Jack Talks!

Well, baby talk. He just started babbling on the day my mom left for Australia. Now I have to wait 16 days to tell her! He says : momma, dadda, glagla and gaga. He has no idea what he is saying, but I LOVE listening to him!! I am trying to catch it on video but everytime I try, he stops. He is even talking as I write this! It's so fun to hear him say things other than "ahh" all the time.

Fun times on rainy days!

Happy Father's Day!

Rainy day fun (which includes climbing over mommy)

With so much rain outside, Jack and I have been busy inside. He has been practicing standing everywhere he can, and I have been packing/organizing the house, getting ready for the move.

Jack, Chad, my dad and Greg (and all the rest of us) enjoyed a great Father's Day! We had a bbq here at our house and then they guys watched golf and napped. The rest of us, myself, MaryLou, my mom and Cheryl all went paint shopping for colors for the new house. We had a little too much fun at Home Depot! However, we did find some good colors!

Jack be nimble, Jack is QUICK!

You can definitely NOT turn your back away for a second. Or even get water in this instance.

How do we break out of this joint?

Jack and his friend Ruby

Jack is a fast little guy!! When he spots something that he wants, he will stop at nothing. And boy does he pick up speed to get there!! He is still army crawling, but he has it down! Our house looks like a disaster but that only because he likes to drag things around with him, and I baby proofed by putting everything up. We had to move our coffee table downstairs because this one is made of marble and I didn't want any injuries. He is pulling himself up on everything! I have even caught him trying to stand with no hands! I am excited to see him walking!

NO MORE WORK!!

Happy boy after nap!

Yup, I learned to stand on my own AND pull myself up!

Yesterday was my last day at Sylvan! It was hard to say goodbye, but I am thrilled to be home permanently with my little man. And Jack was sooo excited for this that he slept all the way through the night without wanting a bottle!! Woohoo!

In other news Jack is cutting his 8th tooth. The last two were really bad (the top front). He was sooo crabby last week. I have never seen him like that before. Thankfully this last one isn't so bad and he is almost back to his happy self! He also learned to stand on his own! One morning I turned on his video monitor because I heard he was awake and there he was, standing in his crib!! Now he tries to stand everywhere!!
