Mother's Day--part 1

On Sunday we went to my parent's house for Mother's Day! We had a nice day--even though the weather could have been a little warmer!

A family picture--as usual!

And our small, happy family!

Jack winking!

And smiling!

He loves my dad and his voice.
I am slightly jealous that I don't even get that big a smile from Jack!

Webster and Jackson love Jack as well! They are very protecctive of him!

This is the closest that Webster has got to Jack! He is jealous that Jack gets to sit on my dad's lap--that is his spot!

My parents laying with Jack while he did Tummy Time! He was pretty tired and didn't really lift his head very much!

Jackson wanted to join in as well!

One more picture before we left to come back home!

Jenna and Mackenzie!

Last weekend Jack had visits from Jenna and Mackenzie! Jenna came over after her concert and Mackenzie arrived to meet Jack on Friday afternoon! We had a great time--Jack got lots of love and in return he peed and pooped on the ladies!

Jenna and Jack! This is already outfit #2.

Jenna and Jack again after the outfit change from the accident!

Jack and Mackenzie! He was pretty happy!

Close-up!

He looks so big laying with Mackenzie! Kisses for Jack!

Brookfield Zoo!

Last week Jack and I went to the zoo with Jackie, Alex, and Cindy! It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time! We went to the see the new bear exhibit--it was wonderful! I highly recommend it!

One of the grizzly bears in the new exhibit!

Who is taller--Alex or the polar bear?

Grandma Cindy and her boys!

Jackie painted Alex's face! He was a scary tiger!

Then Alex did some painting....

And watered the plants!

Alex and I enjoyed watching the real tiger.

Finally, Alex and I rode the carousel! We had a great time!

love this picture!

And Alex showed off his photography skills by taking a picture of his mom and Jack!

7 Weeks!

Here are Jack's 7 Week pictures! Neck still isn't great, but more smiles. Little did we know that his neck would make great progress over the next week!

And obviously moving much more since the paper won't stay in one place!

Bathroom Remodel - The finished product!

Our bathroom was 99% finished this morning and is fully functional! It has been a long process but we are very happy with the results (well I am, Rick isn't home from work to see it yet)!

The faucets have been installed and we hung our towels!

Running water!

The other side! These new towels were a Christmas/Hannukah present from my mom and dad! So glad to finally be able to use them!

Fully equipped with shelves for storage!!

And a toilet paper holder!

The only thing that is not done is the plate to go behind the knob for the shower. The shower does work we just need to get the new piece of hardware.

Sleeping and Smiling!

Yesterday we went to Jenna's softball game and then to dinner. This must have made Jack very tired. When we got home had a bath (seemed to enjoy it) and after being wrapped in a towel fell asleep immediately!

We layed him down on his changing table for a diaper and new clothes and he didn't budge! He was very asleep!

And then we tried his bumbo and he didn't wake up for that either!

But this morning he is very wide awake....

and very happy!

Then we got dressed and he was just as happy!

Then some tummy time...this didn't make him as happy!
