unfortunately for JB2, he had messed up his first outfit of the day and thus was stuck in a gender confused outfit...survey, is this a onesie for a girl or a boy? It has 2 elephants in a floral pattern. I thought it was gender neutral but am having second thoughts. I am so NOT cut out for dressing a little boy. Poor Jack!!

Stupid Camera

I am very sad. I was uploading my pictures from the last 2 weeks....a good 130+ of them and something happened and the upload was canceled. It messed up my card and I lost all but a few photos. Sucks. Jack is really cute and I'm sorry I lost those pictures. I guess I will just have to step it up to make up for the missing photos :) Here are some that were recovered.





Blurry but still cute

I am a little cranky here but you can see how big my cheeks are getting. Does anyone think I am starting to look like my uncles?
