Jack and Isabella

We visited our good friends Steve and Christine over the weekend. Jack and Isabella played great together, you can see the begining of a wonderful friendship.

The Continental

Here he is in his little man PJs, a gift from our good friends Alan and Kim. We think he looks super cute in these.
All he needs are his slippers and smoking jacket! Would you like some champagne?

Just Jack

Here he is with his name in lights.

Jack and the Fridge

Jack loves to rearrange the stuff in the fridge. Now if I could only teach him how to use the sponge and 409!

Jack and the Dust Buster

We discovered a funny thing lately. Jack doesn't like the Dust Buster. I keep it in the kitchen to do quick clean ups of his high chair area. He's never cried or whined when it was near him or on but we realized that he wouldn't got near it or touch it. If it blocks his way he avoids it, so unlike him! Although just last week we witnessed him crawl up to it and touch it quickly, but he hasn't since. I'm starting to wonder if I should forget the baby gates etc and just buy a couple extra dust busters!

Baby Steps

We've got exciting news about baby Jack...he took his first steps on Sat Jan 13. We were hanging out in the TV room with uncle Matt and while going after his ginger ale can Jack took his first 3 steps all by himself!
As soon as we figured out what he did we passed the can around to each other trying to recreate the magic moment. He did it for us once more and then starting getting a little ticked. Poor guy didn’t know what was going on! He hasn’t done it since, but we’re all waiting, soda in hand, for him to walk again.
Yeah for Jack!! We're so proud of you.

Introduction to Ramen Noodles

Dad thought it would be a good idea to introduce Jack to Ramen noodles, an old favorite of many. 

 

 

The Hat

I love this hat. I mean seriously have you seen anything cuter! 

Christmas Day

Here we all are enjoying a lovely moment...Grant and Jack playing quietly together. I won't post the photos of Jack pulling Grant's hair or Grant trying to bite Jack. ;) Boys will be boys. Seriously though, we do see that they're already BFFs.

Jack with his accomplice Uncle Matt and his Diet coke. That's right all of the photos show Jack playing with wrapping paper or soda cans.

PS Remember the combo of Matt and the soda can...this theme repeats!  

Show's over lady

As soon as Jack figures out his photo is being taken he comes after you with a vengeance to grab the camera. 

All these gifts and...

the kid is obsessed with the wrapping and bows, a cliché but so true. 

Christmas 2006 - Better late than never

You might be saying...waiting a minute Michele, it's Jan 15, a little late for Christmas photos...and to that I say this is just on time in our household these days. :) 

Brown tub toy

So Jack's having a bath this evening and I notice a brown toy in the bottom of the tub. I reach down to pick it up and lo & behold . . . it's not a toy at all! So as a remove Mr. Man from the contaminated area in an effort to do whatever one handed damage control I can muster, he pees on the rug. A hilarious 1 - 2 punch that I (in my infinitely mature mind) find worthy of a blog post.

Well played wee man . . . Well played indeed.

Merry Christmas 2006!

 

Jack's First Birthday

We had a wonderful celebration for Jack's birthday a few weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who made it so special. 

With Daddy, Grandma Tina and uncle Matt 

 

Here he is in his birthday chair getting ready to have his very own 1st birthday cake 

Jack with Grandpa holding his Birthday Balloon. 

That push toy next to him is a favorite. He likes to do laps around Grandma Tina's house using it to walk. 

Lights Lights Lights

Lights!
We all knew it would happen and it's here. Jack loves Christmas time. Not that he has any concept of Christmas but there are lights every where and he loves that. When we take our walks lately around the neighborhood he loves looking at the houses that are all lit up. We got our tree up this week and he's a big fan of that too. Of course we don't really allow him all access since he wants to pull down all the ornaments and eat them. Every still goes straight into the mouth with Jack.

Moving About:
Now an expert at crawling and climbing stairs in record time. He's dying to walk, but still needs to work up his nerve. But he pulls himself up using any piece of furniture or even just the wall and cruises around.

Talk to us:
He loves to talk to anyone who will listen and we can't wait till we can understand what he's saying. :) He of course still says his favorite word: Uh-Oh all the time and we actually think he really understands it since he only says it when he or someone else drops something. Just this morning I dropped my keys and he says to me "Uh Oh"
