We are on a roll

Jack has made some big strides in the past week or so. He is on a roll. He can now roll from tummy to back and back to tummy. He doesn't do it all the time, but he can when he wants to! He is beginning to enjoy tummy time a little more and he is able to pick his head up while laying on his tummy. He has also found his toes. He hasn't stuck them in his mouth yet...but he knows they are there. Although he has known for a while that he has hands, up until recently he hasn't done much with them. Now they are by his face and in his mouth ALL THE TIME! He is constantly sucking his thumb or fingers. He is trying to stick his whole fist in his mouth, but hasn't been successful with that yet. He also enjoys just looking at his fingers and watching them move. Jack is also learning that he a voice. He likes to talk to himself and us, especially when he is in his carseat. I love listening to him and can't wait till the day when I can actually understand what he is trying to say. We have also noticecd that in the past few days, he is starting to reach for things and hold onto them. Finally, he is able to sit in his exersaucer unassisted. He is growing and changing so much...what happened to my little baby?? Oh....and did I mention that he had to get his first hair cut. We had to cut his bangs and side burns a little. What 15 week old needs that?

In other news, I took Jack to the doctors last Wednesday, just to make sure everything was ok. He has had a stuffy nose for a little while now and he wasn't drinking his bottles very well. I was being a perinoid mom and just wanted to make sure he was ok before we left for the weekend. Turns out...he was just fine. The doctor looked at me like I was crazy, but I got the peace of mind of knowing everything was ok. I did find out that he is now 13 lbs 13 ounces! (That is one good thing about going to the doctors...hehe)

We had a great weekend with my family. It was a jammed packed weekend but fun to be with everyone. Kevin and I got to go the Indian's game to see my cousin pitch. I have gone to about 4 or 5 games in hopes of seeing him, however, he has never pitched while I was there. So this was a first and we were in the front row!!! It was awesome. Too bad he wasn't able to pull out a win for the Twins. Jack had a great time. He was much better than we had expected. He went with the flow and enjoyed meeting lots of family! We had a great weekend but it is nice to be back home, however, we are down a family member. Stubbs has left us. After much thought and consideration, we decided to give Stubbs back to the guy I got him from originally 4 years ago. We didn't feel like we were being fair to him now that Jack is here. Its a little quieter around here, but we think it was for the best!
