Jack Says Mama!

Jack just started to say mama! I know he is just discovering different sounds and it is a normal developmental stage to say mama and dada without knowing what he is saying, but it is seriously the cutest thing and it melts my heart. Brandon was

Our House Search Update

We've been asked a lot lately how the house hunting is coming. So I thought I would post about it and let everyone know!  It makes us happy when people ask how things are going.  We're very

The Torture of Weening From Swaddling

Jack's an amazing sleeper and always has been. We've been pretty spoiled. He started sleeping 8 hours straight in the night when he was 7 weeks old.  Then he started sleeping 10-12 hours around

Our Little Roly Poly

Ok Jack is a super skinny baby. He maybe has a total of 4 rolls on his entire body and they're more like skin rolls than fat rolls. So the title of this post isn't referring to him looking like a roly poly, but instead acting like one! Jack learned

Truth or Photoshop.

You know those infomercials on TV for a workout video that GUARANTEES you will lose half your body weight or some insane amount like that? And they have before and after photos of people who have used

Jack's SECOND Haircut!

I had to cut Jack's hair AGAIN! He is now 4 1/2 months old, and it has only been 6 weeks since I cut it the first time.  But it only grows on the very top of his head! The rest of his head is balding.

Rejection

Well, it's happened. Our first home heartbreak. We got the email this morning informing us that the bank decided to go with another offer. The house we fell in love with just days ago slipped through

Brandon's first, but definitely not last. (Fingers crossed.)

There is nothing more that my wife would like me to participate in than writing on the blog. I didn't feel like I had anything interesting to say besides, "things are good" and "work is busy." I started thinking about it though; it doesn't matter if

Jack's First Hair Cut

Jack has grown pretty quickly over the past 3 months. And so has his hair.  It has always been an attention getter and the topic of all conversations when he is around. In fact, I sometimes count

Do you see a difference?

So I originally posted this and then realized that the photo doesn't really show that much of a difference. In person, this onesie is being pulled so much it is showing his cleavage! So, do you see

Mother's Day and Father's Day
