Jack in a nutshell

JACK IN A PICTURE:

Ok, ok, if you insist….here is another;)

Oh gosh…we can’t stop!

JACK SUMMED UP IN ONE WORD: Scrumptious!

MOST FREQUENT COMMENT MADE BY A STRANGER ABOUT JACK: Wow…look at all that hair! Then they usually look at John and say oh we see where he gets it! 2nd most frequent comment is…wow that is a big boy! Then they look at me and say oh we see where he gets it…just kidding:)

THINGS WE HAVE LEARNED FROM JACK: Jack has really given us a good intro into British culture…a few fun “Britishisms”:  Nappy=Diaper; Wee=Pee; Wind=Gas, Top n’ Tail=sponge bath; Cotton Wool=what we use instead of wipes (think cotton balls and water); Pram=Stroller; Cot=Crib. We are on a roll…pretty soon my yalls will be replaced by my mates:)

JACK’S MOST IMPRESSIVE TALENT: It takes all 3 of us, Team Jack as we call ourselves, to change a nappy…think Nascar pit crew….one person is on leg duty, one wiping with cotton balls of course and one person who is supposed to be protecting the rest of us from a wild spraying anteater…no names mentioned but someone has been failing at their job–we have been soaked with wee multiple times;)

***PS: It would take a 4th person to get a picture of us changing him…any volunteers?!?!

JOHN’S FAVORITE THING ABOUT JACK: Jack loves to hold John’s finger and John just can’t get enough of that….awww:)

SUSSY’S FAVORITE THING ABOUT JACK: His soft skin. We have found her multiple times with her cheek up to his…

CAROLINE’S FAVORITE THING ABOUT JACK: EVERYTHING! I just can’t believe he is here and is really ours….I can’t stop staring at him…except when I fall asleep holding him apparently;)

We are so excited to have our little prince home! Thanks everyone for all the love and support. Congrats to Adam for winning the pool….a rocket is coming your way:)

    Hello Caroline, John, and Baby Jack! My mom recently told me about your blog and when I heard that Jack had arrived I knew I had to pop in and say CONGRATS! Hope to see you when you are back in the States! Enjoy that little prince and Happy Holidays!
