Congratulations to Meredith & Joel! We celebrated their beautiful wedding this weekend at a b&b in Indiana, and Jack broke out his finest duds for the wedding. That's right - a baby tuxedo. Let me tell you, a baby in a tuxedo *almost* steals the show from the beautiful bride and maid of honor, cousin Alice. But not quite ;)

We've been hearing some hints of Jack laughing for a couple days, but weren't really sure if he was actually laughing or if Beavis (or Butthead) had possessed our baby. Tonight was the first real laugh we heard from Jack, and it was truly music to our ears :)

McCoy Family Album - 2012

I'm determined to keep up with the (literally) thousands of photos that we are taking of our little family - technology makes it so easy to capture every sweet face Jack makes and new trick in his arsenal, but it also means that we take a ton of photos, and they are stored in four different places.

I recently commandeered Bryan's phone and downloaded every picture on it, did the same with mine and our good camera, and sorted it all into event folders. I sorted through the whole sea of photos and came up with about 200 of our favorites from 2012.

I'm turning many of these into a beautiful coffee table book and hope to make a new one every year, so when we're old and living in the amazing ocean-view home they bought us as thanks for all of our many years of parenting, we can look back on those beautiful books and remember when our successful, fully grown children were teeny tiny babies.

But until you visit and see the book in person, you can enjoy a slideshow of our favorite moments here.

Tonight Jack learned how to roll from his back to his tummy! Weeee!

Hooray! Jack reached his first major milestone today - rolling over! My video taking and editing skills leave much to be desired, but you'll get the general idea.

He is officially on the move....

It's so hard to be a baby...

When I decided to start this blog so our friends and family could keep up with Jack, I thought it would be good for posterity to go back and post my photos and videos of Jack reaching his first milestones - sort of like an online baby book. As I thought about what to include so we could one day look back and fondly recall when Jack first smiled, rolled over, hopefully one day walked & talked and graduated college and bought his parents a vacation home in the Caribbean...(I know, we have a long way to go), I realized that in our technology saturated world, I really needed to include one other milestone - his first Facebook post. Here it is (hands down the post popular post ever to appear on Mama McCoy's facebook page):
