and now for a little bit of jackman...

granny apple reminded me tonight that most posts have been about lilly jo lately...which is very true. not sure why that is, because there's definitely just as much going on with jack as there is lillypie...he's growing leaps and bounds these days...so without further ado, here is our 5 month old jackman!!!

lilly jo is growing more fond of jackman every day...and is learning to do lots of fun things with jack...like putting her glasses on him. and if you look very closely you'll see they have princesses on them. poor boy. he's in for a lot of girly fun for the next year:)



jack and seth sitting on the recliner for sale at our yard sale last weekend

jack found his feet a few months ago but has recently been going to town on his toes. i'm 99% sure he's been teething for a couple of months but nothing's popping up yet. lj had her first tooth by this time so i won't be shocked to feel a tooth anyday now. but we'll see...

tummy-time is muuuuch more enjoyable these days. he's so strong and enjoys playing with toys or watching lilly jo or wilbur while strengthening all his muscles.

we started oatmeal after his 4 month appt, but stopped for about a week because he wasn't going #2 as often:) but he's doing great now and really loves eating. he gets all jumpy when he sees the bowl and spoon...it's pretty funny. i think he's really going to enjoy other foods once we start them next month!



this was probably taken last month, but he's quite the bouncer in his baby einstein jumper! he's much more active in it than lilly jo was. but he's also got the lilly jo show in front of him so that probably helps his entertainment as well!


jack still gets up an average of once during the night but occasionally twice. (marj and donna, i think of yall often and wonder how you went to work all those days after the sleepless nights!!) this is completely different than lilly jo...that girl was a champ at sleeping at 8wks old. whew, that's been the hardest thing so far i think. but now that he's eating oatmeal and getting older and gaining more and more weight i think we're starting to turn the corner on his sleep habits...we'll see:)
he's still mr. social and loves to be held, loves to be outside, loves to watch lilly jo, loves to laugh...


he's such a blessing and a joy and even in the hard times God is teaching me that he's still a gift:)
