Well, Hurricane Earl turned out to be a huge disappointment. We barely got any rain and no wind. Jack's daycare apparently did not get the message that the hurricane missed us so they were closed on Friday. Cindy still had school, so Jack got to spend the day with his dad at Battery G.

Things around here have gotten real busy real quick. I've gone back to school, Newman's busy at work and Jack's busy being adorable:).

Jack had his two month check-up on August 18th and he's doing great! He was 11 lbs 6 oz and 22 in. He's growing so fast. We're currently battling what we think are baby allergies, but he's smiling through all of the coughs and sneezes.

Speaking of smiles... he is smiling all of the time at his mommy and daddy now. I was lucky enough to get a picture of him smiling at Newman last week. I think it's my favorite picture to date. Those smiles are the best thing for us to come home to after a crazy day at work.

Jack went out on the boat for the first time yesterday. We took some friends out on the river and since the weather was cooler and the water was calm we decided to take the little man. He was such a good sport. He slept under an umbrella at the front of the boat most of the trip.

I'm two months old today!

Smiles for daddy

Enjoying the last weeks of summer

Sorry we haven't posted in a while... it's been a busy few weeks filled with family fun! Jack got to meet so many new people! The Landa family came up our way for a beach vacation. We got to enjoy a little beach time and Jack got to meet Aunt Kate, Uncle Geoff, his cousin Emerson, Aunt Emily and Uncle Randy. He also got to spend some more time with Tullie and G. It was a great week!

We also got to spend some time with Aunt Kristy, Uncle Brandon and Mari Cagle and Nate! MC and Nate are practicing for their own little baby boy, so it was fun to see them play with and help take care of Jack. Caz is a lucky little guy to have these two around:)

Jack's Photo Shoot

Last week, our friend Katie's sister was in town and she happens to be starting a photography business in France. She had never done a newborn shoot and wanted pictures for her portfolio and Jack just happened to be a very cute and willing subject. She did such a great job and she captured many of our favorite Jack faces. Here are just a few of our favorite shots. Thanks Amy!

Play date with Parker

Jack had his first play date last week with his friend Parker. Parker's dad works with Newman and his mom is my friend Heather (the one from the delivery room:).). He is 10 1/2 months old and was very interested in the little thing that just laid around all morning. He tried to play with Jack on his ocean mat and then tried again when Jack was laying around on the couch. We are looking forward to Jack being able to really play with Parker and all of the other little friends we have in Jacksonville.

Church, Tummy Time, and Hanging Out with Mom and Dad

Jack had a busy week. The highlight had to be tummy time on his new activity mat. He loves being on his tummy and working out those neck muscles. He was intrigued by the bright colors and sounds his mat made. It was a big hit! This week we also enjoyed going on our first evening walk with the dogs, having dinner with mom's friends, hanging out with dad after work and going to church Sunday morning. It's been a great week!

It was a big week. Jack got his first real bath and celebrated Independence Day and his Mom's birthday. Dad had to go back to work but Jack still gets plenty of man time on the weekend. It's about time Jack gets acquainted with "the shop."
