This is his "study face". He likes to watch people and things and just see what is going to happen.

Here are his two teeth. I think they make him look so grown up.

This is one of my favorite looks.

He spent alot of time outside in the summer time, but since we found out about his surgery, I have been afraid of him getting sick, so because of the cold weather, I have kept him indoors. This was a nice day and so Daddy and Jac played in the leaves for a little bit.

This is Jac's cousin Porter :) He is so cute and trying to figure out what is on his head!

He's got such a great smile :)

New Camera

Mmm flowers.

Mmm snowflakes and bouncing. Even better!

Sitting up is great! Even though he looks a little scared ;)

We let him roll around in Nana's living room and she has a January tree... He just wrapped himself up.

Yay!! I am so excited that we got this new camera. Jac is doing so much new stuff, it's so fun. He is now sitting up by himself, only for short periods of time, but he loves it. He also scoots his knees up under himself and rolls over. He will stay on his hands and knees for a little bit if you put him in the position. My mom swears he does "roll it and roll it" from Patty Cake , but I have yet to see it and it doesn't go in his baby book till I have :) He is such a fun baby, and has such a funny personality. The other morning I woke up because he was grabbing my nose. When I opened my eyes, he just grinned.

Well, we have 9 days till his surgery and I am just praying that he doesn't get sick. Jeremy had a cold last week and didn't come near Jac for about 6 days. It was really hard on both of them, but we felt that this was necessary. Jac really loves his daddy.

We had Josh (Jer's bro), Emily and Porter come stay with us for a few nights. It was a lot of fun to see them. It will be fun when Jac can play with his cousins, this surgery is such a good thing.

Food

He likes to do it himself

He's a little off sometimes :)

I love this new stage of Jac's life! He is so funny to watch and i don't know if all other babies are this fickle, but the faces he gives are great. We now found out that he likes carrots, bannanas, and sweat peas is the latest. Not to big on pears and sweat potatoes... but I think i will give them another try seeing as they were the first thing I tried.

Jac got another tooth yesterday! This one seemed to take forever to come up. Jeremy and I are getting a new camera today so I will take some pictures and put them up. Our other camera died about a month ago... it drowned :(

Surgery update

We have a date for Jac's surgery. January 27th 2009. We had to wait 6 weeks from his last vaccinations and now we just get to work on keeping him well. He cannot get sick between now and then or it would mean rescheduling for another 6 weeks AFTER he got well again. We are having to keep him away from his cousins and anyone who even might think they are sick. I think everybody is sick of me asking if they have washed their hands... Please don't be offended :) Thanks for understanding.

Jac's tooth

So Jac got his first tooth yesterday!!!
He was so fussy, I felt bad for the little guy. When I found the tooth, I made this huge deal about it (clapping my hands and loves and kisses) and he thought I was just the funniest thing. I'm a little nervous as he is still nursing... this will be a whole new ballgame. It has just barely broken the surface, but as soon as we can get a picture, I will post it.

Jac's heart

I wanted to let friends and family know that when Jac was 2 months old his doctor heard a murmur and so we got it checked out. We met with a Cardiologist and Jac will be going to Primary Children's for some tests,but it looks like we will need to do surgery. This is why our little guy is having trouble putting on some pounds. We are thankful this was caught and will be happy when its all over.
