Maddie talks with Jack as we get ready to depart our Knoxville hotel.

07.30.15 – Take me to church

Made a pit stop in Willow Springs, Mo., and found a church with a cool little playground for the kids to play on. They even had a swing for Jack and, most importantly, bathrooms!

07.29.15 – Let's get this show on the road!

Next stop: Virginia Beach! Well, after stops in Springfield and Knoxville.

Two grandmas!

07.23.15 – How do you really feel?

We had a follow-up PT appointment today over concerns that he might be developing torticolis, which he's not. We need to keep working on some stretching and tummy time, which he hates. Here, he goes happy to pissed in 15 seconds. Seriously, 15 seconds between photos. This is what he really thinks of tummy time.

07.22.15 – Where's your smile?

Tried capturing Jack's Million Dollar Smile tonight, but couldn't even get the $29.95 As Seen on TV smile.

07.21.15 – Blankets

Our friend, Susan, has made a special blanket for each of the kids. Today she surprised us with one for Jack, which has a blue, gray, and orange ocean theme, which matches his Snuggly Turtle and (someday) his nursery perfectly! Thanks, Susan!

07.20.15 – Snuggle time with Grandma

Just go ahead and try to pry that baby out of Grandma Shepherd's arms. I dare ya.

Harley is becoming more accepting of Jack. Tonight she decided to lay next to him on the couch and touch his head with her butt.

07.18.15 – Backyard Shiny Box

Jack sits with our friend, Danea, during an backyard movie night. Of course, Jack didn't actually stick around for the movie. It started well past his bedtime.

Jack has discovered he has feet! How cool is that?!!

Beating the heat at the NewMarket fountains.

07.13.15 – Sound Sleeper

Not to brag, but this is what a baby sleeping 10 hours a night looks like.

The weight of his noggin pulls him over every time.

07.08.15 – Reading with Maddie

Maddie helps Jack feel the different textures

in a Baby Einstein book before bed.

07.07.15 – Mail Man

Jack helped Mom carry in the mail.
He seemed rather indifferent, which is
better than disgruntled, I guess.

07.06.15 – Will he wake up?

Jack fell asleep on the couch tonight earlier than his normal bed time. We left him there for awhile, thinking he might wake up for one more feeding. But, at about 9:30, we carried him up to bed, where he slept the rest of the night.

07.05.15 – Kids' Day

Jack celebrated his first Kids' Day by taking a stroll around the lake while the other kids rode their new scooters.
