Jack and his cane

He walks around all day with that cane!

He loves it!

Birthday Boy!

This little boy is 10 months old today!

Smarty Pants!

I don't usually let Jack play with cords, although he would love it if I let him play with them all day long. But I wanted to document how smart he is! He has been doing this for a couple of months but I still think it is amazing! Enjoy....

Fun, Fun, Fun...

Have I posted this picture? I just love it, no problem with seeing it again!

Still the same 4 teeth he has had for months now...

Awww, seeeepy baby...

We are using all kinds of tricks to get him to walk to us! The "rattle in the mouth" is my favorite!

Little Bluebeard

We had blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning. I am not so sure it was the best idea. We will see after we give him a bath!

He loved them! He was yelling for more....

9 Month Dr. Appt

Baby Jack had his appt. at the dr.'s this morning. He is 21lbs and 30 inches tall! He is growing so fast!

Here he is, still in newborn diapers just 9 months ago....

This picture is from the other day, in much bigger diapers...

At the Park

We took Jack to the park this evening. He had so much fun!

Here he is going down the slide...(just turn the volume down if all of our squealing gets annoying ;))

Here he is swinging...

Another first

Well, it finally happened. Jack got his first big boo boo. It happened Sunday morning. He was crawling by the table and hit his mouth on the bottom of it. See my shoulder :( Poor baby. Jason took the picture (at 6am) to document it.

4th of July

Here is Jack and Uncle Johnny doing some bonding over some beers. How sweet. You can tell he really cares about Jack by the way he is craddling him so nicely and tipping the bottle just enough so that he doesn't choke on the beer. Awww ;)

Here is a little video of Jack's first time watching fireworks at his Grammy's house. It is just sparklers but he loved it. We went out the next day and bought more!

Stay Out!

So today I was doing some work on the computer and Jack was upstairs napping. I started to hear some moving around on the monitor but then nothing for awhile, and then ---- alot of strange noises, like banging and clicking. We have nothing in the crib but Jack's little blanket so I had no idea what could be making these noises. I decide to sneak of the stairs and peek at what going on. Here it is:

Stairs

So Jack decided crawling is for babies, he is just going to do the stairs like everyone else - just watch!

Jamestown

On the last day we went to Jamestown. I really liked it there. The building was beautiful and everything was really interesting.

Jack is playing with Nonnie in the hallway.

Taking a ride on Aunt Kate's shoulders.

Peeking out of a Powhattan hut.

Aboard a replica of one of the ships bringing the first Jamestown settlers.

Jack helped me do some laundry when we got home Thursday night. What a little sweetie!

The ride home was so much better!! We left around 2pm on Thursday and Jack slept almost the whole way to Altoona so we didn't stop. We found a way to avoid DC and it ended up being very relaxing and faster! We got home around 11pm (we had to stop at a Target when we had the chance!) and let Jack crawl around! He hadn't crawled all week (hotel room floors are gross) so I wondered if he would even remember. Boy did he! I think he is faster than ever!

It was a great trip and now I feel so much better about traveling with a little one! We are going to have to plan a few more big trips this summer!

Busch Gardens

We went to Busch Gardens on Wedensday. It was great park, very friendly and very clean. My favorite part was a little cabin in the middle of the park that was specifically for changing diapers! It was super cool in the cabin and clean! Made changing so easy.
Jason's favorite part was "The Griffin". It was an insane roller coaster that had you stopped at the top of a drop for what seemed like a really long time and then whoosh! I was scared watching it! Jason and Katie went on it twice and in this picture they are in the very front row! I think they are the fourth and fifth from the end. The was almost no wait or the ride or any rides. The longest they had to wait was about 10 minutes!!
They are riders 3 and 4 in the this picture.

Jack got to ride on a train. He had lots of fun! He also got to ride on the riverboat but slept the whole time :)

Jack, meeting Bert and Ernie for the first time.

Nonnie is trying on all the different hats for Jack. He loved it!
