Jack turned 8 weeks old this last Sunday, June 29!  Not only did he get a treat by meeting his dad’s side of the family and swimming for the first time, but he was dedicated to the Lord during church that morning.
The day was also doubly special because my father - “Big Jack” (Little Jack’s [...]

I wonder if mommy realizes she forgot my shirt?  I’ve never worn these pants before.

Swimming? hahaha.. you guys are so silly, mommy and daddy.
We’re going swimming!  Yay!

Wait a minute, mommy…What’s swimming?
What do you mean my diaper is going to get wetter??
(I’m not so sure I want anything to [...]

Last weekend went by so fast!  Jack-Evan turned 8 weeks old on June 29, the same day his dedication was scheduled in church.  For those of you who may not be familiar, I attend a pentecostal holiness church - we dedicate babies (instead of infant baptism) in front of our church family to show we [...]

I hate the word bored.  Boredom, to me, means that you do not have the resources inside of your head to occupy your thoughts when there are no outside forces acting to entertain you.  The world has a habit of needing to go go go go go all the time.  In this fast-food world of [...]

Whew!  The past few days have been so BUSY!  Jack-Evan turned 8 weeks old today, and also celebrated his dedication to the Lord at our church.
In honor of his dedication, Kevin’s family from New York came all the way here to South Carolina for visit.  It’s 11:40 pm, Sunday night, and I’m a bit pooped [...]

Being the proud mother that I am, I love my son’s name.  I mean, really LOVE his name.  I consider it quite a shame that people only get called by their first name because I wouldn’t mind which name my son got called by. 
Jack.  Little Jack.   Jack-Evan.  Jack E.  Elijah.  Eli.  
Around our family, he gets [...]

As mentioned earlier, Jack-Evan had his first trip to the park today! 
Here is a little video we shot on the slide.  Today was the first day that Jack was able to sit out “forward” in his little body sling.  Usually, he sits facing me and sleeps when he’s in the sling.  It’s exciting that he can [...]

There’s this neighborhood park around the corner from Grammy and Papa’s house that mommy has been telling me about. She says she use to play there when she was a little girl (I can’t imagine my mommy being little). Daddy says it’s also where he asked [...]

Ok.  I have officially had my first physically taxing night with a baby.
Sunday afternoon, I could tell Jack didn’t feel well.  He would whine, doze for a few mintes, whine again, eat restlessly, and whine some more. 
Then at 6 pm the crying started in earnest.  Nothing we could do would console him!
By 8 pm (and [...]
