3 months old!

Its hard to believe our little monkey is 3 months old already! He is growing up so fast! We have noticed a lot of changes in him over the past month. He is more aware of his surroundings and he loves to smile at familiar faces. He also loves standing up....with a little help, of course!

Next week would be my first week back to work. However, instead of returning to work, I will be turning in my computer and pursuing my new career as a stay-at-home mom. I know this will be a big change in my life, but one that I am looking forward to!

Happy 4th of July!

The Johnson's had a busy (and fun) 4th of July weekend! We headed to Coralville Lake on Saturday morning for a day of boating. Unfortunately due to bad weather, we spent the majority of the day inside playing cards and other games. By Saturday evening the rain had stopped so Jay and the other boys were able to take the jetski out for a few hours. We woke up early on Sunday morning for a boat ride. The weather on Sunday morning was beautiful...warm and sunny (the weather we were hoping for on Saturday!) Jack seemed to have a great time on the boat. When the boat was moving, Jack was usually sleeping (I think the noise and vibrations had something to do with it)...but as soon as the boat stopped, he would wake up and was full of smiles!

After our boat ride on Sunday morning, we packed up and headed to Williamsburg for the Healey Family Reunion. Jay and I played a round of golf while Grandpa McCulla spent some quality time with Jack and Avree.

2 months old!

Our little guy is two months old already.....my how time flies!! We had our two month check up on Monday and I am happy to report he is doing great! This was also the first round of his vaccination shots....I am not sure who disliked them more, Jack or his Mom and Dad!

Here are a few recent family pictures....

Bumbo chair

We decided to let Jack try out his bumbo chair for the first time this morning. At first he was not quite sure what to think, but as you can tell from the pictures below, he ended up having a lot of fun!

Jack's newborn pictures

We had professional pictures taken of Jack a few weeks ago. Jack cooperated really well and the pictures turned out great!!

Jack is still doing wonderful! He is more alert and awake during the day and he is starting to smile a little when we talk to him, which we love! Jay is in New York this week for training so Jack and I have the house to ourselves. Grandma Hansch and "Aunt" Katy may stay with us a few days so we look forward to spending time with them.

4 weeks old!

We can hardly believe Jack is 4 weeks old already!! This past month has really flown by. We are slowly starting to establish our routine with the little guy. He is getting up 1-2 times at night, so Mommy and Daddy still feel a little sleep deprived...but we are hanging in there! Overall, he is a very happy and content baby. We feel very blessed and can't imagine life without him!!

This is still what Jack does best!

Tulip Time

We had our first successful family outing with Jack this past Friday. We decided to drive down to Pella to see the family and to let Jack experience his first Tulip Time! As you can tell from the pictures, he had great time...I think he spent most of the day sleeping!
