our little blue-eyed king

Oh my gosh you guys, this kid I popped out a few months ago is GROWING UP! He laughs and squeals all the time and it is so adorable I just...I can't even contain myself. I wish I could video him constantly so everyone could experience all the hilarious and cute things he does. For instance all of you who don't get to see him very often.
He thinks that kicking his legs is the most fun ever, and you know when he's excited about something because he will start kicking his legs ferociously. Kick-the-blanket-off-my-legs is his favorite game. And mirrors. Oh.my.gosh. mirrors. He loves them! I think if he was in one of those johnny-jump-ups in front of a mirror, he would be in heaven. Put him in front of a mirror and he is enthralled. Apparently he thinks he's the cutest thing ever, too. Yesterday we were in the car and Jack started throwing a fit, so we stopped and I was sitting in the back seat holding him when suddenly he just stopped crying and fussing; I turned to look at his face and he was smiling so huge... his face was directly in front of the little mirror on the back of the seat and as soon as he had noticed himself in the mirror it was like he forgot about everything else!

Since he's been feeling better Jack has been eating non-stop. Now, I know you think this is the same as he has always done, but no. I used to think he ate all the time. I didn't know what I was talking about. He will nurse until the cows come home. I actually have to swap him out with a binky after an hour or so, just so I can go to the bathroom!
He's still growing fast, although I'm sure he's gearing up for another growth spurt. When he was sick we took him to the doctor and he weighed in at 17lbs 9oz, we didn't measure him so I don't know if he grew in length. ANYWAY. That's what's up with Jack for now.
