Still NO TEETH! John calls Jack the "toothless athletic genius"! He will probably walk before he has teeth!

We went to Maggie's house to see baby Ellie. Only a week old! Such a good girl (Jack's bride-to-be!?!? ;) Molly Reaves' boys (Patrick 4 yrs, Thomas 6months) were there too. So fun for all of us to have kids, and mostly boys, all so close together

7/11-16
Nikki, Brandon and KAYLEE came in to visit! Jack got to meet his cousin!! He LOVES her! He stares at her and laughs and "talks" to her :)We all went to Union Pier, MI for a Rudzinskis family reunion. SOOOOO fun!!!! Everybody was there. It was in a huge house in walking distance from the beach. Jack did GREAT! He slept until 10 every morning! He must have been tuckered out from all the activities/stimulation. John's cousin Rosemarie has a little girl named Jordan who is almost 2. Jack thought she was hysterical! He laughed so hard everytime he saw her! It was priceless! As usual, Jack was a hit! Everyone commented on how "smiley" and "happy" he always is. I mean ALWAYS!So far....Jack is almost walking. He will walk while he holds onto someone's hands. But he wants to walk sooo badly!!

Happy 6th Anniversary to Mom and Dad! Jack spent another night at Grandma and Grandpa's! Everyone had a great time, as usual. Jack "didn't make a peep" once again. He does great at eating and sleeping no matter where he is :) The wedding was at the Westin in Itasca. Mom and Dad had a great timing together. Mom had a great time dancing with daddy :)
