Never a Dull Moment
My Jack......
he is full of life and such a happy child! He loves to sing and dance and be the life of the party. He is stubborn and strong willed like me and laid back and looks just like his daddy. He's quirky and loves his Gigi, Pop and Aunt Emmy almost as much as Henry, but I think Henry takes the cake for now! He loves that baby and loves to aggravate that baby! HA! He loves pizza and Chick-fil-a Elliott, Reed, and Emily Kathryn are his favorite friends and at school Abigail and Jay are pretty special too! He LOVES school and is always so proud of whatever they did that day. Dr.Pepper can fix any problem and so can a good movie (this week its Wall-E)
He says mommy 900 times a day and sometimes it drives me just a tad crazy. He has learned how to buckle himself in his car seat (on most days) and thinks that if we leave the house for any reason we must always stop at Chick-fil-a and daddy's office. He amazes me everyday with how much he knows and the things he says. He's all boy even in a smocked jon-jon with all those bruises and bumps to prove it.
He thinks being outside is the greatest place on earth and told us this weekend that he is going to ask Santa to go to Disney World (good thing Santa was already planning) He wants to go anywhere and everywhere all the time.
His favorite play date involves Pop and the Bass Pro-Shop and of course Chick-fil-a!
He hates milk and loves orange juice. He loves sweets of any kind, fruit and peanut butter and jelly sandwich with honey! he could live off pickles and Dr. pepper I am sure!
He hasn't made me feel as helpless as he did last night since his quick stay in the NICU when he was born. We try our best to protect him, but we can not always do that! He decided last night to touch John's grill while it was hot! His little hand is red and blistered and he screamed and cried for about 2 hours! (this child never cries over boo-boos...EVER!) He wouldn't let us look at it and bounced around on the floor, on the bed, in my arms, in J's arms all night. We tried a cold rag, the bathtub, a cold Dr. Pepper can, movies, candy, anything we could think of to take his mind off of it! He just wanted to go to bed! I put him bed and laid with him for awhile, he would try to get comfortable, but begin screaming every 5 mins. He finally said you go mommy and shut door. So I did. It broke my heart that he was in pain, so I sat outside his bedroom door until he got very quiet. I quietly peeked in and finally he was out! YEA!!! I checked his hand before I went to bed and prayed he would sleep all night!
He is better this morning, but still does not want to use that hand much. Its better to just leave it uncovered and alone, so we have done that. Its not as bad this morning and the blisters don't look as big. Dr. Pepper and some waffles helped and he opted to skip school!
He's full of life and there is NEVER a dull moment with that kid!

Boys and Anna
I have someone helping me with Tootlebugs now and with the boys! WE LOVE HER!!! Anna has been coming for about 3 weeks now and I always look forward to having her here each week. She graduates from UAB in May and we are so hoping she decides to get her masters so we can keep her around! I have been able to do more "fun" things with the boys and stay caught up on Tootlebugs...which never happens!
She was here yesterday and played with the boys while I was sewing. (she can sew too!) She even snapped all these cute pictures while they were playing...you see why I love her??

Bath Time!
Now that Henry is sitting up well it is so much easier to give them a bath together and I hate baby bath tubs...hate them! And as you can see Henry is not scared of the water at all, of course when you have someone dumping cup fulls right on top of your head...you really can't be!
And since H is sitting up Jack loves to play with him more, so they lay in the floor for hours playing and Jack always thinks H needs a blanket over him! Its really funny and I am so glad he loves him despite the occasional love taps he gets sent to time out for!

Bee Movie
If you have not seen Bee Movie you might not get this, but Jack is very obsessed with it right now and he has to act out the movie as a Pollen Jack complete with my big sunglasses. Its the funniest thing ever! Enjoy!

Our day
Jack had school today and I was glad to be able to get some things done, except I forgot that running errands was not going to be as easy since we moved Henry out of his infant car seat over the weekend. He is over the weight limit and it was time, but WOW those things are convenient.
Jack was in it until he was 16 mos old, so it is totally different with a baby who has just learned to sit up and trying to hold him and your keys and your purse just to run in somewhere for 5 seconds...not to mention he was trying to get his nap out this morning too! Thankfully he is a go with the flow baby! We made it everywhere we needed to go and got home in time to check work emails, eat lunch and run back out to pick Jack up. (And this picture is proof that they are not ALWAYS dressed alike! HA! Of course it was only because Henry pooped on the matching outfit!)
Krispy Kreme opened close by about 1 week ago and we pass it going to and from school. Jack pointed it out several times and asked what that was and if we could get a doughnut. Not really a fan of doughnuts and especially not KK I put him off for awhile, but he was in such a happy little mood when I picked him up and he was so good yesterday I decided we would stop. He had to have a hat and wanted a chocolate cruller! All the way home he wore that hat upside down and he scarfed that doughnut down! I guess I should have thought about the sugar high right before nap...because that did not happen today! Oh well, we spent some time together watching TV while H napped and got some work done just in time for J to get home and cook a yummy dinner for us!

4th Weekend
We had a wonderful holiday weekend, like as in one of those where you just don't want to come back to reality. It also helps that Aunt Shan's house is like Disneyland and there is plenty to do and lots of space to play! Jack has asked me every morning, can we go home? After I tell him we are home he says no, home to Colby and Sydney! So, I am thinking next time we have one of those two year old days, I might just take him home! HA!
We shopped, ate WAY to much, slept, played tennis okay I did NOT play tennis, J did, but I am thinking it is totally something I could take up considering the little skirt outfits are really cute!
We headed home late Monday night and made it back just in time to see the fireworks over our city as we drove in. It was quiet and both boys were sleeping...a perfect end to a great weekend! And for the record I would totally be lying if I said this picture does not make me want 5 kids! I mean are they not cute???

Dear Henry: Month Seven
Dear Henry,I was just telling your daddy tonight while we were dressing you for bed that you need to stop growing. 7 months has passed to quickly for me and I am enjoying my time each day with you too much! You are getting such a little personality and love life so much! You are really the easiest and happiest baby I have ever been around. This weekend everyone kept commenting on how good you are and that you never cry...and it is very rare that you cry or even whine! You are beginning to love baby food and we even had to share with your brother for about a week. You eat baby food two times a day, and I think we will be moving to 3 times very soon! You can almost sit up alone for more than two seconds. And you can roll across a room in a second flat. You are about 22lbs and moving to a bigger car seat this weekend! Its time for the bouncy seat, swing, and all your "baby" toys to go to storage. That makes me so sad and I am not sure I am ready for that yet! We love you so much and its amazing to me that God blessed us with a baby that brings so much to our lives.
I Love you sweet boy!
Mommy
