Well thanks to my mom, Zach, and Sophia we finally put the tree up at our house and my mom’s house. I am starting to feel like Christmas is here! I can’t believe it will be here in 19 days, let alone that in 10 days my little girl will be 3!!!

Jack at one month you:
-are eating every 3 hours during the day, 5 hours at night
-sleep from 11-4 at night (well most nights)
-wear size 1 diapers, 0-3 month clothes, but you are close to needing 3-6 month clothes because you are so long
-love your pacifier, you would be a thumb sucker by now if we let you
-are a noisy baby… you are always making little noises and sounds, whether you are awake or asleep
-love being swaddled in your swaddle blanket
-love being held tight and rocked
-are starting to loose your hair… hopefully you don’t loose it all
-have eyes that are a still a gray-blue color… I am hoping that you will get my eye color
-have great head control already, you can move it from side to side
-hate having a wet or dirty diaper, you definitely let us know when you need to be changed, and you almost always have a dirty diaper, which is very different from your sister
Most of all we, Mommy, Daddy, and big sister, Sophia, are loving every minute of you being in our lives. Its hard to believe that a month ago you were still not here yet, and now I can’t imagine you not being part of our family. We are truly blessed to have you as our son. We love you more than the world is round. Bunches. XOXO
Well we loaded up the car on the Friday before Thanksgiving, it was the fullest it has ever been, with two kids, a mommy, a daddy, and a large puppy dog… and everything that each one of those people need. I wish I would have gotten a picture. Once we were loaded up, we raced to the lake, since I would have to nurse Jack as soon as we arrived at the lake.
We had a nice relaxing weekend with my parents at the lake before the craziness began on Sunday night. That’s when the family started to arrive and Zach went back to town to work for two days. I stayed at the lake with my parents and the kids. We had a great week at the lake with lots and lots of family. Here are some photos from the week.

Today was our first big outing. I had my doctor appt for my 2 week check up and my mom had an eye doctor appt. She has been able to take off some time to come and help me while Daddy had to go back to work. We got the kids ready and headed to my doctor appt. My mom stayed in the car, while the kids napped. Once my appt was over I hustled down to the car, pumped while my mom drove to her appt, then we got the kids out and headed in to her appt. Sophia and I gave Jack his first bottle.
The next day, Daddy and Sophia gave Jack another bottle. Sophia just loved being able to help feed her baby brother.
First sponge bath at home… not a super fan.
