Big Brother Jack!

With all the talk about Gavin, I wanted to take a minute to update everyone on our little man Jack. So far Jack has been an AWESOME big brother! He's so sweet and nice to Gavin. He always hugs him and tells him he loves him. And when Gav cries, Jack tries to calm him down by playing music on his swing or rubbing his head. Jack is dying for Gav to be big enough to play with him - he always gives the baby his cars and toys and he says that they like to watch TV together.

I've been pleasantly surprised at how well Jack is handling it all. Now don't get me wrong, Jack is still a typical 2 year old so we are still dealing with the defiance and fits. Every once in a while he'll get jealous and tell us to put the baby down but that's to be expected. I think the biggest problem is school - Jack still cries when we take him. I think because he wants to be home with me and Gav. But once we leave he's great and has fun there. We're just trying to be as patient as possible because we know the little guy has been through a lot of change these past few months.

Overall he's such an amazing and well-adjusted kid. He still loves his CARS and anything Toy Story. And his new thing is jumping off EVERYTHING! I see a few trips to he ER in our future because this boy is fearless. He's getting so big and now that we have the little nugget in the house, Jack seems like such a big kid now. And he's growing to be such a handsome fella and looks so much like his daddy. We try to give him as much attention as we can so that he knows we still love him just the same, even though Gavin here. Christian and I know we are so blessed to have two beautiful, healthy boys. Here are a few pictures of Mr. Jack just being Jack...
