John Hall is One Month!


I am a little late in posting this since his doctor's appointment was on the 18th, but I figure he's one month for an entire month, so I had a little time to get it up on the blog.
One Month Stats:
  • He weighed 10lbs, 14oz which put him in the 75th percentile
  • He is 21 1/2 inches, 65th percentile
  • His head measured 15 1/2 inches...don't know the percentile for this stat.

This is what he thought about his "One Month" photo shoot!

We've really enjoyed this age because he is pretty predictable with his schedule which allows us to run errands and go out to eat while he sleeps! The only time he's really vocal is when he's ready to be fed! He does NOT like any delay whatsoever in getting food to his little belly! He will sure let you know about it! He's been such a good baby...knock on wood!!!

He has grown so much and looks very different week to week! He no longer fits into his newborn clothes and is now into some of his 3 month things. He has the sweetest little dimple and will show it off when he smiles...which he's really starting to do lately. He's is so sweet when he wakes up in the morning and I thoroughly enjoy spending my mornings with him!

We were told the "Miracle Blanket" was a must have baby item to swaddle your child, but our baby HATES to be confined...so that was a big fat waste of money! We used it once, and he let us know what he thought about that! He prefers to be "willy nilly - loosy goosy" with his arms and legs free to move about. I sometimes think he's happiest in just his diaper. Like Jason, he's a hot natured little guy. He's been sleeping in longer streches and even went a full five hours night before last! I hope he keeps up this trend, but so far he's been a really good sleeper!




Play Time


He loves to play; especially in the morning. He really seems to enjoy his little play mat that has a hypnotic sun at the top which captivates his attention! He loves to listen when we read books to him.
Thank goodnes for this bouncy seat! It allows me time to get ready in the morning while keeping an eye on him. In fact, he sleeps so peacefully while I blow dry my hair and wakes up when I turn off the dryer! Recently, I've been leaving it on long after my hair is dry to keep up the sound sleeping! I'm sure I'll need get a new one in no time if this keeps up!

I don't think we ever imagined how wonderful parenthood could be until now. We sure love and adore our precious One Month old!!!

Memorable - John Hog - Memorial!


John Hall was so glad to be at Muddie and Pop's for all the lovin' he received from them! He can't wait to see them again!


We took him to church for the first time over the weekend. It was so special because he wore the exact same outfit and attended the very same church as Jason on his first trip to church!

Check out the grumpy goose face!

The long road trip tuckered him out and he was fussy the night he met all the family...he has been such a good baby and it was somewhat worrisome to me that he was having a personality change, but after becoming acclimated to his surroundings, he was an angel!


John Hall went to meet his Great Muddie at her new house. She was excited to finally meet him. He also met his Aunt Paula who fed him a bottle and gave him lots of hugs and kisses!


He met all the cousins who were anxious to hold him and love on him....congratulations to Brittany for making the cheerleading squad and to Kade for all his homerun hits!

I had to get a picture of John Hall and his Pop, John, together sporting their hairlines! It was pure entertainment!
Our Niece, Khloe, refers to our baby as John Hog! It's a great thing we're from Arkansas and don't mind being called hogs thanks to the Razorbacks!!! It sounds so cute when she says his name!

Can you relate???!!!


This is the funniest video! Over the weekend, Alyson, showed this to us and I thought there would be a few people who might identify with the skit who check this blog...enjoy!

Just like Pop


Just Like Pop,
Up On Top!
John Hall is staying true to his namesake...his pop, John. He is losing his hair in the same pattern of Jason's dad...the commode style! At this rate, he'll pass Pop and be completely bald in no time!

Over the River and through the woods....





To Ose and Pa's house we went...
It was the first time JH had gone to Mom & Dad's and we were greeted with a couple of welcome which is sort of a tradition when each grandkid visits for the first time. He got lots of loving and was able to finally meet his uncle Steve and cousins, Jacob & Julia!
