6 week update

I can't believe it but little Jack turned 6 weeks old this Wednesday. He has grown and changed so much. He's about the same length, just a little chunkier with fat roles forming on his arms and legs.
Finally we are sleeping longer during the night which I am so happy about, he slept for five and a half hours straight which was amazing for me. I couldn't believe it when he finally woke me up at 3:00 am. I have never been that happy to be woken up in the middle of the night.
He is making more gurgly noises every day. He is very talkative and loves to stare at bright things around him.
I can finally make him smile! It's so great to know that he knows who his mommy is. We found out that he has the cutest smile when he would smile for gas and now we get to see it because he knows it's us.
On his one month birthday we had him take a bath in his bath tub. He absolutely loved it and sat there very content. He didn't cry at all and let the water run over his face with no fuss.
This Sunday he took his first road trip to L.A. for a baby shower for his soon to be 4th cousin. He slept most of the way there and wasn't put down the entire time we were there. Family is constantly fighting over who is going to hold him next. We have a couple of baby hogs in the family!
I have started to go on long walks with him now that I've gotten the ok from the Dr. I think I enjoy them more then he does. We've gone to Mission Bay and the lake a couple of times. If he sleeps we're able to have a nice walk otherwise we are holding him and pushing the stroller which looks a little funny.
This 4th of July will be little Jacks first time on a boat. We will be going out to have a BBQ and watch the fire works. We just hope it doesn't scare him to death and mom doesn't get sea sick. We love our little man and can't wait to see what he does next!

Baby Jack is 4 weeks!

Sorry I have been so bad about keeping you all updated with pictures. Now that I am able to drive we have been out and about shopping and visiting friends.
Baby Jack is doing great and keeps growing. He is gaining weight and growing longer. We had a quick Dr. appt last week and he is up to 8 lbs. He gained 9 oz. in a week, which is really good and explains the hours and hours of feeding. He is much more alert and is spending more time awake during the day which has been fun. We had a great Father's Day, we spent it with the whole family. Jack will be one month this weekend so we will be taking more pictures and posting soon.
The pictures are of Big Jacks 28th Birthday dinner, Baby Jack and all the men in the family, a funny face of Baby Jacks 1st break out and him getting mad at me for taking so many pictures, and us watching the basketball finals together.
Love yah,
Moni, Jack and Baby Jack

Baby Jack's 1 week update

Baby Jack is doing great and already has the family wrapped around his finger. At his last Dr. appt everything looked good and he's gaining weight.
Our life has been consumed with feedings, rocking, changing of diapers and clothes, and a lot of laundry. Good thing our little man has a lot of clothes b/c we are going through outfits by the hour at times.
Kona is doing great adjusting to the new family member. At first she barked every time he cried. I was a little worried at first. Now she gives him kisses on the feet and lays by him when he's in the swing.
Baby Jack smiles in his sleep and we're waiting for the day he smiles at us when he's awake.
Here is a picture of him after his first bath at home wrapped in his froggy towel. This little guy does not like to be naked.
Until next weeks update!
