My Baby Can Read!

Just kidding on that reading thing. Although lately, Jack has been very into looking at magazines and books. Or pretty much anything he can grab while rolling around on the floor. He started out playing peek a boo in the blanket, then somehow twisted himself up in it. Then he needed a little reading material for entertainment. He really does have baby toys...you'd just never know it by looking at what he chooses to play with and chew on!

Staring Contest

Jack's favorite person in the house is definitely his Daddy. Oh sure, he has fun playing with Cassady & me, but Daddy's the one who gets the big belly laughs. Jack likes to sit and stare at Daddy, demanding attention and he becomes rather disgruntled if he's ignored. Not that he's ever ignored...he's quite skilled at getting what he wants, when he wants.

Cheerio, Dahling!

Since acquiring two very sharp little teeth, Jack has been all about biting anything he can get into his mouth. His very favorite items to gnaw on seem to be my cell phone, an old pair of Cassady's sunglasses and Cheerios. He still can't get the cereal in his mouth very well, but once we've helped him, he'll say "Mmmm!" Another fun thing to do with Cheerios? Dump the bowl all over the floor and watch Mommy pick them up. Then do it again. Repeat until bored. Then find the sunglasses :)

Catch Him If You Can

Jack is thisclose to crawling. He gets up on his hands & knees now, and will rock back and forth before collapsing back down into the carpet. He uses a combination of scooches (generally backwards) and rolls (usually to the left) to get around for the time being. I think it's only a matter of time before he will be on the go. I'd better finish up the baby-proofing!


Could he look any more like his Daddy? Jack is quickly becoming a mini-me :)

Jack Attack

Poor little seahorse never saw it coming....

Makin' A Splash!

Someday Jack might be a little upset that there are so many bath time pictures. With a happy little face like that, though, how can I possibly resist the urge to capture the moment? He's learning to splash now, which makes his baths a bit more challenging. He thinks it is funny to slam both hands down, and will giggle when the water gets all over. I think the days of docilely sitting while being scrubbed are behind us!

Concentrate!

Can you guess what he's doing?
