The Midnight Snack

Well...technically it wasn't midnight when Jack decided that he needed a little something in his tummy. Naturally, he decided on Cheerios and a few biter biscuits. He tries very hard to eat the Cheerios without help - and he is getting better at it. The biter biscuits are easier for him, but they're super messy. Plus, then he doesn't get in the self feeding practice. And, it's really fun to watch him wrestle a Cheerio & he gets all excited when he gets it into his mouth. He's fed and we're entertained. It's a win-win!

The Repeat

I know we just did the super happy close up yesterday, but how was I supposed to resist this face? You're welcome to try...I just don't see how it's possible. We'll return to our normal levels of cuteness tomorrow. I don't want to overwhelm anyone :)

The Checklist

Chubby cheeks? Got 'em.
Big blue eyes? Check.
Slightly pointy ears? Got those too.
Giant smile? Of course!

He's got everything on the list. Jack's officially adorable!


Disclaimer: This checklist was compiled by a totally unbiased source...His Mommy :)

The Piano Man

His legs are the best part...love those kickin' dance moves!

Silly Siblings

Here's a good reason to wait ten years between having your babies: Cassady and Jack adore each other. I realize that as Jack gets older/more mobile/more verbally inclined, this may change just a bit, but for now..I love it.

Where's The Beef?

Why, all over Jack's face of course! He has had it for dinner for the past week, and still gets excited about having more. A true test of how much Jack is enjoying a particular meal is to check how much he spilled. If he got his food all over himself, he didn't like it. If he does like it, he gets as much in his mouth as he can - no waste allowed. Other than a few traces on his chin, he was pretty clean after this meal. He is definitely not going to be a vegetarian anytime soon!

Game Night

Here's more proof that Jack is brilliant: he loves to play Scrabble with Mommy and Daddy. So what if he just likes holding the bag of letters, rather than actually forming words. His interest in the game shows that he is incredibly advanced. Right?


Disclosure time: After this photo was taken, he dropped the bag & went for the Cheerios scattered around his jumperoo. Hmmm. Maybe we should just focus on developing the pincer grasp so he can pick up his own Cheerios...
