Rolling Over Again

After rolling for the first time a month or two ago (I probably should have written that date down somewhere--oh well) I was pretty sure Jack wasn't going to be interested in rolling back over to his front. He seemed content just to lay there and stare at the ceiling while kicking his little legs like crazy. We were in Florence for Christmas and my mom and I headed to Target on Christmas Eve to get a couple of things. Before I left, I jokingly told Jack not to roll over back to front while I was gone. I left my phone at the house and as soon I got back Joe shoved it in my face and said "I noticed you have a text message." I looked at my phone and there it was...a video of him rolling back to his front. The video also captures Joe, my dad and my brother's reactions to it. Priceless :)

William also got a good video of him trying so hard to do it. Joe says that he must just be a better coach than me since he did it so quickly. :) Who knew you could be so proud of someone rolling over!

I'll be back with more Christmas pictures as soon as I get them loaded to the computer!

Opryland

We took Jack on his first trip to see the lights at Opryland last weekend. Despite the look on his face in the first picture, he really enjoyed it. He was practically bending over backwards to see the lights above his head. He loved all of the lights and the plants and the indoor waterfalls :) We even saw a celebrity! Ok...it was Pussy in Boots, I think that almost counts. We didn't stick around long enough to see the others. I think someone from Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda were there as well :) We roamed around the different sections of the hotel, got some gelato and headed home before someone started screaming. Another fun Christmas at Opryland. Maybe in a couple of years we'll hit the Ice! setup. This year was Madagascar. I think the last few years have been the Grinch and Peanuts. Maybe when Jack is old enough. See you next year, Opryland!

Rolling over and bath time

I just wanted to share a couple of fun videos from the past few weeks. Ignore my annoying voice :)

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!
