Sorry, this video is kind of boring. I have another where he's smiling a ton, but it's too long to upload. I'll put another one on soon, that showcases his new abilities. Thought you'd like this in the meantime. Notice how blue his eyes are still!

Thank you Grandpa W., Karmen, Angela and Brinley for giving me those special Valentine's Day cards. They made my first Valentine's Day very special!

Love,

John

The binky helps make a good Poker face, don't you think?

Grandma Quale knit this hat for John. Isn't it adorable?

Our little Packer fan

Hike!

Like father, like son (oh, and John's crying

because football season is over).

I'm ready for some tailgating!

You can keep the boy away from Wisconsin...

...but you can't keep Wisconsin away from the boy!

Keepin' up with the Jantzes...

I didn't think I'd be the mom that had a binky in my son's mouth at all times. Therefore, I was satisfied to just use the ones given at the hospital. Well, pretty soon I realized binky = sanity, and I became a binky mom. However, I was still using the hospital binky. That's when my brother-in-law, Peter Jantz, commented on one of John's photos "what's with that big teal thing in John's mouth?". At that moment, I felt completely embarrassed. Peter's daughter obviously had better fashion sense than to use the hospital binky. I mean, those were soo 2 lbs ago! At that moment, I realized this would be John's first experience with peer pressure, and I'm sure not his last. So, I asked my sister which brand all the kids were using these days and purchased one for my son. This is what any loving mother would do, right?

What do you think of his "MAM"? (I know, what a weird brand name)
