Final Week

This week the 24 - 28 is my last week off of maturnity leave. I am excited to go back, but sad to leave my little baby boy, however I know he will be in very good hands. I just hope he won't forget about me.

Personal Day care has been arranged, our neighbor Kelly and her little boy River will be watching him Monday & Tuesday, then our other neighbor Jennifer her little girl Lilly and little boy Reese will be watching him Wednesday, Thursday and Half day on Friday. I am excited for him to get some interaction from other people as well as their kids.

We hope to be able to switch this plan once Jeremy finds a job where he can either work a swing shift position or a night shift, this will help us with paying for Day care and will let Jack spend some one on one time with his dad.

Suprised Evening Out

Tuesday was a normal day for Jack and I. He slept in until 9:00 am I got him dressed for the day and fed. He then had his nap around 11:30 which then at 1:30 we would have to leave to go to Grandma South's house to get worked on. So we got there at 2 and then left around 4:00. At 5:30 called Jeremy to see when he would be home and see if he wanted hot dogs for dinner. He suprised me by telling me that Tawnie was going to watch Jack and we were going to go see a 6:30 movie. So we frpped Jack off at Tawnie's and went and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Thus was the fisrt Harry Potter movie that we have actually seen in the theater.

It was great. Thank You Jeremy for suprising me 'like that and Thank You Tawnie forletting Jeremy know that you were free Tuesday night.

Three Months Old!

Three months ago Jeremy and I brought home the most handsome baby of all time. I can't believe that three months is already here. Jack has started smiling and every once in a while you can get him to give you a huge smile which totally brightens your day. He is also talking, but I guess for a three month old cooing also does the trick. He has figured our that his hands tast good and that instead of using them for what they were made for they can be found in his mouth. He is sleeping through the night, which Jeremy and I were really excited about and I think it makes him a happier baby. By sleeping through the night he then usually has 2 naps one in the morning and one in the evening. Jack's main goal I think for right now is conquering the sitting up on my own. Everytime we lay him in his Boppy he tries and tries to sit up. So we then help him, but I know he will get it one day.

I have already moved all of his newborn and 0 - 3 month old clothing to a bin and moved his 3 - 6 month old clothes in arms reach. We bought in an entertainment bouncer which has four different activities and the sitting area can spin around to all four areas. Although Jack is still a little short for the bouncer he is enjoys it for 10 - 15 minutes then he is ready to get out.

We have enjoyed every minute with Jack and would not trade him for the world. The funny thing is, although he is adopted, he is a South.

Sleeping through the night

I know I know that babies shouldn't be sleeping on their tummies until they can roll over by themselves, but we have found that Jack loves to sleep on his tummy and if he does he will sleep through the night. I feel that if they can move and lift their head they will be fine.

He is such a peaceful sleeper.

I love it when he falls asleep on me.

Its funny when he is so tired he will fall asleep being held. He fell asleep at 9:15 pm and slept until 8:30 am.

Count Down Begins...

I have been on maturnity leave since May 18, 2009 and although it has been hard work I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I have 20 days left and then I go back to work. I am excited to go back to work to see my employees and have some adult time, however I will miss my boy so much.

My first day back will be Monday August 31, 2009.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

I have never gone through an open house before the Draper Temple. I remember when I was in Youg Women's we tried to go through the open house of the Timpanogos Temple, however it was a four hour wait. So going through the Draper Temple was and exciting night that Jeremy and I shared it was on Valentine's Day and we were able to share that with each other.

From June 1, 2009 to August 1, 2009 the church opened the Oquirrh Mountain Temple doors for people to see and view. I am especially excited for this temple, since this temple is part of our stake - of coarse you can go to any temple - but with it being new and beautiful its exciting to have it be part of your ward.

So Jeremy and I decided to get my family and some friends and see the Temple. Landon, Cristy, Riley, Zach, Logan, Brooke, Mom, Jon, Lauren, Andrew, Jeremy, Jack and I were the attendies. It took us a little over and hour and a half to go through the temple then afterwards we went over to Red Robin to eat. I was starving. It was quite a wait so Jon, Lauren, Andrew, Landon, Cristy, Riley, Zach and Logan headed over to Petco to keep the kids entertained. Jeremy decided to keep Jack entertained by helping him dance to the music.

Then they just decided to enjoy the evening.

Brooke and Mom

Brooke and Me

It was a really fun night and I can't wait until Jeremy and I can do a session in our new temple.
