Jack

As we all know, Jack is very curious and into everything. This is one of the many things that I've found after I've finished feeding the baby. He was so proud of himself as he pulled every bottle out of the pantry and lined it up on the counter all by himself.

Sydney got a gift in the mail the other day from My brother-in-laws mom, Auntie Lori. Along with the darling things she sent for Sydney, she send a little package for Jack so he wouldn't feel left out. He loved the soccer ball and puppy dog! And it was so nice of her to think of him!

My mom came out 2 weeks before sydney was born to help us get settled (she pretty much unpacked everything for us!!) and she stayed until a couple days after. Steve's mom came the day my mom left and stayed for a few days. It was great to see them and we were so thankful to have their help. And Jack loved spending time with them while they were here!

It's been a while...

So I know it's been a while since I've posted, but it's not that I'm not excited to share our sweet baby girl with everyone. It's more like I'm trying to get settled in our new home, learn my way around a new area, try to make some friends, keep Jack from attacking his little sister, oh and getting used to having 2 kids.

Even though things have been a little crazy around here are times, I wanted to take some time to share some pictures from the first few weeks with our adorable baby girl. We've loved every minute with her and can't imagine our lives without her.

like father...

Clearly you can see what jack has observed about his mother. And he sure does have some big shoes to fill of his father's.

We stayed with Steve's sister Becky and her family in for the first few weeks of our stay here in Denver. Jack loved having some of his cousins there to play with all the time. And we are so grateful they were so willing to open their home to us for a few weeks. We miss them, even though they are just a few miles down the road.

One of Jack's other favorite things while we were there was the piano. He loved it!! He played it by himself and took some lessons from cousin Kenzie.
