5 months old

Our little boy is five months old today!! He sure is growing up fast!! He has had a very busy month....learning lots of new things. He loves playing with his toys and watching the dogs. He is also very close to sitting on his own! He is such a happy baby and he always has a smile on his face. Daddy can really getting him laughing out loud and his laugh is very contagious! As you can tell, we are having so much fun with him!

Jack's new cousin

We thought it would be fun to take a few pictures of Jack with his new cousin Tyler. Tyler Neil Johnson was born on September 7, 2009 and he is very cute!! Its hard to believe Jack was ever that little!!

We also tried to get a few pictures with cousin Ava...but she didn't like that idea too much!

Baptism

Jack was baptized on Sunday morning at the Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines. The baptism was performed after the 11:00am church service and then we all headed to Grandma and Grandpa Johnson's for lunch. Thank you to all our friends and family who joined us and helped to make it a great day!

Jack was smiling the entire time he was being baptized.....it was too cute!

He was mesmerized by the candle and kept trying to grab it.

4 months

Jack is 4 months old today!! He has been changing and growing up so much in the past month. He is a very happy baby and he loves to smile. He has also become a little chatter-box....always telling us stories with his serious face. His favorite toy this month is the exersaucer...mostly because he still loves to stand! And just in the past few days he has learned how to roll over!

Iowa State Fair!

Last Thursday, the Johnson family (and a few friends) went to the Iowa State Fair. As you can tell from the pictures, we all had a great time! Jack was such a trooper....I don't think he cried until the very end of the day when we were loading him up in the car. (Maybe he enjoyed the fair so much he was sad to be leaving!) Katy and I managed to eat more than our share of all the wonderful food the fair has to offer. Unfortunately for Jack, he will have to wait another year or two to experience that aspect of the fair!

Swimming

The entire McCulla family spent the past weekend in Grinnell while celebrating my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. We decided to take Jack swimming for the first time in the hotel pool. He seemed to enjoy the water for the most part....he probably thought it was like a giant bathtub! He just laid back and relaxed in his baby float...similar to the way he relaxes in his bathtub at home. Jay was excited to get him in the pool....I think he is hoping for a future swimmer to carry on the Johnson legacy!
