Day at the Museum

        Chad, Jack, and I took a day trip to the Art Institute in Chicago and wow was I impressed! The museum has so many world known works that I really did not expect to see there. It was Jacks first trip to a museum and he did so good! Only a few playful screams and funny noises that made people stare, but overall a wonderful day.

Fun on the Floor

Mommy and Me

As many of you know, we are in Chicago this summer for Chad's job. Before I had Jack I knew what I was getting myself into being "a single mom" for the most part. Chad has long work hours and usually doesn't get home until almost midnight most nights. I can't possibly think of a more happy way to spend my day than with Jack. He is so fun. And so irresistibly lovable. But i'd like to share some things about doing it on your own so I can look back and remember (for next year of course). 

(1). Its amazing what you can do with one hand.

(2).  Plan, plan, and plan some more.

(3). Don't start to make dinner until you know your baby is happy (a burnt chicken breast is no fun).

(4). Bathtime is the cure to all unhappiness. 

(5). Savor the moment, it all goes too fast. 

Catching Up

     For those of you who don't know we have a new addition to our family.

Meet Jack Taylor.

Jack was born February 10, 2010.

He is the most wonderful baby boy any parents could ever ask for. 

Here are some of my favorite things about Jack:

- He has the the most beautiful hair that stays perfectly parted and in place all day.

-He LOVES to snuggle mom and dad.

-He has slept through the night since about 9 weeks.

-He sleeps with his bum high in the air.

-He has the cutest nose and cheeks that are kissed all day long. 

-He smiles every chance he gets. 

-He is getting daddy's long eyelashes.

-His chubby little tummy.

-He is the baby boy I always wanted.
