Two Months Old

Addison is two months old today. Wow, time sure flies. Hard to believe that I've been a big brother for two months already. I think I'm pretty good at it. I love her lots, and sometimes, she smiles at me!

Mommy was just looking through pictures and found this one of me when I was two months old. I'm in the same swing.
And here is one of me smiling at the same age. Same nose, same eyes, I think, but I appear to have been a bigger eater. NICE CHEEKS!!

Big Hike

Last Saturday, we went for a hike in Leelanau State Park. I had been here before, but this time, I got to hike by myself!

Mommy carried Addison in the snugli, but I walked....for two whole miles. It was so fun.

I followed Dakota into the trees, I explored sticks and logs and rocks. It was so pretty. We had a really good time.


At the very end, I started to get really tired. So I sat down for a little rest.

Then I sat some more.

Then I just decided to take a little nap in the middle of the trail.

Fortunately, daddy was there, so I got a ride back to the car.

Big Boy Bed

For the past few weeks, I have been crawling out of my crib... A LOT!! I'm very good at it, and when I was ready for bed, I'd often crawl right back in. But mommy and daddy decided it was time to change my crib into a toddler bed.

On Tuesday, mommy got my bed all made up. After my bath, I discovered it!! Wow! I got tucked in and got all cozy, but then hopped right out to explore. This went on for several hours. I was just too excited to go to sleep.

I kept crawling in myself and getting under the covers, but then I'd jump back out. So fun!

I finally went to sleep and slept great! And then last night, I fell asleep a little earlier. Each night is a little better. By the way, mommy was very sad to take my crib apart. Even though daddy pointed out that she has a new baby, it's just not the same..... I'll always be her first baby.

Before Addison

Mommy has been organizing pictures on the computer, and she realized that these had never been put on the blog.

The day before Addison was born, July 29th, mommy and daddy and I had one last day of "Just Jack". We didn't know it was the last day, but it was pretty special.

Having a sister is pretty special, too, and I can't say I really mind not having my mommy and daddy to myself....life is still pretty good.

Isn't my sister cute?

Funny Mommy, Nice Ems

Papa Jon

Papa Jon visited last weekend on his way up to the cottage. It was fun to see him. I hadn't seen him since Easter, but I remembered him. I gave him a big hug around his very long legs.

Snugli

Mommy is carrying Addison in the same snugli that Ems carried mommy in. Wow! Addison likes it. It's very cozy.
