SILLY

Jack got some John Deere jammies from JT himself for christmas and he wanted to wear them last night so of course we let him. Well the pants were a bit on the big side and he was running around and they fell down off his cute little butt.............and the pictures will show you how funny he thought it was. Then he finally realized that JT was on his jammies at the end. HE IS CRAZY!!!!!

Twas the afternoon before Christmas....SANTA came

Santa came to our house today while mommy and jack were at work!!!! On our drive home I asked Jack if he wanted Santa to come to his house and he said NOOOOO!!! Then I asked if he wanted Santa to come to his house and bring him some toys and he said "uh huh". Needless to say he was very excited but his first few presents were John Deere stuff so we had problems getting him focused to open more!!!!!

I have more pictures of tonight and our weekend but I will wait and post those. Although they are tooooo funny! So we'll keep you wanting more!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

matt, lindsay and jack

playdate

Hey everyone. Just a little update and pics from our playdate with Zoey and Myah the other day. Zoey is Jack's girlfriend, dating all the way back to the NICU days. They were both born early and they were in the NICU at the same time. (Zoey will be 2 in Feb) and Myah is Zoey's new baby sister (BORN FULL TERM!!!!)



Below is a pic of them sitting on the couch together. They really do play well together. And they actually PLAY TOGETHER. A lot of kids their age just play around each other but not together. They are cute. It's like they know they are supposed to be friends and be cute. haha.





This was Jack's first time around a baby really. He is around kids his own age a lot but not teeny babies. He wasn't really sure. When I first was holding her, he told me to "Clean up" and then he would tell me "all done". Quite humorous. He is defintely a mama's boy so the jealousy came out in full force.

So below is the picture of Jack holding Myah, with big sister Zoey by his side making sure he did it right. He was very sweet to Myah for the most part. He wanted to miss her a lot but then the next thing you knew him and Zoey would be throwing toys. YIKES!!!






Update on jack, well he was sick at the beginning of the week and much to our dismay....ANOTHER EAR INFECTION. he is on another round of oral antibiotics and i am not seeing anymore drainage from his ear so hopefully it clears up because if now, shots again for 3 days and we do not want that.



He is such a ham lately. he is WAY into dancing. he loves to turn the radio on or put music on the computer and dances away. he swings his arms around and around and then you will tell him to do his feet and he tap his little feet. it's hyserical!!! Still into john deere and elmo of course. He is talking up a storm. I think he says something new everyday, its just whether we can understand him or not. His new thing is to ask for a hot dog. Everytime we eat almost he says hot dog. And the funny thing is, he doesn't hardly get those that often. He has also been talking about the potty a lot, which is calls "bubble". not sure why but when you say potty, he says bubble. He sits on it occassionally but nothing happens. We are NOT pushing it at all. I know he isn't ready. Some kids at school are sitting on the potty regularly so I think that's why. His time will come, slowly but surely I know!!!



Well, I am going to get to bed. LOTS of snow tonight so early to rise to get to work on time!!!

Hope everyone is well and you all are ready for Christmas!!!!


HUGS,
Lindsay


p.s. new favorite food for the week: corn bread! he had about 5 pieces yesterday!!!


p.s.s. picture below is the all famous "oohh ohh ahh ahh" Hope we never lose him!!! (the monkey was actually mine and my roommate in college, Jan, brought him home from Florida one time!! haha)

winter fun

Well, today jack had his very first ever experience out in the snow. I wasn't sure what he was going to think of it. this summer we bought a little sled at a garage sale and i thought it would be an okay to head outside. i bundled him up really well. lots of layers as you see. 3 hats!!! he could hardly move at all. we got all dressed and got the sled out and he had to have his dog that he takes for walks outside (it's stuffed i might add). so i put him and his dog in the sled and start walking around the yard. he wasn't really making any expressions so i wasn't sure if he was scared, couldn't move, gonna puke or what. so i stopped to see what he would do and he signed to me "more" so we kept going. the picture of him crying was when i stopped to take some pictures.

we headed to the back yard and got him out of the sled and showed him how to make a little snow ball and i threw a few at a tree nearby. he wasn't into that at all. when i put snow in my hand he told me to "clean up". he didn't want to touch it at all and he didn't want it on him at all. he wanted back in the sled and kept riding!!!

so we had a really great time and next time we are going to try snow angels. that should be interesting!!! haha. Enjoy the pictures!!!

nothing much

Hi everyone!!! I don't have much to post but I didn't want you to think we forgot about updating. The winter is going good so far. Jack just had a follow up appointment with his ear doctor and so far so good and it's been about 3 weeks so he said we wouldn't have to come back for 6 months if he keeps up the good work. I told the doctor that we would go thru withdrawal from not seeing him for that long after seeing him about every week to every other week in the past 6 months!

Jack has his first little cold of the winter as well but he isn't doing too bad. Just some coughing and runny nose. No fever and not too much wheezing. I think we have this one under control. We'll just pray the rest of the winter he stays healthy! He did qualify for getting the RSV shot this winter so we are really thankful for that. He goes in once a month for a shot that helps protect against RSV. He hates it and i hate it but we love that it keeps him from getting sick.

FUNNY JACK STORY:
The other day, Jack and I were at my mom and dads and my dad was on the couch sleeping and snoring. jack doesn't really know snoring since matt and i don't snore. jack and i and my mom were playing and then all of a sudden jack went and got a book. he got a thomas the train book that has buttons that play sounds or music or whatever. he got the book, took it over to the couch where my dad was laying (no expression whatsoever from jack this whole time). he layed the book down beside my dad, just kept looking at my dad and then pressed a button on the book. it was the "snore" button. it sounded like someone snoring!!!! IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!! still no expression from jack and he is just staring at my dad. my dad is not moving and he pushes the button again. and my dad did nothing, jack wasn't amused and he went back to playing. i just thought it was funny that he knew that the book snored and so did my dad. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

well, that's about it for now. sorry i don't have any new pictures to post today. jack's too busy to stop and get a good picture anymore!!!! haha

hope all is well and that everyone is getting ready for the holidays!!!!
hugs
