First Bite!!

Jack has been very interested in our food lately-watching us eat, reaching for our food-so as we let the pizza stone heat up for homemade pizza night, we thought we'd let Jack try some 'real' food for dinner! I've heard from other moms that the rice ceral can be pretty yucky so to put some sort of fruit in it. I found Rice Cereal with Mixed Fruit, so that's what we tried.

He surveyed the set up and saw three things-1. his bowl of food, 2. his mamma with the camera**, and 3. his daddy. What could be bad about this, right? First bite--let's see...
"Ugh! Seriously! This is what you guys eat all the time?!?!" I wanted to take a turn trying to feed him, too. "No, mamma! No more!"
   So at 20 weeks and 1 day, about a week shy of five months, we tried real food for the first time. Obviously it wasn't a hit, so we'll try again some other time!!

**I'm still trying to figure out the best lighting to use indoors with a little squirmy worm, so unfortunetly these pictures aren't as clear as I would've liked them to be. If anyone has any suggestions about that, please let me know!

A Rolling Boy and the First Bath Toy!

This baby boy had a great time playing with his feet and showing us his new rolling style! He now rolls from back to belly and belly to back, and it's too fun to watch!! He usually always starts by rolling to his side an playing with his feet. Then he gets really excited and kicks his legs and rolls himself on to his tummy-love it!! 

He's still loving his baths, and while we were at Target the other night, we bought his first bath toy--a little turtle! I think his biggest concern was how he could get his hand AND the turtle in his mouth at the same time! And yes, I did the little bath mohawk! Don't all moms of boys do that at some point?! Have a great weekend-Jack is very serious about that! :)

Happy Birthday, Emory!

We hope you're having a GREAT birthday down at the beach full of cake and ice cream and lots of hugs and kisses! We can't wait to celebrate with you on Sunday!

(I LOVE this picture! I borrowed it from Amy's post!)

Love,
Mark, Michelle, and Jack

Our Little Monkey!!

Happy

Right now, in his four month old world, a hand in his mouth and playing with his daddy after work make Jack pretty happy!! Seeing them together makes me happy too!

Happy Fourth of July!!

And a special THANK YOU!! to all who have served, are serving, or will serve our great country in the armed forces--especially Uncle Adam and Uncle Ryan!

Love,
Jack

Play Time!

After lunch, a bath, and a nap, Jack and I had some play time--him with his feet and me with my camera! I'm trying to play more with lighting and the white balance control, but I'm not quite sure I understand it yet. I'm having fun learning though! This boy is really becoming quite the ham, and his momma is loving it! Yep, the drool faucet has started!! I guess the little teeth will be making their debut sometime soon!
