The Rest of July...

We have had a very bust month. We started out with 4th of July and solid foods. Mid-month we went to visit Melissa, Myla and Colin in New Orleans (the 5 hour car ride with Jack was not our greatest idea). My dad (Grandpa Jim), Ileana and Grammy came to visit a few weekends ago and this weekend my Mom is coming to visit. In the middle of all of this I have traveled to New Orleans twice for business, and we are now in the process of interviewing nanny's! Attached here are a few pictures from our adventures. You will see a lot of aquarium pictures, because went to the New Orleans aquarium with the Goodnight's and the Houston aquarium with my dad. There are also some photos from Jack's first carousal ride.

Jack is starting to really interact with us. He just started reaching to be picked up or to be put near or in a toy he wants to play with. He is screeching, grunting and laughing at us. He is grabbing for things with both hands and is able to put his foot in his mouth. IT is so much fun to watch him grow and develop. He has gotten much better at eating solid food, and we can safely say that he sleep through the night. In fact I think he may like sleeping at night a little too much. He is in bed everyday a 7:00, (if we wait any longer he become extremely grouchy) and will sleep until 6:00... During the day however, he does not want to take naps. Poor Annette has to fight with him everyday in order to get him to sleep.

That pretty mich summarizes all of our activities and Jacks development in a nutshell. Here are the pictures...

Yummy Yummy in Jack's Tummy!

Today Jack had his first tast of solid food! It was more runny mushy then solid, but it was eaten off a spoon and not from a bottle. For his fist meal he had single grain oatmeal with a tiny bit of prunes. Yum!

Funny story, yesterday at the doctors they measured his head circumference and i dont remember what it was but I do know that it is in the 10nth percentile. So I bought the oatmeal with DHA (helpful for brain and eye development) just in case.

I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Getting ready
Here comes the airplane...

Yea!
Arghhhhh....


no thank you.
my hand still tastes better.
I am done.

Today Jack had his 4 month well check. Everything checked out great. Here are his latest stats:

Weight: 14lbs 8oz -50th percentile
Length: 26"-90th percentile (yes that means top 10% for height, not sure were that came from)

Dia De Independencia

Jack had a great time on his first 4th of July weekend. We went to Quinton's 3rd B-Day party, we went to Clint and Nicole's house, where I dominated at Tiger Woods 10, and we went to Granettes house for Burgers and Fun on the 4th. It was fun, but these weekends are brutal on Jack's sleep patterns. We spent all day today trying to get him settled back into his normal routine. it was quite the battle of wills. I'm glad to report, dispite much resistance from Jack, he is fast asleep at 8:00 tonight. Just 30 minutes late. Not too bad.

Here are some pictures of Family and Jack. Jessica and Lance finally got to meet him. Yay!
