Since we were so close to my brother’s family for Thanksgiving this year, Jim’s family graciously invited them to spend the holiday with us. Aunt Donna cooked up a storm and served dinner for 18 people! We got some nice family pictures while we were waiting for our tummies to make room for dessert. ThisContinue reading “Thanksgiving”

We spent the last nine days in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with Jim’s dad’s family. It was so much fun! We ate ribs at Dreamland and breakfast at the Waysider, walked around the University of Alabama campus, and spent a lot of time watching football. JT’s Great Grandma Keene was sure happy to finally meet him! JT’sContinue reading “The Big Trip”

JT turned four months old this week. He is starting to blow raspberries, and once laughed so hard that he snorted. He can grab toys, burp cloths, and other things with his hands and put them in his mouth. His 4-month check up at the pediatrician’s office is on Monday, so we’ll have a heightContinue reading “Four Months Old”

Grandma Keene found a shirt in a box of Jim’s old clothes that was perfect for JT to wear this Saturday for watching football. He looks so handsome in crimson! We think it’s a little odd that Jim had a shirt that has “team of 20??” when he was little, since he would have beenContinue reading “Team Bama in 2026”

This Friday, JT got a hair cut. The top hair on his head was a few inches long and everything else was short, making him look a little funny. Jim had been saying we needed to cut it, so I finally conceded. JT was a good sport about it until the very end (below right).Continue reading “A Haircut and Fall Pictures”

This morning Jim worked an early shift, so I didn’t get up with him to make breakfast (I don’t cook before 6 AM). I didn’t set an alarm, because I figured JT would wake me up around 7:30 like usual. Instead of waking up to his gurgles through the monitor, I woke up to SliderContinue reading “Sleepy Head”

JT turned three months old this week. He got the other half of his two-month shots and got weighed at his appointment. He weighs 14 pounds and is 25 1/2 inches long. We took some pictures at home to celebrate. My son has become very talkative. He makes noises and looks right at me withContinue reading “Three Months Old”

I’m not sure what happened, but I have a whole stock pile of completely adorable pictures… so there are lots of them this week! We’ve been busy. A week and a half ago, we took our last sunny boat ride of the fall. Somehow those pictures didn’t make it on here. JT enjoyed laying onContinue reading “Pictures Galore”

This week I went back to work. I only work Thursdays and Fridays, so it’s not quite the commitment as full time. Also, JT gets to stay home, snuggled in bed, when I leave for work. He wakes up to a full day of fun with either Dad or Grandma, so it’s a pretty sweetContinue reading “Back to Work”

This week JT has been extra hungry… that can mean a growth spurt, a big milestone, or both. It turns out, this week JT figured out that he has hands and started looking at them and using them to suck on… AND he figured out how to roll from his tummy to his back. Fortunately,Continue reading
