Rolling Over...oh my!

We spent the day at Grandma & Grandpa's today and Julia decided that at 6 weeks old she would show off her rolling over skills (from tummy to back) after a diaper change...I thought it was a fluke, but it has happened 7 more times this evening..so I am guessing it is more than a fluke!

Don't buy toys...

...instead buy something for yourself and give them the box and packing materials!

Shake Your Jack Booty

Thanks Dad for teaching me a new song! Jason was getting Jack ready for bed the other night and Jack learned a new song...I could hear the little backup singer all the way downstairs...don't mind my singing...

Por favor...S'il vous plait

It's never too early to learn a foreign language...or two...Jack has been practising his Spanish and French. Please is a good word to learn in any language! Jack really likes saying por favor as he thinks it sounds like "purple bear"! Now if only he could work on being more graceful...you will understand after you watch the video...

Froot Loops!

Jack was ready to hang out with his dad as soon as he saw the Froot Loop box!

Happy Halloween!

Julia's first Halloween!

Julia loves to sit up so we tried out the Bebe Pod today and she loved it! Our little girl is getting so big...last week at her 1 month appointment she weighed in at 8 pounds and 11 ounces (up 2 pounds since we left the hospital!) and 21 3/4 inches long!

This is not the best picture, but it's the best of many trying to get a picture of Jack & Julia together!

Here Jack is waiting for the Trick-or-Treaters to arrive...

Jack playing with the black Halloween cat...

Happy Birthday Ma!

Happy Birthday Ma! Today is Ma's birthday, but we celebrated last Sunday...

Julia gave Ma a big birthday smile!

Jack was happy to share Ma's birthday cake!

Shhh...Ma may not be too happy with this video since Jack proudly says how old she is...

I'm J-A-C-K!

Jack's been able to spell his name for the last few months, but I was just able to get it on video!

Letters & Numbers

A few of Jack's obessions...numbers and letters...so his new pj's from Ma & Pa are very appropriate! We just need to wait a few months for Julia to fit into her matching number pj's for another picture! We have gotten to the point where Jack points out the letters and numbers on signs (it's really quite amusing) and he has discovered that his books have numbers on the bottom of the page and it's very important to point them out!

Jack loves playing in Julia's closet (not that there's tons of better places to play)...he likes to take out all of her socks and hide them around her bedroom....sometimes I wonder if he even needs any toys!

One Month for Julia!

Julia is officially one month old today! We had to celebrate by taking a few pictures...check out her strawberry hat (it's a little big, but we couldn't wait...it's too cute to not try on!)...maybe I took more than a few pictures, but I couldn't help myself! Julia has finally graduated from her newborn pj's and is ready to wear some of her new clothes, which means more opportunities for more pictures!

Off with Baby's Socks!

Jack has finally taken a liking to his baby sister...he is even giving her kisses (normally only reserved for his bears). He decided today that it would be a fun game to take off Julia's socks and proudly announce "off with baby's socks!".

What?...I didn't do anything!

Kiss for Julia!

Off with Baby's Socks!
