play date with luke

Several weeks ago, my friend Sarah and her sweet baby Luke (also known as Jack's best friend) came over for our first of many play dates!

Luke isn't quite as mobile as our little monster, but he did great on his belly!

strong baby!

ALWAYS on the move!

Sarah and our boys. So dang precious!

We had a great time with our babies and I'm excited about future play dates. And, we have scheduled for this Friday! 

McKenley.

A couple weekends ago, a fraternity brother of John's, his wife, Emily, and their sweet daughter McKenley were in town for some family pictures. It worked out that we could all have lunch together on Sunday and finally our little ones could meet!

Emily announced she was pregnant about a month before me and due in April. However, McKenley had other ideas. Five weeks before her due date, McKenley made her debut. She's a precious 7 month old who, I think, taught Jack to "blow raspberries".

It was great to finally meet the newest little Boyd and, there's no question, in about 18 years, these two will be friends at OU!

Already trying to put the moves on. McKenley is not impressed. PS - Jack's hair is out of control!

I've mentioned it several times, but a good friend of mine had her precious baby about a month ago. Jack and I (and John) have been over to see them a few times, and I can already tell that Luke and Jack are going to be the bestest of friends!

Not the best pic, but the first of many of these sweet little guys!

I couple weekends ago, some friends of ours (Josh & Lindsay) stopped by on their way back to Dallas after a weekend in Oklahoma.

J&L had their sweet baby girl, Addison, the day before we had our little monster  Jack :). And, since our babes are so close in age, they had to meet!

Although they're a little too young to remember, they were fast friends and both of them were just staring at the other baby in the room. (That's the first Jack's really been around other babies, so far). Anyway, Addi was born with tons of hair, like Jack, but hers is thicker and darker. And she has the cutest chubby cheeks!

We took tons of pics that we hope to show them in 18 years, when they're friends at OU.

babies meeting for the first time (it looks like Jack has a bald spot, which is not the case)

even when meeting new people, Jack just can't keep his hands out of his mouth

aaand...he's done.

We had a great time catching up with the Carsons and can't wait to get the babies together again!

baby shower.

A couple weeks ago I went to a baby shower for a friend (and sorority sister) of mine and Jack's future best friend.

I got there early thinking I could feed the babe before too many people got there and he got distracted. Although that was good thinking on my part, things didn't exactly turn out that way. In the three hours we were there, Jack had 3 ounces of formula and was awake for all but 30 minutes. But, to his credit, he was a perfect angel! He got super hot, but didn't make a peep! And, by the time I loaded him in his car seat for the drive home, he was out.

Several girls from my pledge class were there and I was so excited to show off my precious little guy. And, it was great to catch up with girls I hadn't seen in a long time.

Sarah, Sam and baby Luke are really loved and after this shower, they should be pretty much ready for his arrival in early September (or later this month, if he's itching to get out...).

Anyway, one of the girls had her camera and got some great pics of everyone (and Jack)!

John and I get so excited when we find out that our friends are having babies. And, Sarah and Sam are no exception. We can't wait for Luke to get here!
