July Happenings

Well, it's been a while since we've updated. We've been busy settling into our new house, keeping up with work, and (most importantly) taking care of Jack. First, here are some pictures in distinctive outfits from special people.


The cow onesie is from cousin Hannah in Michigan, the light green onesie is from Uncle Kojo in Michigan, and the Red Sox onesie is from Great Aunt Gretchen in Cape Cod.



Jack's been having a lot of fun in his "excer-saucer" the past few weeks. He likes to stand, bounce, lean back, and grab his toys. He makes lots of noise when he's playing in this.
Jack's getting more and more interactive. He's been doing a lot smiling like he is here.

Jack must have been having some fun dreams when Betsy took the first of his four month-old pictures.
You can see he was pretty tired for this one, too.

Last night we took Jack to his first Major League Baseball game!! Unfortunately, it did not involve either the Dodgers (Mommy's favorite team) or the Tigers (Daddy's favorite team). We did have a lot of fun, though. Jack loved the game through about 4 1/2 innings. After that, the new sights, sounds and smells weren't so interesting anymore. Mommy ended up doing a lot of walking those last few innings.

We went to the game with our good friends. Here's their little boy, Wesley, with Jack. Isn't Jack too young to be experiencing male pattern baldness?

Jack had his four month doctor's appointment on Wednesday. He now weighs 13 lbs. 8 oz. He has gained a full ten pounds since his lowest weight of 3 lbs. 7 oz. in the NICU. It has been incredible watching this little boy grow. Our days are filled with the joys, frustrations, and laughs common to new parents. We continually thank God for this privilege.

Somebody Pinch Me

We can hardly believe it... as of today, 7/7/09, we are homeowners! It's been quite the journey, plodding along for months, then fastforwarding to the end... but we are so grateful. Responsibility... here we come.
