All smiles!

I had to show all of you the beautiful quilt that my Aunt Karen made for Jack. She has made a quilt for each of the kids now and I love them. This one is a little different than the first two. The quilt she made for Garrett has become Garrett's favorite blanket. He always has to sleep with it and carries it all over the house. Now I look forward to getting one each time I have a baby. I just love them and thank you so much Aunt Karen!

An update on Jack's rash. I called the nurse on Thurs and the doctor said it was just newborn rash and to keep an eye on it. He should grow out of it. It does look a little better. Sometimes it looks a little flaky. And sometimes he's pretty red and sometimes he's not. So we'll just wait and see what happens. Also, Jack has started to smile this last week. He officially smiled for me on Tues but I did not get a video or picture until yesterday. I've been getting him to smile more all the time. I love his smile!

I tried uploading the video of him smiling but it wouldn't work. So I'll have to upload it to YouTube and add it to our video strip later.

Rash

Okay, I need some help on what I should (or shouldn't) do. Jack has had this rash the last couple of days and it is pretty much all over his head. Is it just something that's happening because he's growing and that it will clear out soon on its own or should I have the pediatrician look at him? I thought I'd ask everyone first in case you've had the same thing with your kids, before I go spending money needlessly on the doctor. Just before I took this picture I had cleaned his head over the sink and scrubbed it up pretty good in case it might be cradle cap or something like it. It's even on his ears too.

Tag!

So I was tagged and thought this one would be fun to do.
Rules:

Go to your picture files. Open the 6th folder, and the 6th picture. Post it on your blog and tell the story of the picture. Then tag 6 people. Here is MY picture!

There's not much story to this picture. This is my daughter Nicole and myself. I think we were getting ready for bed and just wanted to get some pictures. She was 7 months old then! I can't believe how fast time flies.

I tag: Mom (Laverne), Celeste, Michelle, Tamara, Heather, Princess (It's hard to only pick 6 so whoever else wants to!)

Happy 1st month!

I can hardly believe that Jack is 1 month old today already! I took this picture this morning while he was rocking in his swing just as content as can be. I am sure enjoying him.

It has been a long time since I felt like making cookies and I've been wanting to for awhile. So I finally decided to just do it on Monday and the kids had fun helping. Nikki even got to scoop most of the cookies onto the pans all by herself. She is getting so big!
