Happy 3 Months Jack!

Yesterday Jack turned 3 months old!  We can't believe how old and big he is getting.  He is growing up more and more every day. 

Jack's smiles and little giggles are becoming more frequent and we love trying to make him laugh! 

This is Jack's new favorite hang-out position!  This has become the alternative to tummy time since he's not fond of it.  He is so close to holding his head up all by himself!

More firsts....

Always a lot of firsts when it comes to having a baby.  We can't believe how many first times have come and gone and how almost everyday brings something new.  Jack is starting to smile a lot more especially when he sees Mommy and Daddy.  He even has let out a giggle or two!  Here are a few pictures of first times that have happened recently:

Jack's first day in the office with Mommy!  I feel so blessed that I have a job which allows me to be flexible and bring him into the office with me on days when we are extremely busy at work and he does not go to day care.  He did a lot better than I had expected and I was able to get more work done than expected!

Here's Jack in the office hanging out with Kip [one of the other designer's puppy].  This was his first time to be around a dog and neither one seemed to be afraid of the other!

 
Last Sunday was Jack's first time in the nursery at church.  He did well!  Sad to say, Mommy still had to check in on him between Sunday School and the worship service, but we're working on letting go!

 
This past Tuesday was Jack's first day at his day care.  It was incredibly hard to leave him and go all day without seeing his sweet face.  Jack did great- he even was able to nap a few times throughout the day.  He also greeted Mommy with a huge smile when it was time to go home!

 
Here's the biggest first time event thus far: BASS PRO!  Of course, Nick was thrilled to show off his favorite store to his new favorite bud.  Nick put Jack up to the fish tank and his eyes would get really big when one of the big fish swam by.  We can't wait to take him to the Aquarium someday and I'm sure Nick can't wait to take our little guy fishing!


 
Sad that so many first times are flying by us, but we are really enjoying watching Jack grow up.  Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your child happy and smiling!  We are so thankful that the Lord has blessed us with such a precious little boy.

Play Time!

Jack is continuing to grow everyday.  We can't believe just how fast!  We have been trying to put him in the Bumbo seat more often so he gets used to holding his head up.  He is so close to holding it up all by himself!


He's a trooper when it comes to spending time on his tummy.  He doesn't seem to enjoy it anymore but he's trying so hard to roll over!


A few weekends ago, Ally came to visit us!  We had a great time visiting with her and she was able to get a lot of Grandma hugs and kisses in while she was here.  We took her to historic Franklin which is an upscale part of Nashville with great shops and restaurants.  We enjoyed a fun lunch with Nick's parents, sister, Aunt Diane [visiting from Houston] & Grandparents [visiting from Ohio]. 

Love that precious smile!
