Here is Jack at 13 weeks old…
(April 26, 2012)

It’s hard to believe that our baby has blessed us with his presence for 3 months! I know people say the kiddos grow up fast and it’s true.

Jack-boy attended his first birthday party this week. It was for an older woman, too – she turned 1. We enjoyed ourselves in the park and though it was overcast, I figured out that Jack needs a sun hat. He got the slightest sunburn. It was really more like a little sun kiss, but he’s so fair I will not take him out without his sun hat again. Here we are in the park together…

Another first was Jack’s first airplane! He was amazing going and returning with barely a peep…

While the flights with Jack were fun, the circumstances for our travel were not. We went North to attend my Uncle Paul’s memorial – he will be very sorely missed. The upside to our trip was that Jack finally got to meet his Uncle Robert. Hooray!

This week we’ve been enjoying Jack’s delightful dancing. He likes to chill on his activity mat and dance to the tunes on Pandora, especially the disco station. Click right here to see him getting his boogie on to Michael Jackson. (We think it’s cute).

Some things about Jack at 13 weeks:
– Jack is still only sleeping a four hour stretch at night. I’m so ready for at least six. Come on, Jack!
– Jack does not appreciate tummy time at all. He lasts about 1 minute max. Any ideas besides the “interest him with a toy”? He doesn’t care about toys much right now and we can’t seem to coax him with a mirror or our faces. He does like to fly around the house on his tummy via my arm, but don’t put him on the boppy, or the floor.
– Jack loves music! No surprise since he listened to so much of it in the womb during my classes.

We think Jack has soulful eyes when he’s in a serious mood…

His eyes are also starting to change from the newborn blue. We think they will be end up being hazel, like mine.
