Where to even start??.......

I'm not even going to appologize for the 6 week blogging break, instead I'm going to bribe you with cuteness, convinced that these faces will make you forget that you haven't heard from us in an eternity:

Amelia's loves this chick! Alyssa's her "best friend ever, ever, ever!"

Hard to believe how stinkin cute he is right? Don't worry he knows and is completely playing you.

It's not fair that you can be basically a stick figure and eat as much as this girl, but then she's 2 and from the looks of it that alone works up quite the appetite.


hunka hunka burnin love.

Amelia wanted Baby Jack to sleep in her princess bed, so he agreed. pretty nice guy. pretty awesome sister.

The Day Dora Came to Town

As most of you should know, our Miss Amelia is still very much in love with Dora the Explorer! So this past weekend when they had Dora at our Evansville Zoo, I knew she had to go! Of course these things always go better in theory, but it turned out to be a fun day! It was extremely hot and extremely crowded, which I expected, and Amelia was a little freaked out by the hugely unproportioned supposedly 7 year-old superstar, but she got to say hello and even told her "I love you Dora" before we left;)

Dora glasses, bracelets, cup, backpack...check!

Ice cream to bear the heat!

Not too sure....

Happy girl to meet her "best friend" -precious memories!

Sweet Sweet Jack!

It has been 8 weeks since we brought Baby Jack home, and it really does feel like just yesterday! It does not seem possible that he could be two months old already, it really seems like a blur, possibly due to the exhaustion;) He has been such a joy to get to know. So far we know that he really, really likes to eat, and he doesn't like to sleep so much at night. Other than that he's been a snugglebug since birth, which I love! He really hasn't had much of a chance to bond with anyone other than mom just because he eats soooo much, but I know that he will soon and he'll steal their hearts like he has mine! I know that he's stolen quite a few hearts already;)

Here's Baby Jack at one week sweetly sleeping like he did oh-so-often then! He weighed 7-14, which ironically now was under what they wanted;)

Two weeks-so cute & loving his swing! He weighed 8-2 now which is exactly where they wanted him-such a good boy!

Three weeks- doing great, started "grazing" as I call it, wanting to eat ALL the time! Little did I know he was preparing for quite the growth spurt!

Four weeks-still eating all the time LOL! Had to go to his first sick visit because he was coughing and may have caught big sister's cold, but thankfully stayed healthy, and weighed in at a whopping 9-9!

Five weeks-getting chubby:) This week was our last weight check so far and he weighed 10-11, which was a HUGE jump! I can tell you for sure that it was no fluke-this boy likes to eat! Sooo cute! This week I even thought he had reflux because he was so fussy all the time and spitting up, but now I really think he was just growing so fast it was hard to keep him satisfied!

Six weeks-so handsome and sweet, he still loves to eat, but is much less fussy! He's still spitting up but will probably just outgrow it-hopefully soon! He's starting to focus more and stay awake longer, which Amelia loves!

Seven weeks-growing more all the time! Daddy has nicknamed him "Tank" which came from how fast he can drink a bottle-it's truly impressive! I think it's hilarious that he's probably gonna be the smallest boy in his high school class like his Daddy and have the nickname Tank haha!

So that's what Baby Jack has been up to for the past few weeks! He can't wait to meet all of Mommy's family! We are so lucky to be blessed with such precious babies!
