Jack's Best Friend

A little behind but trying to catch up on things during nap time...We had fun watching the Auburn Georgia game at Amy's. Except for the loss. That was sad. Congratulations Brandon. Here are some pictures from the game. They will be perfect framed in Aidan and Jack's future dorm room (at Auburn) because what 18/19 year old kid doesn't want a picture of himself as an infant with his mom in his dorm room. 

Aidan, why are you mad??

 Jack why are you look at your feet??

 Jack's first time on a swing. He didn't have his jacket on but don't worry we put it on him later. Although it wasn't that cold outside.

 I think Aidan may be taunting Jack...look how high I can go!!

 Love this kid...

 Sliding!

 It looked so fun I had to try it myself :)

Thanksgiving

We headed back to Wingo for Thanksgiving. All of Joe's siblings were in town we had a huge group. I don't know how Mama Judy cooks for everybody but everything was delicious! We arrived Thursday afternoon in time to stuff our bellies full of turkey, dressing, corn, mashed potatoes etc. Yum!! We had a great time staying with Joe's brother Jamie, his wife and 6 kids. Bethany was very excited about having both Jack AND Newman at her house. We brought a lot of excitement. Newman loved Juliet. I think he misses her so we'll have to bring him back. Friday we headed back over to Mama Judy and Papa Jerrol to see everyone. There was volleyball and Jack and I visited the cows. Saturday I watched the Iron Bowl. That was sad but War Eagle anyway :) We decided to head back home Saturday night but hopefully we can come back soon!

 Mama Judy, Papa Jerrol and most of the grandkids and great grandkids.

 Fun at Jamie's house. Jeron was undefeated in the basketball game I think. Newman was Joe's coach.

 Newman had a great time watching the cows.

 So did Mommy and Jack.

 Elyssa did a great job holding Jack.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving as well!

Three Months Old

I'm slacking off a little on the monthly posts. Jack is doing great. He has become quite the talker in the past few weeks. I posted a couple of videos below from the other night. He is still growing. He is around 16 pounds and is already in 6 months (and a couple of 9 month) clothes. He seems to be very long. We are going back to the doctor for a well baby check up at 4 months so I'll post his measurements and percentiles then! He is smiling ALL THE TIME now and if you make him laugh while you are holding him he will smile and bury his head into your shoulder. It's really cute. We also love the tiny curl on the left side of his head that sticks out. There is no need to try to slick it down it will just pop right back up. He has also rolled over a few times. Although I think he has discovered it doesn't get you anywhere because he doesn't seem that interested in doing it anymore. But he loves to sit in his Bumbo and seems to be trying to prop himself up. I think he will be so happy once he figures out how to balance and sit up by himself. I think I will definitely be getting another white onesie for the 4 months pictures...this one is a little, ok a lot, tight!

Meeting Daddy's Family and The Barn Party

We made the trip to Wingo this past weekend for the annual Barn Party. We have been really excited for Jack to meet the rest of the Summerville family. He got to meet his cousin Ava right after we got there. She is about 3 months older than Jack but they are pretty much the same size! Love her sweet face.

After hanging out with Ava for a little bit it was time for the barn party hay ride! We got Jack all bundled up and climbed up on the trailer. Papa Jerrol drove us all around the farm so we could see all of the cows. Last year we stopped to feed the bigger cows but no one was that brave this year.

Jack looks a little worried while the cute little butterfly behind us looks ready to go!

After the hay ride it was time to cook our hotdogs over the fire. Bethany, the cutest orange M&M ever, loves baby Jack. 

Daddy and Jack hanging out while the games were getting started.

The hat game is my favorite. It's basically musical chairs but with funny hats. If you are ever in Wingo for the barn party I would highly recommend sitting next to Jill. For some reason she always ends up with two hats one for her and one for me :)

Sweet Brady giving Jack a kiss.

We got to see everyone for a little bit on Sunday before heading back.

We can't wait for the Barn Party next year!

Two Months Old!

Another month down! Jack is now two months old! He is doing so well and seems to be a really happy baby. He isn't sleeping through the night regularly but is getting very close. At his two month appointment he measured 13 pounds 9 ounces and 24 inches long which puts him in the 90th percentile in both categories. 

He is getting much better at holding his head up during tummy time!

And he loves his Auburn Tigers!

He has been cooing and smiling so much more in the past few weeks. He has also discovered his fingers...specifically this thumb which he has been sucking on a lot lately. Newman seems to still be getting nervous when Jack cries but he still loves Jack :) It's hard to believe how fast he is growing!

Letter to Maybelle

Dear May,
  Welcome to the world! I am so excited that you are here! I can't wait to meet you and go to prom together... then go to Auburn together... and then get married. My mommy told me that we were going to get married. I'm not sure what that means yet. But it sounds great. I have included a picture of me with the blanket your mommy made me. Feel free to print it and frame it in your room and tell those Brooklyn boys you are off the market.
Love,
Jack

Meeting Mommy's Family

We decided late last week that we would head down to Florence to help Mimi celebrate her birthday. Happy Birthday Mimi!!

Jack was  really excited about meeting the rest of the family! I love you Aunt Katie...even though my face says something different :)

Meeting the Cochrans!

Rosemary wanted Jack to sit in "their" lap!

Charlie loves Baby Jack (By the way, it seems like Charlie was this little a week ago!)

Rosemary is getting a better look at Jack. 

Parko got stuck with the napping baby.

We had a great time at home! We can't wait to get back.
