Well- Last week marked a new adventure... Mr. Jack rolled over 3 times! He rolls from his back to his stomach. He loves it when Daddy lays down next to him and coaches him by screaming "Come on Jack! You can do it!" And then- he listens! So cute! He also has started wanting to go to sleep at night on his stomach. Mommy does not like this very much at all! I set my alarm every hour to check on him. He has also started waking up 3 times a night! CRAZY! It is like we are back to the newborn stages. Finally- he has started eating 7 ounces every 4 hours... He has about 4-5 bottles a day but if he has 5 the last one is usually 3-4 ounces...Not sure if I have updated you already on any of this but these are our new accomplishments... :) He is really growing! Everywhere we go people ask me if he is 6 or 9 months... Too funny! He will go to the doctor for his shots and a check up this month. We will update you on his percentile for his growth then. Really he is eating what is recommended- he is just a long and big boy. He is loving Ms. Joy still... She is very good with him. She takes him on daily walks and when I came home today it looked like he had a play station set up in every corner! His new favorite thing is for you to raise his feet to his chin. He just laughs so hard! Ms. Joy found out this trick. It is too cute! This past weekend my dear friend Amanda came in town. We had a great time just hanging out with Mr. Jack. She got in on Saturday and we cooked dinner at home that night and my coworker and friend Cassy brought over her daughter and grand son Phoenix. Phoenix is 16 months and cute as a button! Cassy has spoiled Jack long before he was born! She gave him something every month of my pregnancy and she just loves him :) Sunday we got up and went to the mall to meet Sara and her baby Grace. I have pictures of Jack and Grace I will post. They were too cute! Grace is 2 months older than Jack. This was the first time they really locked eyes and started to wonder about each other. Saturday night we went to eat at the club and Jack was so good! He did not fuss any and he just enjoyed the time out. Monday he was even better! We went to Birkdale with Amanda and Daddy and Jack was a happy baby all day while we walked around and ate lunch. He even had his bottle outside watching the kids run through the fountains in Birkdale square. We had a great weekend and enjoyed our visitor! Jack was glad to meet Amanda- he told me so! :) His next guests will be Scott and Kinsey! We are all excited to see them too! We will update more soon!
