Jack is great.  He is really happy and smiley and thats it.

Bobby continues to test us at times, but he's coming around to behaving. I think he has realized he has to share top dog billing.  Plus we're dealing with phasing out of the nap - not by choice believe me, it just doesn't work some days.

He took this himself with the webcam

I really thought I'd have more to say. guess not.

This guy

This guy

is great.  But all children should be second children.  He is so laid back. He just goes with the flow because he has to.  I know he's young and it's very early, but he's so easy.  And good thing, because he has no crib, has hand me down everything else, doesn't get special laundry detergent, doesn't get fancy bath soap and a long meticulous bath.  He gets poked and prodded all day long and is just fine with it all.

It was a bit difficult adjusting to how to make the beach work, but it did.  He took long naps in the warm air and we all pitched in watching him nap in the house too.  His horrible acne went away as quickly as it came up (not quick, but suddenly).  He is filling out daily and eating like a champ. I guess he has his brothers metabolism and genes so far, that, and I don't make fatty milk.  (maybe i'll try nursing longer) We go back to the doctors at 2 months.

I'm horrible, but sometimes, before we left, I would walk by him sleeping in the pack and play and see this

Doppelganger (plus facial hair)

which is okay, because first he was this.

Which is really just like our Nicky right?!

But, this other one is a whole chapter in himself right now. He did enjoy accidentally creating this cargo skirt.  He really cracked up.

He does have the legs for it

August Already

Time is flying by and will only get more hectic until we are actually on the plane next Wednesday.  The boys continue to be great.  Bobby is doing really well at camp and gives me and Jack some quiet time in the morning for naps and/or a walk.

Sweet Big Bro

 Bobby always asks to hold him and kiss him and see him, but then runs on his way.  He gets really upset if Jack cries too long.  He also tends to tell us "you have to be quiet" when Jack is sleeping.  Of course, he does it in his loudest possible voice.

Big melon is too heavy

Morning cuddles, sort of

My favorite thing might be when Jack stretches out and his arm is in the air, hand in a fist, Bobby swoops in for "baby knuckles" and gives him a tiny fist bump.  Very cute.

Rhinoceros hair

We are so spoiled by our friends and family.  Everyone sends stuff for both J and B. Colleen send Jack that stool (legs not on yet) and Judi Maher made that adorable cardigan.  Jack also got a full size Lousivlle slugger with his name on it, which made Bobby a good bit jealous.  But for now, it is hiding under the bed until we can hang it up way out of reach.  Bobby got an awesome hobby horse and runs around on it often.  And along with gifts from Kate, that was all just this week. And we got to see our friends from Virginia. We met them at the beach and they had great gifts too.  Remind me to be this generous in the future. Now I've got to get it all in the baby book!

it's a stool

we need this on the coast
