Jack's 1st visit to PA!!
Thursday, June 18, 2009
Jack is 6 months old!!
Jack had his 6 month check up today. He weighed in at 15 lbs and measured the same length...yah, someone mis-measured last time:( Darn it, we thought he may get that surprise height gene! His head, of course grew also - 17 1/8 inches. We have got to stop telling him how cute he is...poor guy doesn't have a chance. He has already out grown 3 of his hats! Doc said he is lookin good. Jack was pretty busy talking and smiling at the nurse and doctor - so much that he did not realize what came next...shots. He definitely cried more today - all the way down the hall until we got into another room where I could nurse him. Then he passed out while I shopped for some little people food for him. I just finished cooking up his first batch of sweet potatoes and carrots. Who would have thought that 2 big sweet potatoes would make so much baby food - it filled the blender. Lots to freeze and store! We'll mix the potatoes with his cereal for the next 4 days then we'll try the carrots out. He loves to eat off a spoon. The only problem is is that you can spoon fast enough - he's huffin to let you know he wants more and more fast. Too bad his weight doesn't show how much he eats and how much he likes to eat. He is a little below average but I have a feeling that as soon as we start food he'll start to get some meat on his bones:)
At home, Jack is loving his bouncy seat, jumper and little walking chair (for lack of a better name). He is sitting up...well for a little while until he crashes when he's reaching for something that he usually ends up pushing farther away - poor guy! He has done the "army" crawl in his crib a few times but I can't seem to get him to do it on the floor? there is something about getting to one of those corners in his crib to sleep. Suppose it's cozier! I should rap it up - he is just so much fun at this stage - I could keep writing, writing and writing... We'll check in again soon!
P.S We celebrated Jack's half birthday yesterday with ice cream and french fries. Too bad the birthday boy passed out in the middle of the celebration:(

Great weekend!
I don't have any other pictures to post but tought this was worthy of a solo posting - so darn cute. We took this picture a couple weeks back and just realized that I had not posted it. Gregg and I think that he has grown another inch or two since then...he is eating and sleeping like a champ. I think it is another one of those growth spurts that they write about. Fortunately Jack is embracing it rather gracefully which is so nice for his mom & dad:) He is laughing and smiling all the time. We call him a "nosy-bear" because he doesnt miss a beat, always watching us and especially Buddy & Nelly. He really likes the dogs. Now that he is reaching for things, he tries to "pet" them which turns into a handful of hair;( gotta work on the petting skills! Jack has his 6 month doc appointment on Thurs so we'll get the official weigh in then but for now our scale has the big boy weighing in at about 16 pounds. It is hard to see the weight gain because he's also growing so much in length - no clue where that has come from but we hope he keeps it and doesn't go the route Gregg went which was from the center on the team to the point guard:)
I will post more after Jack's appt. on Thurs - we've got some good pics from this weekend which was really nice. Perfect weather for another Sunday night of golf and swim at the pool - Jack is quite the trooper! Post soon...

Jack's big day!



They didn't let me swim after all. Father Pat just washed my hair again...Grandma gave me a bath the night before? I did good though. I didn't cry - in fact I was smiling at everyone else smiling at me:) The water actually felt pretty good - I got kinda warm in my pretty outfit... Father and I kinda matched!

I love this stage!!
Jack's first of many dips in the pool. He's anxiously awaiting the outdoor pool to open so that his goose bumps will go away. Poor guy's bottom lip started to tremble. I couldn't figure out if he was cursing us under his breath, scared or cold? I think he was talking under his breath:) He passed out in his carseat on the way to the pool so we swam laps until he woke up...suppose that wasn't the wake up call that he was looking for.
