A Post Meal Nosh

After eating dinner, Jack still needed a little something, so we made some sweet potato fries. Not content to leave them in the bowl, he spread them out on the table for close investigation. He started out eating them individually, but then remembered how much he likes the fries, so he jammed as much in his mouth as possible. I think his days of dainty, virtually mess-free eating are over!

Frying Pan Fun

I am starting to think that this particular pan will never make it back to the kitchen. Jack has so much fun playing with it. So far, he's put toys in it, taken them back out, used it as a hat, used it as a weapon, and he's also enjoyed standing with one foot inside it. And that was just today!

Rough and Tumble

Our little Jack is becoming a toddler. And he is such a boy. His favorite activities these days include slapping everything and banging the frying pan (stolen from the kitchen a few days ago) on furniture and toys, as well as his (extremely tolerant) sister. He may look innocent in today's picture, but let me be the first to tell you that this little guy is going to be quite the handful. Oh boy...

Caught You Being...

...naughty. You can just see it in his eyes! Most likely, he was contemplating a raid of the kitchen cupboards or another attack on the kleenex box. Not that he does those things regularly, or anything. I'm just guessing here :)

Where's Jack?

Today, let's play a little game. Your mission: find the baby in the giant pile of toys. With all these options, which did he choose to play with, you ask? Today, it was a frying pan he stole out of the dishwasher to beat against anything & everything in the living room. He then tore up some kleenex - perhaps he was seeking revenge from all that nose wiping? He also enjoyed pushing an empty cup around the apartment. He keeps busy, that is for sure!

Welcoming Committee

Thanks to the holidays, Jack has been enjoying having Daddy home a little more than usual. However, it was back to reality today. After working all day, Daddy came home to a little guy who was very glad to see him. Jack's happy little face sure makes for a nice welcome, don't you think?

Sick Day

Jack is feeling a bit under the weather with a little cold and cough. He has been rather grumpy today. He also seems to have developed an intense fear of kleenex. Whenever we get one out of the box to use for his runny nose, he crawls away as fast as he can. Once cornered, he screams and swats at us with his hands. We did try using boogie wipes, but he quickly realized that those were basically wet kleenex..and therefore suspect. He's too smart and he's got quite the little temper, too. Wonder where that came from?!?

I know the post has nothing to do with the picture of him reading. I assumed you didn't want to see a picture of him getting his nose wiped :)
