Good News at the Dr!

We went to the doctor again yesterday for a weight check since Jack still had not hit is birth weight. We were thrilled to get good news as he gained 8 ounces this week to hit his birth weight and then some, now at 7 pounds 2 ouces! Had to share the good news. He is a healthy little boy, eating very well and still sleeping pretty well at night for mom and dad (knocking on wood as I write this).

3 Weeks Old!

Yes, Jack is 3 weeks old today! He is definitely growing his personality and letting us know exactly what he wants! We have started to be able to detect whether he is fussy, hungry, or angry as his cries become more differentiated. We had a good weekend. We went to the BYU soccer game against USC (NCAA 2nd Round hosted by BYU) on Saturday. Jack enjoyed the game from the sling on Dad. It was an exciting game, but BYU lost in a shoot out after remaining tied at 1-1 after 2 overtimes. BYU football got another win against Air Force, but the big game is next week against the undefeated Utes of Utah. On Sunday, we went to church, and then we all took an afternoon nap while catching some football. The weather has turned nice again and Jack and I have been taking daily walks which we both really enjoy. We are all very excited as Nana Diane and Grandpa Jeff are coming on Friday!

During waketime, Jack loves to gaze up at the adorable fish mobile. The cat also really enjoys the mobile...but definitely keeps her distance from that baby! PaPa, I had to take a picture for you as I found Jack playing with his new golf bag....Maybe next month he will start working on his swing!

Naptime

Ah...isn't it cute!!! Had to post this. Patrick and Jack taking a snooze in the chair. I think they are both so cute...even more when they are asleep! Quiet time for me!

Happy Sunday!

We had a nice and relaxing weekend. It started with good news on Friday. Jack's jaundice level was low enough to discontinue the lights! He only had to get one more foot prick on Saturday and now we are all done! It is definitely nice to be free after a week of the "lights lock down"!

Saturday, we watched a lot of football. BYU got another win against San Diego State. The BYU Women's Soccer Team also won the conference title on Saturday! On Sunday, we made our very first outing to church. We then walked through the outdoor mall for a couple of hours. Jack really enjoyed his ride in the sling. He also liked sleeping in the car. Here are a couple pics of Jack in his bouncer. This week he is starting to stay awake a little more, looking around taking in all the sights and sounds. He has also been a little more demanding, letting us know exactly what he wants! :)

Jack's First Walk!

Jack and I have been going on daily walks while we can while the weather cooperates! His first walk was extra special though because Grandma Maggie (Pat's Grandmother) came along pushing him through the neighborhood. Jack did sleep the entire time but Grandma and I really enjoyed it!

TaTa's Furniture for Jack!

Tata (Pat's Grandfather) dedicated a lot of time and effort to building a couple of pieces for Jack's nursury. Just had to share these pics as these handcrafted solid oak pieces are just beautiful! Words just don't do enough justice. So very special as these will be appreciated for a lifetime. The first one is a changing table and the second is a unique rocker with an attached cradle (definately one of a kind)!
