First Christmas Part 1

On Christmas Eve we spent the evening with Mike's parents for dinner and a little gift opening for the Jackman.

Here's Jack on Christmas morning opening up gifts after having breakfast made by Daddy.

*7 Months Old*

6 months came and went and now he's 7 months holy crap!! Its crazy how fast he is changing. Day by day its something new that he can do or has discovered. One day he has no idea how to hold his bottle and the next day he realized that he can do it. One day he is sitting up the next day he is pulling himself up to standing!!

Such a big guy!


He sticks his tongue out all the time!

Jack believe it or not is in the 75th percentile overall weighing 20lbs and almost 28inches long.

Checkin' out his cool name!

Auntie Bella's 9th Birthday Party

So my sister told me that she was asking Bella what she wanted for her birthday and what kind of party and all Miss Bella would tell her is "All I want is Jack" So for Bellas birthday we made sure we were able to spend the day with her and Jack even spent the night so Bella could get some good quality time with him.

Bella's favorite outfit...diaper only!

Mimi and her grandbabies

Big G-Pa and Jackman hanging out

Christmas Spirit

Here's just a few pictures of Jack getting into the Christmas spirit!!

going to town on that thumb!

Seeing Santa

I had forgotten about seeing Santa until one of my coworkers asked me if Jack saw Santa yet this year...oops! So we did and as you can see Mike was really excited about it!! We went to the Santa House downtown Naperville and waited about an hour and a half to see Santa...eventhough it was a long wait Jack did awesome.
Once we got to see Santa we could take all the pictures we wanted but Jack didn't really know what to make of it. I took probably 75 pictures and they all have the same expression on his face like what am I doing here and who is this guy?

**Winter Wedding**

This past weekend Mike and I went to Milwaukee for one of my best friends wedding, Mrs. Anni Schleicher! As you can see the bride looked beautiful! Everything was perfect...plus it snowed! Its always fun catching up with friends. Hopefully I can find my camera and post more picture!

Jack's First Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving like we always do at Yia Yia and Poppy's house and the Kleronomos crew was in full force. Jack didn't have turkey but did enjoy some sweet potatoes and peas but I'm sure next year he will have plenty of turkey!

FEED ME!

This is what happens when Daddy feeds me!;)

Me and the little turkey!

*6 Months Old*

Here we are again another month old and many milestones accomplished for the Jackman. One big milestone being that he's been crawling everywhere for the last month! He is also sitting up unsupported, he does fall back eventually but very gracefully!

Jack is not just a bottle man anymore he has moved up to eating real food. And its not just any baby food he's eating Gourmet baby food made by his momma! Yes, you heard correct Made be ME!!! But maybe I went too far as to say gourmet!;)

So far Jack has had sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, apples, pears, and bananas. He loves everything except green beans which is pretty funny to watch. Carrots are next on the list to try so we will see if he likes them or not.

No teeth yet but I swear its gotta be soon because he naws on his hands like crazy. And yes he still sucks his thumb and I still think its the cutest thing!



Just chillin'




Okay Dad, help me get out of here before mom goes crazy with pictures!
