November 19th - Baccus family visit

After being sick for a couple of weeks, Nana and Papa were finally able to come visit. Jack was so happy to see them again and Charlie was wide awake for the entire visit.

Jack loved reading books with Papa and chasing him around the house yelling "Boo!" around every corner.

Everyone just loves the way Jack says "Melanie".

Right before everyone had to go, Jack stole Papa's hat. Eventually he put it back on Papa's head.

November 12th - Sunbathing

Charlie is a bit jaundiced, so he gets tanned near an open window every day.

November 11th - New hoodie

Jack got a new cute hoodie from Grandma. I pulled his hood up and his ears popped out like Yoda.

When the hood was pulled down, Jack hair flew out.

Jack is having a bit of a hard time with his new sibling. He seems to accept the fact that Charlie needs a lot of care from his Mama, but sometimes he gets jealous when Daddy or Grandma holds Charlie. He says, "Mama do it! Mama do it!" Jack has his share of tender moments with Charlie, though. We share a good laugh at the funny noises Charlie makes. He likes pointing out Charlie's little facial features - nose, eyes, and mouth. He keeps saying that Charlie is cute. He says that over and over, which is so endearing. Jack is pretty cute himself. He tried on Daddy's shoes this morning and looked so adorable.

November 4th - Breaking out of jail

After Dr. Quillin's final check of Charlie, we were finally able to escape out of the hospital.

October 31st - Happy Halloween

October 28th - The bassinet

Grandma brought down the bassinet that was used for all of her children. She thought it would be fun if Jack helped Daddy put it together for the baby. It all started out well. Jack liked playing around the pieces and then pretending that he was using a screwdriver to put the pieces together. Then he enjoyed laying on the mattress with his baby. He even patted the baby's back like his teachers pat his back at naptime. But when all was said and done and the bassinet was put together, Jack was NOT happy that it wasn't for him.
