Week of July 16th to July 22nd

anniversary toes - so symbolic of our family!

On Tuesday, July 17th, we celebrated our two year wedding anniversary! It is truly amazing to reflect on where we have come in the two years we have been married!

Here we are on our wedding day, July 17th 2010 

Here is how we celebrated our two year anniversary as a family of 3! We got a take out pizza, a bottle of champagne, and Jack, and sat at Plymouth beach.  It's amazing how life has changed, but we wouldn't want it any other way!

Daddy and Jack on our anniversary 

Happy little man

This weekend, we took Jack into Boston for the first time! It was a beautiful summer day, and we had so much fun walking around the city and going to lunch.  Today was also the first day Jack "graduated" from the bassinet attachment of our stroller, and sat in the toddler seat.  He loved the bassinet for the first 11 weeks, but now that he is more curious and likes to look around, we decided to make the switch.  Jack loves being able to sit in his stroller, and was so much more content as we walked around the city! Of course, mommy was a little sad as I washed all the bassinet linens to think that my little man is growing up :)

fast asleep in Boston...Jack was loving his new stroller :)

11 weeks already! Our printer ran out of ink, so the sign needed to be hand written.  He looks so large in this picture! At lactation class this week, Jack weighed 11lbs 12 oz, so this little man is growing to be a big guy.

I love my baths...but I still don't love getting out!

Week of July 9th to July 15th

The next generation of Saint A's friends... Owen, J.J., and Jack.  It's so great that Katie, Maria, and I all had baby boys within 6 months of each other.  We hope these boys will be as good of friends as we are! These boys are going to be trouble!

Peacefully snoozing side by side.  Not sure how much longer they are going to do this :)

 I love these next few pictures! Literally overnight, Jack transformed into a very smiley baby! He used to give us an occasional smile, and now has so many precious toothless smiles for mommy and daddy! It's amazing how much such a itty bitty smile can melt my heart! 

Jack thinks daddy is hilarious!

Mr. Crabby Pants!

Daddy loves to give me a mohawk

 Today was the first day we sat Jack in his BUMBO seat and he LOVES it! He was cracking up watching daddy be silly, so mommy was able to capture some smiles.  Jack enjoys sitting in his BUMBO and curiously looking around the room.  He now sits in it at the dinner table while mommy and daddy eat.

Week of July 2nd to July 8th

Jack's favorite place to nap :)

This little man is so full of smiles, especially in the morning! I am having such a hard time capturing a good smile on film.

Taking a snooze with Trouble at the beach

Love the peacefulness of this little guys sleeping! 

Jack's First July 4th

July 4th was not Jack's best holiday this year.  After getting his shots the day before, he spent most of the day not feeling too great.  Lack of sleep, high heat, and being passed around all day made for a very cranky boy! Here are some highlights from the day:

Nonna is in love with Jack 

This is the first time Papa feels comfortable holding Jack! 

Proud Papa!

The Conettas

Jack is happy to be hanging with his Uncles
