Super Duper Mom

Sometimes I get a little over ambitious....or think that I am more creative than I really am. Well, the past few weeks have been no exception. Now that I am a mom I feel like I should be better at mom things...you know, scrapbooking, crafty stuff, blanket making...the works. Well, unfortunately I'm not creative or crafty....just ambitious. When I found out I was pregnant I decided that my children should have home made Christmas stockings like I had growing up. So, I bought these very elaborate stocking kits thinking of the wonderful Christmas' ahead and how much my kids would love them. Well, here they sit, shoved under a chair in my living room, with an hours worth of work done before I realized, I can't even sew sequins on a piece of felt! So, after that I gave up on the blanket idea (luckily, other talented women have made lovely blankets for Jack). I decided a few weeks ago that I would make Jack's baby announcements. I had my brother-in-law take some pictures, and Jay took some pictures, I spent a little while at the craft store looking for ideas when reality set in. I can't even tie a bow to stick to the top of card stock :) Then I got home, looked around the house and saw the moving boxes and the ever growing stack of spit-up laundry, realized I had to feed Jack for the 257th time that day and decided that no one cares when they get birth announcements, they cost too dang much to mail and I can just post the pictures on my blog :) So, long story longer...here are some more cute pictures of Jack :)


Here are Jay and Jack's feet. They are almost identical! Long stinkin' toes!

This one is my favorite...I love naked baby pictures :)

Jay hates this picture. "Jack is going to run for president one day and this picture is going to come up and people will think he's gay". I saw a cute announcement that had a picture like this....the baby is supposed to look like a present. Well, this just makes Jack look like a girl or a fairy. Plus, he peed on the sheet while we were trying to take it. I guess we will save this idea for when we have a girl :)
