Jack's New Role

By
On June 1st, Jack took on his newest and likely most challenging role to date: big brother. His baby brother was born early that morning at 1:47 am. Jack's world will never be the same...but hopefully it will be a thousand times better!

Spencer Shane MacFarlane is the newest addition to our little family. He weighed 7 lbs, 6 oz at birth which after Jack, made his momma quite happy! He was also 20 3/4 inches long. In the first 17 days of Spence's life, he has probably gained over a pound and grown an inch. Well the inch may an exaggeration, now that he's stretching out his legs, he seems to have grown.

Jack has taken on his new role in style. He is very sweet to his little brother and also very curious. We are starting to see some pangs of jealousy, hopefully we are able to handle those well and spread our love and attention.

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

By
Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
