It has been a very busy time for us. Jack is getting so big and is cuter every day. He is so alert and the smiles and giggles flow out of him all the time. He has started getting a little bit of baby oatmeal cereal in his night time bottles and it has really made a difference in his sleeping. He has started sleeping about 6 hours a night which has been great for all of us. We are really starting to develop a routine during the days and nights which has all of us feeling better.
We have been house shopping a lot online and have found a few worth looking at. We have taken a look at a few and have finally found what we believe to be our long term dream home (at least one that is in our price range). We currently have a contract on it and are hoping that the inspection comes back with no problems. It is a new construction home that is finished and we are very excited about it. I'll get some more pics uploaded soon of Jack, until then. Take care!

Back in KC
We are officially back in Kansas City! We sold our home in Texas and are currently staying with my parents. We packed and moved all of our stuff in to a storage facility. My brother came down and he drove a Uhaul and John drove the other one. We found out that we had a lot more stuff than we realized. It is now in a storage facility until we find a new home. We are currently searching for a new house and are very excited to be back around all of our family and friends. Jack is growing so fast and is very interactive. He weighs about 14 lbs. and is about 23" long. He is so good at following people and looking for you when he hears a voice. John and I are enjoying every minute of being parents and can't stop smiling at our sweet little angel baby. We take him every where we go and so far he has been great when we are out. I'll post a more recent picture of him soon. Hope you are all doing well!

Life is BUSY!
I know it has been quite a while since my last post...but it is not because there was nothing to tell. We have been so busy. As you can see from below, Jack and I flew to KC and he did great. He was asleep most of the time. We spent Easter in KC with all of our family and Jack got to meet a lot of people.
We took Jack to have his pictures taken on Sunday, he was 2 months old. He was the perfect subject. He was smiling and laughing. He far exceeded my expectations of just wanting him to be awake. I think they gave us a disk of the pictures, I'll see if I can get a couple posted.
Our house in Texas has a contract on it that is closing on April 30th and we have found a home in Independence that we have put a contract on. We are looking forward to closing on that in the first part of May. The new house is going to get a little makeover once we own it. We will be tearing out all of the flooring and replacing, painting and giving it a good cleaning. There is quite a bit of old landscaping in the backyard that we will be tearing out and getting some new bushes and flowers planted in the front yard. It is a beautiful home and we got a great deal. It is right at the lower end of our price range which will continue to allow me to stay home with Jack. I feel lucky and blessed every day, thanks to John's hard work away from the home. All is really starting to fall in to place and we are thrilled to be moving back. Everyone should get their work clothes ready and be on call to help us with the new house...we'd love the help.
Stay tuned for more house updates and Jack updates too!

Busy times
Last week we had 6 showings in 4 days and then nothing. We haven't heard from anyone and we haven't had a showing since Friday so we are hoping that it picks up again soon. We are looking forward to getting back to KC so we don't have to leave the house with Jack and Tyson every time someone wants to look at the house. It sure is hard to entertain a 6 week old and a chihuahua for blocks of time. What am I talking about...Jack sleeps...it's hard to entertain myself for blocks of time, when I know there is so much we have to do before we leave. I still haven't figured out how to pack everything that I need for an indefinite amount of time while keeping everything put away.
Jack has been somewhat keeping a schedule in the night and his feedings are getting a little more spread out...slowly but surely. Last night was a little rough, but we made it through. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow for my 6 week check up and we have an appointment for Jack on Wednesday for his 2 month shots. We are doing his appointment a week early since we are leaving for KC soon. It was important to me that we have his first set of shots before we get on the plane...you never know what you can pick up on the planes. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does on the plane. I hope it isn't an hour and a half of crying or fussing. Hopefully he sleeps the whole time.
A month from tomorrow is my 30th birthday and I can't believe it. Time has gone so fast and now that Jack is here time is going even faster. It's hard to believe that in a month John and I will both be in our 30's and we have a baby. A lot has happened in the six and a half years that we've been married, but Jack is by far the best accomplishment. I look forward to seeing how much he weighs and how tall he is on Wednesday...I'll post his updated stats sometime on Wednesday so you'll have to check back. Lots of love & Smiles, Robin
