Tummy Time Face



Jack looks serious with his furrowed Christensen brow!!


We have some good pictures of "tummy time" we thought we would share.  He also likes his baby front-pack, and sometimes the sling. Usually the front-pack + Dad = Nap time!!

This week Jack has started to smile on his own - like if Scott or I smile, or if we tickle his lip or nose.  He is way better at holding his head up, and stays awake longer if we are doing something with him.  He is also more aware of his body, especially his hands.  He tries to reach for things, or swat at things (like his medicine) We enjoy reading various books to him and playing "tummy time".  Sometimes I read Winnie-the-Pooh, and Scott reads Lord of the Rings.

Scott enjoys watching old episodes of The Incredible Hulk on Netflix.com with Jack.  "Don't make me hungry, Mr. McGee! You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry" seems to be a catch phrase.  Scott has started calling Jack "Baby Hulk" when he gets fussy!

We ventured out this weekend into to wide world. We went to Mass on Sunday.  Granted, we sat in the vestibule the entire time, but we were there with all the other parents.  He was not too fussy, but had 2 wet diapers and wanted some lunch. It was quite the adventure! 

Grandma and Grandpa Christensen are coming out this weekend, so Jack will have met all his grandparents! We are excited for their visit. Eventually, they will just move out here and visiting will be a lot easier.

Have a great week!

Cut Out the Middle Man

I t was snack time at the Christensen house and I decided to use up some leftover cream cheese and salsa and chips (just lying around -I promise!!) Jack, as it turns out is new to the world of dipping. I used some of his crunchies and dipped it in the salsa cheese mix. He seemed to enjoy the flavor of it. I went into the kitchen to fix us both a drink and when I came back out I realized that Jack decided he'd had enough of the middle man and went right into dipping with the tools God gave him! I laughed so hard I had to share it with you! No One's Around to Catch Me... E xcep t Mom and her camera... I guess he thought it was good bean dip! He ate the rest of the bowl!!

7 Weeks Old!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go! Smile for Daddy! Baby, You Can Drive My Car Well, Little Jack is almost 8 weeks old now.  He has been a busy boy, and we are starting to get into a more regular routine. I think it is good for all involved.  We usually get up about when Daddy does at 5:00.  Sometimes we get another nap after that first meal, but sometimes we don't. And that's OK.   Our new nighttime routine involves bath-time at 7:00 (on bath days) so that he can eat and drift off to sleep and maybe give Mom and Dad an hour before their 9:00 bedtime.   Jack can still usually go 4 hours at night. Sometimes we are unlucky and he gets up every 2 hours.  This is rare now.  Sometimes we are very lucky and  he'll sleep 6 to 8 hours.  Not too often, but it is a taste of things to come.  He is getting really good at holding his head up.  I think he gets bored on some days because you cannot just leave him in his bouncy seat - he cries and cries.  He went into the doctor's last...

Second First: First day of School!

Well, the day finally came. It felt like we waited a long time, but the day arrived quickly nonetheless. The first day of school! Maybe it seemed to come so soon since the kids start school when they are 2 1/2 or 3 now. Guess there's more to learn than when I was a kid, LOL. It was more stressful than I thought to select a school. We visited a few local(ish) schools and finally settled on Holy Cross Lutheran Early Learning Center . It's only 15 minutes away, which is pretty close for where we live. We liked this preschool mainly because of the small size of the classes. And when we took Jack for a tour he seemed the most comfortable. So I guess in the end the choice was pretty simple - I just over worry about things most of the time. So he goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 12:00. It's an adjustment for all of us, but so far so good. Ready to Leave  That was Jack all ready to go on the first day. Eventually he'll grow into that backpack. B...
