Summer

Where has Summer gone? August starts tomorrow. Crazy! We now have a one year old boy and not a baby anymore! But he is still pretty cute and learning/growing so much everyday. I can't believe how much he has changed. We are looking forward to going camping at Blindsucker next weekend. Hope to get lots of pictures, agates, fish and blueberries.

Spring Peeper!

Well....we haven't been blogging lately. But since I had the week off I wanted to update everyone on Jack's status. He is growing like a weed.....as you can see in the flower bed. He now has one tooth and the second one is not far behind. He says Momma, Dadda, Hey, and some Kah word for Spike. He is moving all over and getting into everything. His favorite activity is playing in dirt....typical boy right. We no long have any house plants because it's just too much of a pain to keep the dirt cleaned up. He is working really hard on pulling himself up and will walk a few steps along furniture. It won't be long and I he will be running and not crawling away. He still loves taking baths and always seems to make his way into the bathroom when the water is running, even if it's not his time for a bath. He also has become a great eater. Right now his favorite foods are pizza, tacos, chicken, bbq ribs, yogurt and he does love his fruits and veggies too. We will be seeing most of you next week and are looking forward to that! Love Jack

March Maddness

Well as March comes to a close I realize that this month has flown by. Maybe it's because Jack keeps us so busy or maybe because I am getting cabin fever and can't wait for spring. Anyhow April is just a few days away....YEAH! We had a cold week and all our snow that has melted made a big muddy mess in our driveway...and it snowed once again. At least we aren't flooded like some of the others around here. Glenn had to help get water out of the clubhouse at work this week and Fargo is about to be sunk.
We just got back from our visit to Grandma's and are working on getting everything cleaned up and put away. Jack had a rough week. I don't know if he caught a bug in Michigan or if he's getting teeth but he's had a fever almost all week. He had to miss two days of day care but luckily Ron and Sarah Dawdy just came back so they helped out by watching him. Hopefully he'll get teeth soon and we will know what was causeing all the troubles. For now he's swinging away watching Robin Hood....or dreaming about Robin Hood.

Top of the 7th

Well...it's the last week in Feburary.....whoooooo! We are starting to get excited for spring. It has been a long winter and we can't wait to get back outside. Our daily walks have been put on hold this winter because it's just to cold for Jack to get outside. So Spike and I are starting to get cabin fever. Hopefully in about 3 weeks it should be warm enough for a stroll around the block. We have had a busy weekend scrapbooking away. I got a new machine that is like a printer that cuts all sorts of fun letters and pirate ships out. It makes it faster for me to scrapbook which is great! Before I spent lots of time cutting out each individual letter, now I just type them into a word document include any fun pirate ships or golf balls and hit cut. I can walk away do something else and come back and all my shapes are ready to be glued down.

I am also begining to plan my gardening for the summer. Each spring I have started some prennials in the house, I have had really good luck considering we don't have windows on the sunniest side. But it is fun to have some new ones to plant and to give them away too.

Jack is starting his 7th month today. He's been getting so big. I'll have to work on catching him crawling with the video cam this week. He can get around pretty good for a little twerp. He's got to be about the happiest baby ever. He got to take his first bath sitting up so here are some photos from that. He did tip over and bonk his head at the end but he took it like a man.

Here's a little Valentine's Day Greeting....We're not sure what the boy wonder is thinking in the picture but he sure has a funny look on his face. We are spending Valentine's Day waking up to little boys talking away, eatting some yummy Apple and Cherry Cereal for breakfast, playtime and scrapbook time (with the new Robo Craft Cutter!) and later tonight having a crab leg feast with Daddy after he gets done refreeing! Have a wonderful day. We LOVE you all.

It wasn't me...

We just happened to catch Jack's first words on video on our trip to Florida. However I'm not sure if I'm proud of him or not ?

Half Birthday Party

Wow! Six months already...sad my little baby is growing up too fast. He was suppose to get his six month shots yesterday but he got out of them. Lucky duck. It had only been seven weeks and not eight so now he gets them when we get back from Florida. I really wanted to know how much he weighs now and how long he is though.

Jack is getting so big. He usually sleeps through the night now (6-7 hours). Unless he's sick or pretending he's a baby. Lately we have only had to get up at 4 to feed him and then he is wide awake at 6:30...so we are still a little tired but it's getting much better.

He has mastered all the first baby foods. Applesauce, Pears, Peaches, Bananas, Sweet Potatoes, Squash, Carrots, Green Beans and Peas. Next we will have to work on the second foods and try some oatmeal cereal. His newest big boy sighting in the food department is drinking out of a cup. He loves cups. He grabs any cup within reach...so far I've only had a full cup of water spilled on me but watch out! He also loves his sippy cup. He is also getting some teeth. We have lots of slobber and chewing going on.

He is working on sitting up at daycare and home. He is great with support but gets really excited reaching for things and topples over. He has been spotted rolling over from belly to back and now back to belly. I also catch him scooting backwards...he doesn't get his belly up off the floor yet but he will end up facing different directions and in different spots on the floor. It is time to baby proof the house.

For his six month birthday party we had some baby carrots and peaches. He hasn't tried enough foods to have some cake yet. Bummer. He did get a new big boy car seat, we used a gift card that Glenn's employees had given to Jack. We picked out the golfer argyle one.

Now onto Laundry, Packing bags and making some thing for the church potluck. Have a good weekend Loved Ones!
