Why people would be interested in reading a blog by me is beyond my understanding... excepting, of course, that you are interested in seeing the handsomest little man ever. That's the main reason I have even agreed to do a blog is so that I can show off little Jack. Occasionally I will talk about Michael or myself, but mostly this is the little Peanut's blog. So I guess I should start off with a little overview of his life up till now and then I'll work to keep this thing updated with pictures and fun stories of the cute things that he does.
After 18 hours of labor (an hour and a half pushing ), Jack Blaine Hummel was born on January 8, 2009 at 3:46 a.m. His lucky number is eight. He was born on the 8th, weighing 8 lbs. 8 oz, and was 18 1/2 in. long.
We can't decide who he looks like. The little
lunchmouth has a big head which we think he inherited from my dad. At his 2-week appt, his head was 38 1/2 cm in circumference. That boy is working on holding his huge noggin up, but it's like an orange on a toothpick! He has Michael's dad's eyes and definitely my ears and nose. Quite a few of our friends have said that he's looking more and more like Michael every day. We'll see...I think he just looks like Jack.
Jack is a really sweet little baby. He's pretty chill most of the time. When he gets hungry he lets out a little yell and then waits for us to respond. It's only if we don't respond that he'll start crying. He is starting to smile more and interact with us. A few days ago he laughed for the first time. I got so excited that I yelled to Megan (Michael's sister who lives here in Flagstaff) and startled Jack by talking so loudly and energetically. His eyes got big and he went quiet after that...oh well.
Megan was eager to eat it.
Or lick it like an ice cream cone...
Michael lit the sixteen candles...she actually turned 25, but I only had 16.
After a horrible rendition of "Happy Birthday" Meg put out the fire with her amazing anti-fire breath:
Here's a few pics of a bunch of us hanging out and eating cake:
He was fussy, but fell right asleep for Grandma.
Grandpa Hummel entertained Jack:

Uncle Sean, and his girlfriend, Corrina, with Jack:
Here's Auntie Tori (we like to call her Auntie Vicky...hehehe):
Jack and his Grandma Hummel:
Aunt Tori gave Jack some new shoes:
Then comes my new favorite face that he makes. It's like he's saying, "Ahhh, Mom, what are you doing to me?!?"
And after about thirty seconds he calms down and remains mellow for the rest of bath-time.
Froggy towel.
Naked baby.
Jack was blessed today. The blessing was pretty neat. Everyone seems to enjoy reminding Michael and me that it referred to Jack having brothers and sisters...plural. :) He was blessed in a fifty-one-year-old outfit (pictured above) that Michael's dad was christened in and Michael was blessed in. I changed him into this outfit soon after because he was getting cold. Such a cute little man with his daddy.
Grandma Hummel flew in from Texas to spend time with Jack-Jack...boy, this picture makes him look like he's got a huge gut and a very small hiney.
Jack got new shoes from his aunties and his dangling little legs looked so cute in the swing...too bad I don't know how to turn this video sideways.
