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"

Happy Thanksgiving 2006!

Here we are trying to get a picture of sister and brother with their respective babies. Jack and Grant didn't like the idea as much as the rest of us. This was the best shot among the many others. Don't be fooled, Grant is not asleep! 

 

 

 

Sam's Birthday Party

Jack got to show off his cow suit at Sam's Birthday costume party last weekend. There was live entertainment and lots of goodies. You can see here that Jack had a lot to say to the other guests. ;) This was right before Jack tried repeatedly to remove the socks of the baby girl cheetah next to him. We thought he only liked to remove his own socks, but apparently he doesn't like to see anyone with them on!

Baby Jack and Grandma Tina

Jack helped Grandma Tina hand out candy to all the neighborhood kids.
