Jack-Jack and Duck-Duck







My sweet little Jack-Jack has had a rough go of it since day one. Because of all his tummy issues, he spent the first 6 months of his life, a little "disgruntled." However, now, he is the most layed-back, go-with-the-flow kid, and laughs at EVERYTHING!! I would have never imagined that, after all the screaming that took place initially. Now, don't get me wrong, when he does get upset, you better believe that he is going to make some noise and let you know about it, but other than that, he is just SO SWEET!!!! During all his screaming times, I told Mark, "How am I ever going to know if he is teething, because he screams all the time?" Also, Hudson was such a SLOW teether, that I didn't even expect any teeth before 9 months. Well, guess what, Jack has now cut two teeth, and there are two more coming, and I never knew it. AND, he is only 7 months old. He has been a little fussy over the past week or so, and he has been constantly chewing on "Duck-Duck," as noted in the pics. So, the other day, he put my finger in his mouth, bit down, and sure enough, there were two teeth. CRAZY!!! I felt like such a bad mom for not even being aware that he was teething. Poor kid got no motrin or anything. He is going to be a TOUGH ONE!

Dallas World Aquarium

This past weekend, we had a "family day" and went to the Dallas World Aquarium. None of us had ever been, including Mark, who grew up in the metroplex. Let me just say it was AWESOME!! So awesome, that we are going to get a family membership for the whole year. It is set up by different levels. The first level is the rain forest, then you work your way down to the bottom of the ocean. Hudson was just beside himself. He has a favorite book that has all the tropical animals in it, and when we walked into the rain forest section, he said, "Oh look, a multi-colored toucan!" This was one of the creatures in his book. Jack was just totally enthralled by all the beautiful animals and fish. When we finished we went to the the busiest Chick-fil-a in the nation, which is in Downtown Dallas. It really is the busiest in the nation, but by far the best service EVER. It had a 4-lane drive thru, and a HUGE eating area. It was great!! Then we all came home and crashed. Such a great day making memories. Here are some pics from our great adventure...







Easter Pics





Our sweet friend Bee, who keeps the boys on Tuesday and Thursday, takes the BEST pics. Here are some of the Easter pics she took for us this year. Most of them are action shots, which will probably continue to be that way, until the boys are 20. Hope you enjoy!! I sure do love my BOYS!!!
