Jack 8 Months!!
Jack,
Baby Jack as we have taken to calling you, mostly for your older brother's benefit at first, and now it's stuck. We'll stop by your first birthday, I promise!
What can I say about you that I haven't been saying? You smile and laugh and it just tickles my heart. Sometimes, after Sam goes to bed we have special time before bed, and sometimes before Sam wakes it's just you and me. I cherish those quiet smiles and little giggles. Your personality is shining through in those moments. I admit, it can be a little hard with the "big" personalities in our house; but I am confident that you will have your little niche.
Now you can sit, crawl, pull up and are starting to cruise! You are more mobile than your older brother was at this time, but perhaps it's because you just can't wait until you can keep up with him. Your are already showing how you can get into his things and I see referring in my future :p
We started food about a month and a half with you, right at 6 months, but it became clear you want nothing to do with being fed. So I cook soft veggies, fruit, and egg yolks and you feed yourself. Messy? Yes. But it's actually been nice to let you do it. I hope your teeth continue to come in nice and easy and fast! You only have 2, but they came in so fast. No one really even could tell you were teething!
I'll close this letter to you with just how happy you make your Dad and I. Sam is even coming around as well. He loves to be a good big brother and help me to take care of you. I can tell that for any problems between you two will be worked out as soon as you can play more independently
together. I am so very happy you have come into our world.
We love you "Baby" Jack!

Jack 5 Months!!
Baby Jack. How's it make sense that you've only been with us for 5 months? It both makes no sense and all the sense in the world. You are definitely a key part of our family and I can't wait to see how you add to our family when you can actually talk as well.
Your days are filled with smiles and laughter. You are still one of the most easy going babies I have ever been around. You did have a slightly fussy week this past week; but it truly was nothing. You wanted to nurse more than usual; and with your big brother being a bit more needy these days; I've had my hands full. On a good week I wouldn't have even noticed I bet.
You are able to roll both ways now,and from your tummy to your back. I had to take your chair down off the trunk b/c a couple times you gave me a scare wanting to launch yourself right out of the chair. That posses a whole other bottle of stress b/c your older brother; while he loves you, still hasn't quite mastered gentle just yet. He is also still a bit frustrated with certain things as well. It's not his fault, it's a lot of timing and fluid in his ears is making it hard for him.
But in the same sense, I am confident that we will round a corner soon with all issues becoming a thing of the past and we'll be enjoying spring in no time.
I am really fantasizing about spring and summer and all the fun stuff we can do with you two boys. It's going to be a lot of fun and I just can't wait to see you two grow up and become the best of friends I know you are going to be.
Keep on smiling Baby Jack; know you make me smile each and every day.
I love you.
