I'm suppressing the urge to post every picture I take, but they're all so cute it's hard to choose! We've had lots of first the past couple weeks...1st bath, 1st nap in the moby wrap, 1st interaction with the guinea pigs, 1st jeans, 1st whole day without having to change Jack's or mommy's entire outfit because of various incidents (usually 2 or 3) at the changing table, 1st outing with mommy that's not to the doctor (it took us 2hours to find a window to go to the bookstore between changing and feeding and changing again). But...I never thought this stuff would be so fun, I'm enjoying every minute (just don't ask me to repeat that at 3am).

Jack is always so happy after his bath--he loves the water! I guess we can count that as something he got from mommy!
Jack's 1st jeans. He is growing into and out of his clothes so fast! He barely keeps these on right now and I bet by the end of next week they won't fit, but he sure looks cute now.
The hat was obviously not my idea--it's completely the wrong color (and four letters off), but he was watching BYU basketball with daddy. He'll learn when he's older where his loyalties should lie.
Matt likes to call Hammie and Porky (the guinea pigs) Jack's brothers. They seemed to get along ok.
I got these cute wrist rattles because he is getting so good at controlling his hands, but he hasn't really discovered them yet. (we have some for his feet too, but he hasn't figured out he has feet yet, so we won't try them yet.)

Yeah he looks like Matt. He is a cutie thats forsure. All I can say is don't let anyone tell you your spoiling him by holding him too much. It's only been five months for me and theres no way he would let me just sit and hold him all the time. I miss it already.

Matt & Mindy,

It's about time I sent you a Congratualtions on your little guy.
What a cute baby! He's a keeper!

I suppose Michigan isn't what your Mom and Dad would have voted for, but I guess it's closer and cheaper than Hawaii as far as traveling to see you. I hate that all of you kids take our grandkids and move to far away places. What's up with that anyway?

Alyson went to the doctor today and she was dilated at 2 and efased 50%, so they broke the membrane. I guess will see if her baby decides to come in the next few days, or hold out for his due date on the 14th. Poor Angela is due next week and her body is doing NOTHING! These babies keep ya guessing.

You take care!!!
Love, Aunt Shauna
