Brothers are Best Buddies

Here are a few pictures from this week! Jack is getting so much bigger and stronger. He's starting to like sitting in our laps (with support of course!) Jack's also liking using his boppy pillow for his tummy time. It's really helping him lift up his head and his upper body better!

Yesterday, Andy went on his first field trip for school. He got to go to the Building For Kids - a children's museum. He really enjoyed himself - especially driving the child's size crane and fire truck! However, with all of the excitement of the field trip, he only got a half hour nap! He was resting on the couch a little bit yesterday evening before we had to leave for Chris's softball game.
Once Andy saw Jack on the new pillow that I brought downstairs, he was ready for action and wanted to play with Jack. People always ask us how Andy is doing with Jack, whether he is having any trouble adjusting. And the honest answer is that he has been a perfect big brother!! He has not shown any jealousy at all. All he wants to do is help me with Jack, make Jack happy, play toys with Jack, and give Jack hugs and kisses. We are SO lucky!! Andy often says, "Jack, you're a great brother." I think that they are going to be so close growing up - it's going to be so neat to see.
A kiss for Jack...

This morning, Jack wanted to show off his outfit and how much bigger he's getting!
His expression shows that he's tolerating my photo shoot, but not for long!! He's tired and ready for his first nap of the day!
Last night's softball game was fun. Andy played at the park for an hour - mainly using the digger and the slides. There were lots of older kids at the park, but Andy doesn't back down and just gets right in the to use the equipment. Andy also got to run around the bases with his daddy at the end of the game which he had lots of fun doing! The only downside is that I forgot mosquito repellent and they were out in full force! I managed to swat off any that landed on Jack, but Andy had a few direct hits :( They don't seem to be itching too bad, so hopefully they'll go away quickly!
