Catch-up

It has been so long since I posted last! We have been busy! I started back to work full time! We are working out the kinks in babysitting and the days that Johnny has off! Johnny is such a good dad and is doing so wonderful with Jack!




Johnny and I celebrated two years of being married this past week! I can't believe it has been that long! We have bought a house, had a baby, started a new job, bought a new car, and many other things that would probably be a little overwhelming if I stopped to think about how fast we did it all. I love Johnny and I am so overjoyed that I have been able to share this journey with him!

I did get to play a very good joke on him last night though. I found out yesterday that My brother Matt and his wife Traci are expecting a baby in March!!!!!!! Nathan will be four in June so we are all very excited for number two! Anyway, Matt pulled me aside and he set up this fun little prank. While my cousin held my five month old baby, I gathered our family together and said, "I have an announcement to make, Johnny pay attention." Johnny looked terrified! "There is going to be a new baby in the family!" I couldn't look at Matt because he was on the verge of bursting out laughing. Johnny looked at me and just said, "Huh?" I paused and looked at people's shocked faces. I then added, "Matt and Traci are expecting a baby!" Everyone took deep breaths and started congratulating Matt and Traci. Johnny just kept saying, "Not cool! Not cool!" I went to talk to him and he wouldn't let me touch him and was a little shaken by the whole thing! I thought it was a riot! But we are so excited for Matt and Traci and Nathan! We are all hoping for a girl!

New things that Jack is doing:
  • He loves solid food!
  • He rolls over regularly!
  • He cut two teeth the beginning of August on the same day!
  • He grabs everything and puts it in his mouth!
  • He can sit up on his own for short periods of time!
  • He will scoot (short distances) to something if he really wants it!
  • He loves grabbing nose and poking eyes!
  • He loves books!

I am just so glad to have that little guy around! He is a real joy in my life!

What a funny prank! That is so hillarious!! I think Luther would be IRATE if I did the same to him! I love hearing about your little one especially since he is 3 days older than mine. I can't beleive he's cut teeth already. Alexis is pretty close but nothing yet! Congrats on your 2 year anniversary.

What fun! I would love to do something like that to Ryan. I can never ever surprise him!

How are things going while working? I can't imagine trying to balance all the things you're involved in! Babies grow so fast. I can't believe that Jack is eating solids and sitting up. Wow!

I know that Johnny was not amused but I think it was a great joke! Congratulations to Matt and Traci.

I cannot believe how quickly those little ones change.
