first tooth

On Monday May 7 I noticed that I could see the outline of John's tooth under his gum. Tuesday morning May 8 he woke up and had a tooth in his mouth. Bottom left tooth has made it's way in.

6 months old

Our sweet baby boy turned 6 months old on Monday. He is such a good baby. Sleeps all night, sometimes up to 12 hours at a time. Doesn't nap real well, but I'll take sleeping all night over good naps any day. He's trying to sit up and can roll both ways. He's got the best little personality and the best smiles in the world. We couldn't ask for better. He now weighs 16 lbs 13 oz and is 26" long. He got 3 shots and while he cried during the shots, he was great the rest of the day.

4 months old

John saw his first snowfall on Tuesday night. He wasn't quite sure what to think of it.

my sweet baby boy is 4 months old now. He turned 4 months on Thursday Jan 19 and it wasn't a good day for him. He went to the doctor and got 2 shots and was a miserable mess all day. He now weighs 14 pounds and is 25 inches long/tall. His head is 16 inches. Funny because at 4 months old his head is only an inch bigger then Jakob's at birth.

January 5, 2012....he's playing with toys now

I've had this toy out for John many times but all he's done is look at it. Today he started playing with the toys hanging from it and was entertained for long periods of time at a time.

LOL, this is Jakob's Cupcake, stuffed cat...he's been wearing this outfit for a long time now. Today I found the matching outfit in a bag in my closet. It fits John now and sure as heck won't fit come summer, so I put it on him to take pictures of them together.

December 31, 2011

My New Years Eve. date. John and I spent the afternoon with Pam and Sam. Both babies were so good and so happy all day.

Dec 29, 2011....rolling baby

John started rolling over from his back to his belly. For the most part he doesn't like it too much. Even if you can't see him, you can tell he's on his belly again because he starts crying.

(1-5-12) today and yesterday he rolled to his belly, did a little "swimming" and trying to get back to his back, and then just laid his head down and went to sleep.

December 25, 2011...baby's first Christmas

spoiled baby's bedroom looks like a small toy store now. And most of his toys he can't even play with yet.

Cute little Santa baby

Santa baby and his adorable big brother.

Wiped out baby boy....guess this is what he thought of Christmas.

December 24, 2011 Christmas Eve jammies

We have always gotten Jakob pajamas for Christmas eve. So of course we added John to this tradition this year. He wasn't overly impressed. He was just tired.

December 20, 2011..laughing baby

John started laughing today. He's let out a few hahas here and there, but today he was full on laughing at Grandpa. Ok, video won't load, but here is a picture. Cutest sound in the world.

December 19, 2011, 3 months old and early Christmas present

So our sweet baby boy is 3 months old now. Where has the time gone? He's getting happier, cuter and sweeter. He smiles all the time, sleeps like a champ and is generally a very happy baby.

He received a gift card from my cousin Vicki for Christmas. One of the things I got him with it was a package of wrist rattles. As you can see he loves them.

November 18, 2011 first sickness and November 24, 2011 First Thanksgiving

Jakob came home the week before Thanksgiving with sore throat and cough. He ended up missing two days of school because of it. So the week of Thanksgiving John started coughing and not feeling well. Poor little guy was pretty miserable, but still able to sleep well. Just made his Mommy sad. On Thanksgiving we had the whole family over and they of course played pass the baby. He slept most of the day and really didn't feel well. Took him awhile, but he got over it.
