Phew... six months down!

Everyone says time goes fast with a baby, and it does... kind of.... My sister said it best: "the days are long but the years go fast". That's definitely true on those days when all Jack wants is ME. But I wouldn't have it any other way. He is my little shadow and brings me so much joy.

This month marked six months and he is still alive and thriving in my care:) He is growing so much. On our last doctor's visit he was 27" long and 16 lbs. Way to go buds you doubled your weight from birth and grew almost 7 inches!

This is what Jack's been up to lately.

He likes to play with Sarah and Rachel (and a neighborhood kid happens to be in this shot).

He gnaws on everything he can grab!

He likes to play the piano. He may just be a prodigy... you never know!

He likes to watch us clean house... vacuuming and loading/unloading the dishwasher can entertain him for a very long time. (the pink excersaucer is a hand-me-down)

The kid loves to eat... surprised he's only 16 lbs.

And he loves his scooter... even if he just sits on it and plays with the toys.

And maybe one day he'll actually have some interest in crawling. At this point I would be happy if he just showed more interest in rolling around, but for now he just scoots around on his back until he hits something and can't scoot anymore. But it is the small steps; at least he doesn't throw a fit the minute he is placed on his tummy anymore!

Really Jack brings his family so much joy. He has a funny personality that makes everyone smile when he's around. He loves to cuddle and give big wet kisses all over your face, and his giggles and screams of delight make us all laugh. We're so happy he is here!

Snow Again???

I'm sure everyone in Utah/Idaho would prefer I not visit these states. In my past four visits, I have brought snow and stormy weather. My poor little man doesn't weather the cold too well.

How could we stay away though. Jack enjoys hanging out with his cousins way too much. We first went to Pocatello to visit the Taylors. Jack had a great time at the Easter Egg Hunt being wheeled around by Avery.

He enjoys watching all the kids play and of course all the attention. Cousins are the best baby sitters!

Jack loved staying at Grandma's house and having Grant there to entertain him.

After we wrecked Grandma's house we jumped down to Aunt Teresa's to pull out all her old baby toys too. Again cousins, Max and Cooper were great entertainers for Jack. And they loved the return of their old baby toys.

And why is it that all toddlers want to be babies again as soon as they see a baby. I couldn't resist posting this picture of Cooper chillin' in his old bouncy seat eating breakfast.

We had a great time with everyone. Thanks for letting us crash your houses!
