The quest for sleep

At my mother's suggestion, I picked a book to help Jack sleep through the night. Today is day one of our attempt. Sadly, this means postponing Jack's morning feeding until 8:00 AM, much to Jack's lament:

He did eventually make it to 8:00 and then settled down, allowing me to score some quality sleep time:

Jack's new camera

Jack brought us to Best Buy yesterday and picked out a camera for us to take pictures of him with. It's got this neat thingy where you filter out all colors except one. Check out this blue picture. I feel so professional!

Our favorite pictures

While I'm waiting to get ahold of Sunday's pictures, I thought I'd post our two favorites so far.

Here's Carly's favorite:

And mine:

It's funny - he already looks different than he did in these pictures. Luckily, we're taking pictures almost constantly.

Baptism

Today was Jack's baptism. It was a big, tiring day for Jack. He woke up at 5:30 AM with a runny eye, and didn't sleep until he got to church at 1:00 PM - in fact, he was the only one of the six babies that didn't cry during the ceremony. After a great party at his Nana & Grampa's house (of which I'll post pictures when I get them), Jack had his first urgent care visit at the doctor's for his eye. We were expecting to hear "pink eye", but instead were told that it's simply a clogged tear duct. While we were there, he got a weigh-in. Any guesses? I was thinking 9 pounds 4 ounces, but he was actually 9 pounds 11 ounces. So he gained two pounds in two weeks!

Oh, and he sucked his thumb for the first time today. :)

The Christmas card that almost was

Are you ready to rock? I think you are! We were tempted to put this on our Christmas cards this past year...but we went with the one without the rocker hand.

Day 1 - Still tired from the move

All these punk kids are blogging, and then it hit me - Jack's a kid...or at least he will be eventually. He needs to get a head start. Plus, it keeps me from having to email pictures to people. "What's Jack up to lately?" Now I can respond with "Read his blog, fool!"

So, expect to see pictures, maybe some stories about Jack, and someday when he becomes the superhero computer geek I imagine him to be, he might even grace this blog with his personal presence.
