Jack's first hotel stay with Nana

This is mostly what I saw of Jack during our weeeknd visit for Leslie's wedding. The other times he was all smiles and giggles!

almost three months old!

It is hard to believe baby Jack is turning three months old at the end of the week! Time is going by so fast. Here are a few photos before the weekend as Jack will be taking his first plane ride on a trip with me to Tennessee. A good friend of mine from high school, Leslie, is getting hitched to Andy. Jack is very excited to see his Nana and adopted aunts there.

Apparently drooling runs in the family as Hudson was a huge drooler and Jack has now started

. Jack is holding that head up well and enjoying tummy time.

He is becoming very chatty lately too.

Rolls, rolls and more rolls. I don't even know what to do with all of them.They are showing up in places I didn't even know could get a roll. I do know that they do collect things if they don't get cleaned well and that we must tilt is head very far back in the tub to even reach one of the many necks that he has. His rolls are very ticklish though and give us some fun giggles.

The boys dressed in their KU attire for the KU/K State game this last weekend. Jack loves his big brother and smiles each time he sees him. Hudson loves his "lil' buddy" as he calls him just as much.

Jack just loves bath time and lays back and kicks and splashes and loves every minute of it.

Jack's first playdate

Somehow Jack at 15 lbs did not break the doll stoller...
Jack had his first playdate this week with some good friends that I used to work with and their little ones. All of the babies were born within one month of each other. Jolie is 12 weeks and twins Alex and Zach are 8 weeks.

Here Jack is showing off his extra pounds....

Another time, mommy!!!!

Jack turned 11 weeks old this week and continues to be a happy, laid back little guy. He is only getting up at 3am to eat these days so we are all feeling more rested. He smiles, giggles and kicks in excitement. It is fun seeing his little personality come out.

This week Hudson's favorite phrase has been "another time, mommy!" so that is what I have heard a gazillion times this week. He is certainly turning three soon! He continues to crack us up and give us a story to tell each day. After making brownies, which really turned into eating brownie mix, his hands were covered in mix, so I asked him to go wash he hands. Well he goes over and tells Tanner to lick it, which she does, then tells me that they are all clean. Well I guess they were more clean than they were?? He is doing great though and learning numbers and letters well. He can find an "H" anywhere and loves to point them out. He can spell his name and we are working on writing it. He also is now a pro at the laptop which I am not sure if I should be so proud of! When I get busy with Jack, Hudson loves to watch small clips on youtube or play with the disneywebsite. He is quite the little web surfer and so far hasn't bought anything.....yet!

Jack is 10 weeks old!

We have been hanging pretty low this week at home as Jack came down with a bad cough and some congestion. We took him to the doctor on Tuesday and they diagnosed him with Bronchiolitis and he also tested positive for the nasty RSV. We feel pretty lucky though that Jack didn't get a fever with it and has been breathing ok so we avoided a hospital stay. We are also thankful that Hudson didn't catch it. He is still coughing but we are hoping we are on the upswing! Jack still likes tummy time and is doing a bit better at holding his head up. He also likes his Bumbo seat so he can see what is going on around him!
Hudson loves to care for his baby doll who also has the name Jack. Things go great till he uses his stroller as an item to chase the dog with.

Here is Hudson's new "ducky" shirt that has become the new favorite so it has already been washed several times this week.

The boys' love being bathed in the same tub. Jack is so big in his little tub that he was splashing our carpet in our master bathroom. Yes, we still have carpet in there but hopefully for not too much longer!

2 months old and snowed in!

It has been a cold and snowy week here in Kansas City this week. You won't find many pictures of Hudson playing in the snow though because he hates it just as his mom does. Hudson went out with John to help shovel one night but other than that, doesn't want anything to do with it. He "watches" us play in it from the window and pulls his pant legs up when he walks in it to make sure he doesn't get snow on his jeans. He is a funny little guy. We bought him a new Buzz and Woody cup that we thought he would be thrilled with. Well he does love to play with it but refuses to put any liquid in it so it doesn't get dirty! Trying to stay warm in the bunting Nana made. The high is only zero today - brrr......

Sleepy baby after his shots

Jack had his two month check up this week and was a whopping 14 lbs and 8 oz (97th percentile) and was 23 3/4 inches long (80th percentile). Holy cow he weighs more than a pound more than his brother did at this age! He still is one big and happy little guy though so we won't complain. He hardly fusses, smiles and coos often and has let out a couple big giggles too.



We did get a special visit from Aunt Sam after New Years and Hudson has not stopped talking about her since she left to go back to Mizzou. "Where Aunt Sam are?" , "Aunt Sam come tomorrow?", "Hudson play trains with Aunt Sam.....okaaaaay?"

We took Aunt Sam to Fritz's restaurant to see the train. He was most excited about the "diet coke" train and proceeded to ask the waitress for one as if he thought we might actually let him order one!

buddies....

Happy New Year! Jack is 8 weeks old

the poor puppy that gets no attention anymore....

Jack is still a happy little guy who loves to smile and is starting to giggle a bit. He is growing so quick but continues to be a really easy going baby. He is still getting up a few times during the night to eat, but goes right back to sleep.
