Thank you Easter Bunny

Well, Jack's first Easter was a success. The bunny brought him lots of goodies and he even participated in the Egg Hunt at church. They had tiny size eggs that were just right for his little hands to hold. We also had our first picture with the Easter Bunny, and there was no screaming! He did get fussy but only because I took my necklace away and not because he was scared of the bunny. We went to the doctor yesterday for his sixth month check and everything is going great. He is 16lbs. 3 oz., 27 1/2 inches, and a little big boy. Now that he has learned how to use his Jumperoo that his Gram gave him, he jumps all day. Justin took it with him up to church one day and Jack just jumped and jumped in the front office, greeting everyone who came in. I am sure that was quite a sight. We also took Jack to the Rendezvous where he was quite determined to get a rib in his mouth. We told him maybe next time. After that we went to see the ducks at the Peabody who were quite frisky for the occasion. He was fascinated by the ducks, but next time we will have to find a better place to change his diaper as holding him on my lap on the floor of the bathroom was not the best idea I have ever had.

Walkers are the Best!

Well, Jack has a new best friend...his walker. Red and T let the Easter Bunny come a little early, the Mississippi Easter Bunny, and now Jack is the happiest boy ever! He likes to make out with the dragon, turn the pages of his book, spin himself around, and play his music. It is great! It has also helped him figure out how to use his Jumperoo which is now a toy of choice as well. He gets in it and just goes to town jumping up and down. He really figured it out on Friday when Megan was over here and we were all amazed. For a while now he has sat in his Jump Up and just enjoyed the toys and everything, but he is fascinated and so excited now that he knows how to really use it. It is great! Can you believe that he is going to be sixth months old next week? It's crazy!

Working Mom

Well, Jack decided to let me go back to work part time. If only for a short time. I took a contract position for part time work a few days a week. He is going to his regular PDO programs and also getting to spend a whole day with him and his dad. Justin has been great about helping out and doing everything he can to help me be able to go back to work. It's been hard, though. I didn't really know just how hard it was going to be until I was actually in the position where I just sat there and wondered what he was doing with every minute. If this position works out okay, then I will think about maybe going back to work full time, but I am definitely not in any hurry. I am enjoying being with Jack too much. Who wouldn't? He is a wonderful child and soo much fun! He is really trying to get his legs in position to crawl right now. He just can't quite grasp it. We are also well on our way to sitting up by ourselves. He can tripod but hasn't figured out what to do when he starts to topple over. There have been a few mishaps along the way, but he has come out fine (I think it scared me more than him). He is getting excited about going to visit his grandparents this weekend. I know that Red is excited, it has been over a month and a half since has seen him.
