Holding his head up!

Jack is getting better and better everyday at holding his head up. I try to put him on his stomach a little bit everyday. Most of the time he rolls over as soon as I put him on his tummy. Here are some really cute pictures I took the other day of my big boy holding his head up.

We love our little boy so much! It's so fun to watch him do and learn new things. He looks just like his daddy.

Three Months

Jack turned 3 months old on Tuesday! I can't believe it, he is growing so fast. I can't believe that 3 months ago we were in the hospital having our precious little boy. He has brought so much joy to our lives. We love him more and more each and every day. It's hard to remember how life was without him.

He is changing everyday. He smiles and talks all the time! He loves to lay on is playmat and look at all the animals. He loves his hands. He has recently found his hands and he loves to suck on them. I am not sure how much he weighs now. At his 2 months check up he was 10 and a half pounds, so I'm guessing he's around 11 or 12 pounds now. He has another check up at 4 months so we will find out then.

He is sleeping good. He takes about 3 naps a day and at night we put him to bed around 7:30 or 8 and he doesn't wake up till around 4am and then will go back to sleep until 7 or 8am. He has been eating about 4oz. every three hours but this week we are trying to up it to 5oz. He definitely looks like his daddy :)!

Let's take a look back and see how much he has grown in 3 short months

Jack, you are the light of our lives. You bring so much joy and happiness to us each day! We are very blessed. Love, Mama and Daddy!

Santa!!

We took Jack to see Santa Claus since this is his first Christmas. We went to the Bass Pro Shop because they give you a free photo with Santa. It's really neat because they have this whole Santa's Wonderland set up with all these fun games. It will be a lot of fun to take Jack there in years to come. He might not always be very fond of getting his picture with Santa, but we will do this every year and at least going to the Bass Pro Shop he will have games to play with too.

Last night...

Jack slept in his room in his crib last night for the first time. He has been sleeping in the pack and play in our room since he was born. His room is on the other side of the house from our room so it was nice having him right there in our room. But it was time for him to move to his crib, I had said that before I go back to work I wanted him sleeping in his crib. We have a video monitor so I can see him at anytime. Jack did great and this mama did too!!

What we've been up to...

Sorry I haven't posted lately. I just can't seem to find the time to actually sit down at the computer and type a post. I have a precious little boy I have to take care of and when I do get a little bit of a break, I'm either washing bottles, washing clothes, straightening up or catching up on some sleep.

Since my last post Jack has started rolling over. When I put him down for tummy time, he rolls himself over. He has gotten better at holding his head up too. It's so crazy how fast he is changing. It's something new everyday.  Here is a video we got of him rolling over:

We also went and got Jack's first Christmas tree. He is still too young to know what is going on but this is something we will do each year. It was special to me and Rob since this will be the first Christmas we get to spend with Jack.

Also, Pop came to visit. We always love when Pop comes to visit. I cooked us a yummy lunch and then we played with Jack the rest of the time. Jack loves his Pop and we do too. Jack is so lucky to have such wondeful grandparents!!

It's amazing how fast he is growing. He smiles and laughs and coos at me everyday. The morning time is the best. Once he finishes his bottle and I get him changed, we sit and I talk to him and he will just smile and coo. I LOVE all these precious moments that I have with him.

Jack in one of his Christmas outfits. I had to go ahead and put him in it bc it's a newborn size and he has grown out of it.

My happy baby!
