Giggles McGiggleson

Jett loves to laugh!...which, of course, means we are constantly trying to make him laugh. This isn't as easy as you may think. Something that makes him laugh uncontrollably one day can suddenly become uninteresting the next. What a let down! Luckily, I was able to capture this great giggle fest on my phone before these cougar hisses became less and less amusing over the next few days. Tell me that's not the most adorable laugh!! P-resh. 

...And it's pretty adorbs he's half nakey.

Four months old on January 13th! This month's blanket background is Jake's Oregon State Beaver blanket. Doesn't my little Jett look so dapper?!

Poopy Pants

Who knew that when you become a mom you suddenly become very interested in poop!...for Jake, I'm sure this has always been an interest of his because he's a man child. But yes, it's a daily interest to know if my sweet Punkin Bears (yet another new nickname) did his daily business and what color and consistency it is. Pea soup and peanut butter are usually descriptions we've used. Yummy! Jett then gets praised for the poop bomb because we then know things are working properly, not to mention it puts him in a better mood. We can usually tell when it's the real thing coming and not just him being Toots Magoo, because there is a priceless poop face he does, complete with some grunting...I then won't mention the stench smell that subtly wafts in the air, too. Anyway, I decided this occasion needed to be documented because it sure gives us a chuckle. Poor Punkin Bears will now have an embarrassing video we'll have of him to show off.

Bless You

Jett's blessing day was on the first Sunday of the month this year, January 5th. He looked so dang adorable (and snuggley) in his little sweater outfit I found for him! I'm not a fan of the traditional mini suit and tie blessing outfits for baby boys that are usually all made of satin, so I had been on the search for awhile to find something else suitable. We're just not those kind of prim and proper fams so I wanted something more "us"... like letting Gage wear sweet Converse shoes with his tux for our wedding. That's our style. So, thank you Target for being that place I found such a cute outfit and Kohl's for the perfect matching booties. My beloved stores.

It was a busy day for blessings, so two itsy-bitsy baby girls went first before chunker Jett. I told Jake that when it was finally our turn, he should get the mic and say in a deep, sultry voice, "Ladies...." but (sigh) he did not. Jake did a great job and of course I got teary-eyed. Jett stayed perfectly calm, which I was a wee worried about since he was not in his napping milk-coma yet and had just started up his squeals, cooing, and hiccups after the opening prayer. Good baby! And kudos to the men in the prayer circle for all being to hold up Jett's chunky buns for a whole 2-3 minutes. After church, it was off to Olive Garden with the fam to break the Sabbath, and ooooh was that seafood alfredo delicious! Overall, it turned out to be a low-key, special day, and I'm grateful for my little family.

Wishing You...

The Jones Family Christmas Card 2013!

So fun for Jett to meet Santa and experience this fun time of year. 

Can't wait for his first Christmas! 

3 Months

My little Jett is growing up so fast! He gets cuter and cuter every day, which I didn't even think was possible because he was already the cutest baby on the planet! I'm such a mom. We had our little photoshoot session and I couldn't pick which pic was the most adorable, so I'm posting a few. It's also time to post some new updates on him since things change and develop so quickly! 

• His new favorite object is Mr. Bear, his little security blanket. He hugs him and rubs his face all over Mr. Bear's face.
• He is quite the slobber puss these days! Constant chin-wiping.
• He gets more and more talkative, and the sounds are the cutest thing ever! We love chatting back with him and having "conversations".
• Smiles are the BEST!!
• We are working on full on, hearty giggles now. They take some effort sometimes to get out, but Jake is the best at getting Jett to laugh.
• He LOVES sleeping on his tummy. I know this is a big no-no but he falls asleep quickly and stays asleep. We're not worried about it. I'm sure he gets this from me because I've always been a stomach sleeper.
• He's been on a role lately of sleeping through the night until around 6 or 7 when we also wake up. Heavenly!
• We prop him up on the couch in the corner so he can sit and watch TV with us...like Muppet Christmas Carol 3 times. He's so close to sitting up on his own!
• He is becoming less interested in his froggy binky, which makes me sad.
• He's a big eater! We are about to graduate to the big size bottles now...Santa will be bringing some cute blue ones for him with whales. 
• He is also getting a little better at holding his bottles but usually doesn't last all the way through the feeding...easier for mom to do it so he can be lazy and sleepy.
• He has been great at daycare, and it melts my heart when they send home little art projects he's done. This month's was his footprint made into a snowman. Adorbs!
• We finally had a first poop-blowout, which we've somehow avoided all these weeks. I wasn't there to witness it but Jake's description was pretty yucky.
• Our new thing we do after we bathe him is use the blow dryer on him to dry him off as he calmly lies there on his towel. Haha. He enjoys it because it keeps him warm.
