Latest Update- 6 months old today!



Phew, time gets away from me it seems! There has been a lot going on since Labor Day.

Tomorrow is his 6 month visit, so there will be more after that, but here is all the great things he has done. In our opinion, and yes, we're biased.

1. Sits up on his own for a while

2. Rolls, scoots, or moves backwards to get where he wants to go.

3. Gets up on his hands and toes (but stops there)

4. Loves, and I mean, loves, to eat

5. Babbles to himself, to his toys, and to us. "Da-da-da" usually, or "yum-um-um" when he's eating.

6. Smiles and laughs when he sees Daddy.

7. Smiles and laughs when he sees pictures of people he knows (or people he knows) - especially his cousin Emerson. :)

8. Fits in size 2 diapers now!

9. Drinks from a bottle (finally)

10. Fascinated by Seamus and Pokie, or any picture of a cat.

11. Knows his name fairly well.

So, that is an impressive list, even if it's me talking. We think he may be getting teeth soon because he's reverted to not being able to fall asleep on his own, and wakes up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep like he used to be able to. :( Hope this ends soon.

He has been a trooper despite Scott's having to work 6 and 7 day weeks. Scott and I are both exhausted from it, but for the most part, Jack has been cheerful, despite not being "sleep-full"

Oh, and my latest favorite shot -


"Cousin, I can't take you anywhere!"

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
