Sweet photos of our sweet boy

Jack's Baptism

We had Jack baptized on January 20th at 10.30 a.m. What's very weird is that a year ago on the 20th at 10.30 a.m., we found out that we were having a Boy!! So it was very bittersweet. Jack did really well in church and even took a bit of a snooze. He didn't even cry when Pastor Jeff doused his head with the Holy Water. Grandma Lou made his baptismal gown and bonnet and he looked so sweet. She did a great job! I've included some photos of his baptism for you to see. We can't believe he's over 7 months old already - it's been such a whirlwind and so much fun.

What a blessing this is for you! I know that it's been a long & bumpy road for the both of you. It just took God a little longer to find you your angel. I know you want to savor every moment, but to be honest this waiting is for the birds! I can't wait to hold my nephew/niece!!!!! And Owen can't wait to teach him/her all of his tricks:) GOD BLESS! XOXOXOX Jessica

January 20th, 2008 - Jack's Baptism

We had Jack baptized on January 20th at 10.30 a.m. What's very weird is that a year ago on the 20th at 10.30 a.m., we found out that we were having a Boy!! So it was very bittersweet. Jack did really well in church and even took a bit of a snooze. He didn't even cry when Pastor Jeff doused his head with the Holy Water.

We can't believe he's over 7 months old already - it's been such a whirlwind and so much fun.

Here's some more videos of our little man Jack

Could I sound any stupider? And this was the very first time Jack rolled over back to front..I was very pleased as you can probably tell.

Jack's first Christmas morning and opening presents!!

We have a visual

of Jack's 1st baby tooth!!! It's coming in on the bottom - you can feel a ridge and you look at it - well once Jack stops being silly and lets you look into his mouth, and you see a tiny little tooth sprouting!! It's so exciting yet so bittersweet that this little miracle of ours is growing at such a fast pace. We now know why he's been getting up in the middle of the night the last couple weeks and it was this darned baby tooth!!

Here's Jack just being a silly boy!!! Enjoy!
