Well, I know it has been over a week since my last post...but we have been enjoying our visit with Nana Diane and Grandpa Jeff. Jack was 1 month old on Thanksgiving day. He is getting so big and changing everyday! He is eating tons, more and more each day and growing like crazy. He now weighs almost 8 pounds and is over 20 inches long! He has discovered his hands. He feels everything, holds the bottle and sucks his thumb. He focuses on your face and has cooed a couple of times. You can tell that a reciprocal smile is right there and will soon come out:)
Thanksgiving was really nice, especially because we could share it with family. Patrick grilled turkey legs and my mom made all the fixings! All I did was the eating! We have extra to be thankful for this year as we have a healthy beautiful baby boy. We watched a lot of football as well of course and even a couple basketball games. Jack went to his first BYU basketball the day the grandparents arrived. Jeff and Patrick also went to a couple more while my mom and I hung out with the baby. We are still walking every day as the weather is still very mild! We also went to Park City with my parents which was a fun adventure (See the cute pic of them by the Park City Moose)! Other than that, we just hung out a bunch. It is extra special to be able to share Jack! Patrick and I also got to go to the BYU Xmas party while the grandparents babysat which was really nice.
Sunday was a very special day as Jack was baptized. He was really good, not one cry, only a few stretches and grunts. It was a beautiful service. Of course we videotaped it and can't wait to share it with all of our family. Here are a bunch of pics from the week.

Too Cute...had to share this one...Jack looks so alert
We took Jack to the mall last night to get his picture with Santa. He did so well even after waiting in line for over an hour. I think the picture turned out so cute. Thanks to Grandma Meribeth for this cute christmas outfit...the vest is just adorable. Jack has several xmas outfits so we have been sporting one every day this week. Yesterday, we went bowling with Aunt Dawn and the cousins, and had a lot of fun. It is 60 degrees here, and we have been taking walks everyday...and enjoying outside as much as we can. More pics to come later this week.
