My first trip in the stroller

Boy was Jack happy to try out his new stroller. After getting settled in he went for a quick walk in the park with Mommy and Daddy and slept soundly through the entire trip!

Aunt Michele

Jack met his Aunt Michele today. She came over during lunch and fed Jack while Mike and I had a chance to eat our lunch! Michele also brought over a bouncer for Jack to use while in Atlanta (thank goodness...the bouncer is a real life saver). Jack was a happy boy all afternoon!

Uncle Spike

After we got back to Atlanta on Monday, Spike came over to meet Jack.

Jack's First Bath

Mike and I gave Jack his first bath late last night. We were both terrified of doing this but we made it through without too much screaming from Jack. Mike held Jack while I did a quick washing. After we got his body washed we wrapped him up tight in a towel and then washed his hair which he didn't mind at all. He smelled so good after his bath...you know that sweet baby smell that just warms your heart.

Jack also had his first doctor's appointment yesterday. The doctor said that he is perfect and everything looked great. Jack had gained 5 ounces since birth and now weighs 7 pounds 6 ounces. He is eating like a little piglet! His head had also grown to 37 cm which is in the 50th percentile. While Dr. Boarman was checking Jack out, he decided to tee-tee on the nice doctor. We go back to the doctor in 2 weeks for his next checkup.

Jack and his daddy!

Jack likes to hang out with his daddy. He is already helping Mike with homework and studying right along with him. On Thursday night Jack helped Mike cheer on the Yellow Jackets to a victory over UNC in basketball. They both can't wait for March Madness to begin!

Jack's Visitors

While at the hospital Traci and Rebecca came to meet Jack. Traci is also a professor at UK and was so nice to have a shower for me here in Lexington. Mike and I have been so blessed to make such wonderful friends here in KY.

Friday was a busy day for Jack. He had lots of visitors. David and Kara came over in the morning to see the little man. David works at UK with me and gave me the update at work while visiting. He and Kara have been such great friends to us and Kara was my backup plan in case I went into labor while Mike was in Atlanta. Luckily we didn't have to call her in the middle of the night to take me to the hospital!

For Kara it was love at first sight! Kara fed Jack while she was here visiting and he even gave her a good burp.

Lorelei (Lolly) had so much fun chasing around after Sophie and trying out Jack's new toys. She discovered that the bouncer made animal noises which was something new to Mike and I. We had no idea all of the fun things that the bouncer does...leave it to a toddler to show us how the thing works!

Kayln came over with Ryan, Traci, and Lorelei to meet Jack. They brought some yummy dinner for us as well. Jack was such an angel and slept through the entire visit.
