Jack's new room!!!

This is Jack's old room, my closet, lol when we first found out we were having a baby we thought this would be perfect BUT.......the closet is between my bedroom and bathroom so after he goes to bed I can't go to the back of the house cause i don't want to wake him up. The big problem with this situation is I can't take late night baths, which I LoVe! So now that my mom is gone I did some rearranging

That is my bedroom door...see how close!
His changing table and pack and play used to be in my room also so I am so glad to have my space back to myself :)
I moved Jack's stuff to the guest bedroom. It is a little crowded but he is a baby and won't know the difference

My closet is mine again too :-)

Some New Things

Jack has started blowing bubbles nonstop his chin is ALWAYS covered in slobber lolol

I love how Jack has tons of toys but this is his fav today. Last week it was a box and a piece of ribbon, pink ribbon, his daddy would love that! lol

This is his new smile and it cracks me up. lol he just looks at you with that mouth wide open so excited.

I have been getting a lot of flack from people because I still sponge bath Jack. My neighbor laughs and says i'm going to be sponge bathing him when he is 12. Well, I'm proud to announce that the last two baths have been in the tub. He doesn't cry but the first time he just kept looking at me like what is this mom lol but last night he actually laughed a bit.

I'm not so sure about this mom

I think Jack may be ADD like his mother! lol

Two years ago today I married a man, who in a very short time, stole my heart and made me feel like I worth loving again! We have grown to be best friends and I'm looking forward to spending all eternity with him. Even though we are celebrating our anniversary miles apart, and out of these 24 months we have only been together 11 of them, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you babe!

Jack's big accomplishment!!!

This month Jack has slowly but surely been recognizing his bink and putting it in his own mouth. He is getting really good and sometimes he even does it in his sleep, which saves me a trip to his room :) I had to post this video because sometimes he gets it in his mouth but doesn't realize he has to let go of the strap. It cracks me up!!!

What am I going to do with this boy????

Jack is officially MOBILE!!!! He gets all over the place. The other day I was on the computer and when I turned around this is what I found!

Happy Mother's Day

We spent the day exploring a castle and taking a cruise on the Rhine River and looking at all the beautiful castles. I was so I got to spend my first mother's day with my mom!

The owners of this one were rich Italians and when they moved out they left everything behind so that is why this castle is decorated.

Apparently the man was a big hunter because there were over 1200 antlers in the castle

Every rock in this floor was placed by hand. I would NOT want to have that Job!
Lunch on the GO!



Of course every time I get a hot meal in front of me Jack acts like we starve him so I was so hungry i didn't want to deal with him so i just gave him a piece of bread to chew on. This was the first real food he has had.

This was our dinner cruise boat.


Some pictures of other castles along the river.

A Day in the Black Forest

A couple weeks ago we went to Schwarzwald Black Forest. It is so beautiful, like everywhere else in Europe. We had a day full of fun activities.

First we went to a wood carvers shop. It was so interesting to watch him carve these amazing pieces out of a block of wood. He was the cutest little old man :)

These were some of the items in his shop
In Germany they have 5 seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Fasching. This is a time of year where they pretty much go crazy and dance in the streets and all kinds of stuff. They all wear these wooden mask and most people hand carve their own. They spend the whole year working on them so they are very proud of the finished product. Anyway this man had a bunch up in his shop and Jack wouldn't stop looking at this one. I think it's cause it looks like his Daddy!
Jack got his first motorcycle!!!!! I will always be able to show Jack the little old man who hand carved it.

Next we went to one of the Cuckoo shops and they showed us all the steps of making one of the clocks. They said that all the Cuckoo clocks in the world come from this area in Germany. I thought that was pretty neat.

Our last stop was with the Bee Keeper. He was really interesting as well but the really cool part is that Bee Hive that Jack is sitting next to is 200 yrs old.
