Easter Egg Hunt

Jack "participated" in his first Easter egg hunt today. He picked up one egg and played with it the rest of the time. A good friend of mine gave Jack two more to play with too! Here are some pictures from our time at the egg hunt.

Visiting the Fire Station

For those of you that do not know, John is transferring to a different fire station next week. Today is his last shift at his current station, so Jack and I went to visit him today (and bring him some things he forgot this morning). Here are some pictures of our visit.

My sweet boys!

Happy boy Jack!

Watch out! Jack's driving!

Happy 11 Months Birthday Jack

First off... I have been having trouble uploading pictures and videos to the blog. I actually tried to upload pictures on Jack's 11 months birthday, but Firefox and Internet Explorer both kept crashing!! So here I am, several days later attempting to upload the picture again...

11 month!?!?!? Are you serious?!? I CANNOT believe that Jack will be 1 year old next month! That truly blows my mind. Many people told us that it flies by... but SERIOUSLY?!?!? It feels like warp speed.

Jack's favorite place to play these days.

BIG CHEESE!!


And here we are attempting the sock monkey pictures....

So he won't be still... so once again, we give him the closest thing we have... a thermometer.

Very happy with this new "toy"

Look at what I have...

What Jack is up to these days:

• Cruising with anything that moves! (toys, laundry baskets, his parents, etc. :)
• Standing without assistance
• Trying to walk
  
• Getting into EVERYTHING!
• Clapping his hands
• Had his first 24 hour stomach virus (NOT COOL!! Gave it to Daddy then to Momma)
• Bathing in the big tub
• Playing with the dogs through the storm door
• Getting more and more vocal every day (it actually sounds like he's trying to say words)
• Pointing at everything
  
• Loves being outside and actually cries when we bring him back inside
• Drinking out of his sippy cup like a champ... **fingers crossed for dropping the bottle all together next month**
• Dancing all the time
  
• Crawling faster and faster every day... it's crazy!
• Of course... I'm sure there is MUCH more! I just can't seem to remember when I sit down here!
  

Everybody Clap Your Hands!

Jack has decided to show us he knows how to clap his hands! He's so proud of himself! And of course, we are proud of him too!! I really can't believe he will be 11 months old next week. WOW!!

Video Update on Jack

Jack is really starting to practice walking. Here he is cruising with his toy that his Granddaddy and Nana gave him for Christmas. He is LOVING it, except when he runs into the wall or something that stops him from moving!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Love,

Jack

Happy 10 Months Birthday Jack!

So.... I'm a LITTLE late on Jack's 10 month birthday blog (which was last Tuesday) and WAY behind on updating the blog. Please forgive. My excuse... LIFE! :)

Once again, taking Sock Monkey pictures with Jack is becoming quite the challenge. He does not care to sit still at all. He is constantly on the go... and it is a blast! :)

What Jack is up to these days:

• Standing every chance he gets
• While standing, he will pick up different objects. Then he purposely drops them just to squat down to pick them up again. SILLY BOY!!
• Cruising- He is walking along the couch in the TV room.
• Crawling over things... where Jack then nose dives into the floor.
• Talking all the time- dada... mama... nana... gaga... lala... baba, etc.
• Eating big people food. He had mexican food for the first time this month. Refried beans with some rice and tortillas! YUMMY!
• Throwing his toys, just to go and pick them up.
• LOVES DOGS!! He loves watching our dogs from the window. At the sitter he constantly chases her dog, who could care less about him.
• Finally mastering the sippy cup on his own. It took us FOREVER to find one he likes. Thank you Gerber!
• Still giving kisses and hugs. But now he will give them without you asking for them. SWEET BOY!!!
• Taking two naps a day still.
• Loves being outside. We can't wait for warmer weather!! Or rather.. CONSISTENT warmer weather.
• I know there is more... but I am hearing "Mama.. nana... mama... nana" and tapping on my leg right now. Time to rescue the Jack Attack. :)
