Merry Christmas!

It has been a week of firsts. Jack met his Uncle Micah and lots of other family for the first time. Jack went on his first road trip (in the snow!). Landon (our 4 year old nephew) took an interest in Jack for the first time (he's been jealous and has ignored him up until now). Jack went to church for the first time. Jack also vomited for the first time (great fun). And we had our first Christmas with Jack - the BEST Christmas present ever!

Jack's 2 week update

We took Jack to the doctor this past Thursday for his 2 week checkup....he's a healthy boy!!! We prayed and prayed for a healthy child throughout the pregnancy, and God has answered our prayers. Here's his new measurements:

Weight: 8 lb, 14.5 oz (gained 11.5 oz)
Length: 21.5 in. (grew .5 in)
Head circumference: 14 cm (grew 1 cm)

Jack Update

This post is coming to you several days late, but I'm sure you understand :) We took Jack to the doctor this past Tuesday for a checkup when he was 5 days old. Everything was great! He was already back up to his birth weight! Here are some stats we got:

Length: 90%
Weight: 50%
Head circumference: 10%

The past 3 nights Jack has slept REALLY well in his crib. Last night I was able to put him down around 11:45 opposed to around 1:30am the two previous nights. That did mean he woke up earlier this morning though. He is such a great baby and we are absolutely thrilled to have him as a part of our family!!

Who does Jack look like?

Luke and I looked at our baby pictures today to see who Jack most looks like. We think mostly Luke, with Laura's nose. What's your vote???

Luke: Jack:
Laura:

For the Grands and Great Grands

Jack gets the hiccups all the time....just like when I was pregnant with him.
