1. This kiddo loves to suck his thumb. When he lays down for a nap or bed time, he turns his head from side to side, fusses a little, then the thumb goes in the mouth and he's instantly soothed. I never thought I'd be so happy to have a thumb sucking baby!
2. Jack absolutely loves to sleep! He sleeps for 11-12 hours every night, and we usually have to wake him up in the morning. Garrett always gets him up, gives him his reflux medicine, and changes his diaper and then I feed him about 30 minutes later to give his medicine some time to settle. He always wakes up as happy as can be, giggling and smiling. Garrett and I love to sleep, so we are thankful that God gave us a baby who loves to sleep as much as we do!
3. One of our new favorite things is the toy, "Sophie the giraffe." Jack loves this thing because he can hold it in his hands really well and he likes to put Sophie's feet and ears in his mouth. I know, it looks like a doggie chew toy, but Jack loves it! And Sophie originated in France, so we're exposing Jack to a variety of cultural experiences:)
4. Tummy time! Jack absolutely loves being on his tummy. He pushes up with his arms and loves looking all around and he loves being on his tummy because he can easily suck his thumb! Jack has rolled a few times from his tummy to his back and lately he's been pulling his knees up under him to scoot his little body while he's on his tummy. Sometimes he puts his face down on his play mat and wiggles his arms and legs all at once....it's like he's trying to swim. It's hilarious.
5. Jack Griffin loves the sound of his own voice. Maybe that means he'll be a talker like his mommy or maybe he'll be able to sing like his daddy. Either way this kiddo could be happy listening to himself make noise all day long. Garrett and I crack up listening to his constant noise making while he looks out of the window in the car. It's like he knows there's a conversation going on in the front seat and he wants to be a part of it. I love it and I can't wait until his sounds make words and he can tell me what is going on inside of that precious little head. A video or sound clip coming soon...
These are just a few of Jack's favorite things, and I'm sure they will change as he gets bigger....One more of his favorite things to do is eat (as you can tell by the fat rolls all over his body and his weight in the 96th percentile), but I'll spare the blog world of any details about my child's love of breast milk! And obviously on the top of Jack's favorite list are his parents who love and adore him!
