Join the Fan Club



As you may recall from a previous post, Jack was well on his way to being the #1 Spiderman fan in his age bracket. Scott has done all within his power to enable Jack to this honor:


The Spiderman & Friends board book. I have read it at bed-time about one million times already. And now I know the correct names and backgrounds of many super-heroes (thank you Scott!) because I hated saying, "I don't know who that one is Jack, ask your dad."


The Spiderman Wall Decal (yes, it is huge). Scared me when I first walked in, but Jack loved it. It has the added bonus of distracting him during diaper changes, which pleases me to no end. The first night it was on the wall, Jack slept all the way against his headboard so he could see it from his crib. Now, if that's not loyalty I'm not sure what is.

And then, Jack met his new friend. For some reason, the dimensions of this guy did not register when I ordered it online. Talk about life sized (the movie has been acting up but we are working on it):



But he's fond of it and always wants me to take Spidey out of the crib when he is playing in his room. Sometimes Spidey even goes downstairs, but usually he gets nabbed with guard duty and stays up protecting the crib. But we realized tonight just how much Jack likes him. Too cute:

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...
