Friday Fun

After a week full of work, school and being busy...Jack just needs some time to unwind. He spent the evening eating pizza, playing with Daddy, hiding my iPod (I still can't find it...even after searching for almost an hour), annoying Cassady and her friend, jumping in his Johnny Jump Up, dancing (until I got out the camera - so I have yet to capture his cool moves), , destroying the living room/getting all his toys out, and trying to steal my camera. He also practiced being as cute as possible - so that all the not-so-fun things listed didn't really matter one bit! (except the missing iPod - I'd really like to find that!!)

He's Certainly Not Camera Shy...

Jack and I spent our day preparing for Grammie's visit tomorrow. We are very excited to see her, especially since we have not seen her since our vacation in June. In addition to helping me with a few chores, Jack also played with his toys, grudgingly took a few naps and had a few yummy meals and snacks. He stays quite busy, but always manages to take time out to flash his adorable smile at the camera. He is quite the little ham!

Biggest Smile Ever

I think the title says it all :)

Un Nouveau Chapeau Pour Jacques

With the weather turning downright chilly lately, we bought a hat for Jack today. His head is too big for the infant sized headwear, so we bought an adult cap for him. It's knitted, but the inside is lined with super soft fleece. He doesn't seem to mind it too much, and only took it off after it slipped down over his eyes. Tomorrow we are off to get some fall/winter clothes for him. I think we are going to be getting 18 month sized items, just to make sure he doesn't outgrow it all too quickly. He's getting so big now!

Sidenote: Jack put himself to sleep tonight. I let him play in his crib, and after about 10 minutes he fell fast asleep. It's a miracle!!

Jack's Pearly Whites

Today I braved Jack's ire and managed to photograph his new teeth (sort of). You can see three of his new top teeth in the first picture (he has 4). I know it looks as though I am torturing him, and if he could talk, I am sure that he would agree with that assessment of today's photo shoot. The second photo shows off his winning smile - and two bottom teeth. He had snacks in hand, and therefore was much more cooperative for that picture!

The Show-Off

After a few fussy days and sleepless nights, Jack sprouted a pair of bottom teeth. He prefers to keep them hidden, (except when nursing...ouch!) so it's rather difficult to get photographic evidence of their existence. Here they are, in all their tiny glory. They may not look like much, but they're certainly equal to the task of chomping Cheerios!
