"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Baby Jack's fan club

I know I already have a million pictures of this little guy and his sibs, but I really can't get enough of their fascination with him.  And the pictures will just help me remember how much they do love him right now.

Luke and Erika will just sit here and love all over him anytime he is within their reach.  It's adorable.  


Luke put his little kitty in Jack's arm and was so giddy about the fact that Jack bent his arm and "wouldn't let go of it!".  They were giggling and came to get me and made sure I got a picture of it :).  So cute.
I also wanted to mention what a good baby Jack is.  As if I haven't done that enough.  And just to humor those of you who don't know what that means, here are the things that make Jack a "good baby". 
his cuddliness
he nurses well
he usually only wakes me up once a night
when he does wake me up, he will eat, then go right back to sleep! such an angel
he rarely cries
when he does cry, it's just a fussy little whine for the first 5 minutes, he gives me time to stop what I'm doing before he goes full force on the alligator tears
he's pretty easy to console
he lets everyone hold him and is usually content with even the smallest little hands and arms
he loves me :)
he has only had a few diaper blow outs in the almost 2 months he's been alive
he loves his bath and we found out today that he loves the shower as well
he stays asleep when I move him from one place to another
he doesn't startle easily and he is a HEAVY sleeper
he's not as sensitive to big kid noises, so he's okay to just hang out in the same room with his older sibs

Is this list long enough to justify the title?  Absolutely.  I would know, I've had several not "good babies".  They're much harder, but not any less cute and lovable.  (some of my kids need to know that just because they weren't easy babies, doesn't mean we don't love them.... you can't help but love a baby.)





Not sure how this got in here, but this was our Conference game... it's not my favorite, but the kids sit and listen (for the most part) so it's all good.  And we get snacks :)










There have been a number of times that he has smiled at me when I am smiling at him.  I am not sure if they were on purpose, however, because I can't seem to get him to do it every time.  But look how cute his little smile is right now :)  I can't believe I got a picture :)










I love having pictures of their faces like this, this is how I seem him most :)  So sweet!!!  Just wanna kiss his little cheeks!
