Meet Jack :)

Our precious little squish came into the world Sunday morning at 8:45. 

I woke up at 4:30 that morning w/ light contractions, so just like w/ my other two kiddos, labor was hard and fast.

Jack weighed 7 lb. 7 oz, and was 19 in. long.

Of course we are in love.

throwback

i've been doing some photo editing…

i'm about 9 months behind on my kiddos albums, but hopefully that will change this winter :)

blogging hasn't really been a priority lately, but for you family and friends who rarely get to see us or our kiddos…this is for you :)

a few pics from this past spring a summer…enjoy!

Asher turns one!!!!

Yesterday our littlest turned one!

Brighton has been so excited about his birthday…she could hardly wait to give him his present so that she could play w/ it ;) lol

after present time we had birthday waffles :)

i have a hard time believing how much this little guy will eat!

he ate 1/2 a belgian waffle and a whole banana for his birthday breakfast

he usually eats just as much as Brighton does

after naps, i tried to take a picture of our 2 munchkins together…

that didn't go so well :/

that evening we celebrated his birthday w/ some cake :)

i was hoping he would dig into it, but he wouldn't touch it

so it's currently sitting on my counter…i think we'll have some kiddos over for a tea party on Friday and let them dig into it :)

after some failed attempts at taking some smash cake pictures we came inside to eat cupcakes

Brighton was pretty excited about blowing out the candle

although he wouldn't touch the owl, he did dig into a cupcake :)

since we failed at smash cake pictures yesterday and the cake was still intact, today i decided to give it another shot…failed again

but he did eat a few jelly beans :)

we love this little guy!

he is a mama's boy through and through

he has no interest in learning to communicate except through screaming

the only word he seems to really know is "uh-oh"

he refuses to take a step…he will even stand up by himself in the middle of a room, but then sit back down and crawl

he is super ticklish and his giggles are the best

he is an awesome sleeper! (7:00-7:00)

he's addicted to his soother and swaddle…doesn't fall asleep w/out either

he takes 2 naps a day for a total of around 3 hrs.

he loves playing peek-a-boo

he eats pretty much everything and has a definite sweet-tooth

happy bday sweet boy!

you are a gem and you are so so loved :)
