Happy Halloween

We had amazing weather here today and enjoyed our Halloween. We hope you did too!

11 months old

So we made it through 11 months. One more month of being Baby Jack. He weighs in at 20 pounds 6 ounces.

As Bryan emailed me today:

"Amazing how fast that went by. Even though it has been and still is a challenge, it is soooo worth it!"

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Jack's O'Lanterns

Well our first pumpkin patch is here. Jack is enjoying our new backyard landscaping...

First Ear Infection

So it has been a little bit since our last post. Here are a few updates:

Last weekend Jack made his first appearance at the urgent care clinic, diagnosis- ear infection...

We must be pretty lucky to have such a heathly kid. He was in pretty good spirits even though he was under the weather. We all enjoyed a little more cuddle time to help him feel better.

The bond between Jack and his Monkey grows stronger every day. We have yet to find a back up, but we are teaching Jack to keep his monkey in his bed so we don't loose it. When we let his monkey out of his bed he is SO excited. Here are a few photos from the other morning...

As for Newman and Jack, still thick as theives. When Jack is playing with a toy, Newman watches trying to figure out how to get it. When Newman is playing with a toy, Jack waits to see if he can get his hands on it and will not let it go. Who needs siblings when you have Newman! (Jack loves to be so close he doesn't understand why ON TOP of Newman is too close. That is when the camera had to stop...sorry)

Jack is also working on some MAJOR milestones. He is cruising all over and learning about all the things at a higher altitude at our place. He has yet to walk and most likely will NOT until he celebrates his first birthday...(thank you very much) but here are a few photos of him exploring our place...

That last photo deserves a name, or a frame. You choose.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend, now it is time to clean for me...
