Five Months

Are we really already closing in on a half-year old? I cannot believe this! Time is going by so quickly. Life is so busy, making it fly by even faster.

Jack, you have developed such a little personality. You "talk" all the time. You are such a happy baby. I think you're one of the happiest, smiliest babies I've ever known! Most of the time you are all smiles and giggles. You have the sweetest, most darling toothless smile. I can just look at you and you light up. I love coming home to your snuggles. You get quite mad if I don't give you full attention the minute I come in the door.

You've gotten to be such a chunky monkey. You fit comfortably in 9 months clothes. Your rolls are so cute! You started losing your hair this month. It had a good run. What gorgeous, dark hair you had. Now it's thinning on the top and sides. I wonder how it will grow back? Will you have blonde curls like sissy?

You had your first taste of solid foods this month. During the very first feeding, you could not get enough. You kept grabbing my hand, trying to get the spoon to your mouth quicker!

You started completely rolling over this month, front to back and back to front. You use it as your mode of transportation, especially in your crib. It's like you're doing laps in there!

You also started playing in your exersaucer! You love it and have already figured out how to spin yourself around to play with each of the little toys on the exersaucer.

You adore your sister. Whenever she hugs and kisses you, you close your eyes and snuggle in. I am still amazed at the relationship you two have. In five short months, you have already developed such a bond. Your dad and I hope and pray that you will continue this strong bond throughout your lives.

Jack, we are so blessed by you. We are so thankful that God has graced us with a sweet little boy. You complete our little family. We love you.

4 Months!

Well, I'm a little late on this post as in ten short days you'll be 5 months, but here goes.





Jack Crane! You've got to be the smiliest little guy I've ever met! I think you're making up for the first two months! You enjoy life. Eyes wide open - looking at everything, especially Sissy. It doesn't take much to get you giggling and smiling. We just love it (and you)!


Month 4 was a good month for us - you finally started sleeping through the night. This was a long awaited achievement for you, especially with me being back to work. You started napping a little more consistently too, which helps daddy out a lot during the week. You laughed, really laughed, for the first time this month. We didn't get it on video because it was at the doctor's office. We haven't been able to recreate the laugh exactly since, but we'll keep trying!


We celebrated your first Easter this month. I will have to say, you looked absolutely dashing in your outfit, even if your hat was a little small.



You still absolutely adore your big sister. You think she has just hung the moon. We have a good number of videos of you just watching her run back and forth in the living room as if you're watching a tennis match. Any time you can be near her or watching her, you are a happy little guy.

You have found your reflection in the mirror - well you don't know it's you - but you really enjoy looking at your reflection. You have smile wars with yourself. It's adorable.

Jack, you are such a joy to be around. So snuggly. So sweet. We are so thankful to be so blessed to have you in our lives.
