13 months....

Dad, hurry up, I've gotta get in there!

This is how I eat breakfast in the mornings :)

Mom, geez, someone has to clean this place!!

My grandpa gave me this snazzy outfit!

Updates:

Let's see...

Jack got his 5th tooth right in time to eat Turkey! It just popped through the Monday before Thanksgiving!

He is getting better at "Itsy Bitsy Spider". He is really good at the spider sign. He always claps and says "yeay" at the end. Either he really loves it, or he is glad Mom is done singing :) He especially loves when Mom and Dad sing together with him ;)

Jack LOVES going to "school" and the kids absolutely LOVE him! One mom said that over the weekend her and her daughter were talking about how cute Jack is :) When he gets there all of the kids run up to him and yell "HI Jack Jack!" He gets lots of hugs!

We went to Uncle Bub's and Aunt Margaret's to "celebrate" Sean's 2nd birthday. Sean and Jack "played" a little -some peek-a-boo. It was super cute! I little glimpse of what it will hopefully be like in the future. It's amazing to think back to Sean's 1st birthday and to look at the pictures....Jack was only 6-7 weeks old!

Jack's walking is getting better and better everyday. We go for walks up and down the street without the stroller now. He likes to run. He loves to dance. He is so wonderful and so fun! He is such a good boy. He knows to hold my hand when we go into the elevator and walk in the parking garage. One time Aunt Madonna told Aidan to cough into his arm and now Jack does it! He catches on so fast!

I would say as far as "talking" he says "dada" "mama" (when he is whiny and needs something :) waves bye-bye and hello. Says "hi" "uh-oh". We think he is starting to give kisses (they are messy, open mouthed kisses :) and I think he is saying "Mwah" afterwards. Other than real words, he still talks up a storm as far as babbling! (like daddy ;) Sabina (his daycare teacher) said he is always telling all sorts of stories to the other kids ;)

Halloween 2011

Jack's first Jack-O-Lantern!

Which was really more for mom's entertainment because Jack wanted nothing to do with it! When I was carving it I tried to get him into it but he just fell on the floor and cried when I tried to show him the pumpkin parts!

(I also tried to capture Jack's teeth pattern too!

But the Jack-O-Lantern's top tooth fell off)

Jack did SO good at Trick-Or-Treating!
I was surprised! He actually walked and carried his bucket up to
the houses! He thought he was so tough and one of the big kids :) He was so cute! In fact, I brought the stroller but he never once went in it! We only went to a few houses because it was so close to his dinner/bedtime. I have been so excited to see what the rich people give at Halloween in my neighborhood ever since we moved here! :) SO, I finally go to find out!....they all give out big king sized candy bars instead of the mini ones!

Sometimes he got a little distracted by the leaves in the grass, hence the wet/dirty butt.

(see above)



Hmmm, checking out my loot.

Jack did seem to like picking out his pumpkin! It was a beautiful Fall day. We all took a family walk to the place on Wells in Old Town where we also get our Christmas Trees. Of course Jack wanted the biggest pumpkins they had :)

This is at dinner after we got the pumpkin...

I can feed myself!
