10 months

On Sunday, Jack celebrated his 10 month day. Two months away from ONE YEAR. Oh my goodness.
 
He's aproximately 20.5 lbs. He is still eating like a rock star and is not picky at all. The ONLY thing we've had any kind of inclination that he doesn't like is watermelon...and to be honest, I'm not too sure he dislikes it, I just think the texture throws him off. He is INSANE over strawberries. If he sees them he freaks and wants NOTHING else but his strawberries. So, at dinner time we have to hide the strawberries until he has eaten his meat and veggies. The boy loves BOTH meat and veggies. We usually have hot dogs, ham or chicken, but we have tried lamb, roast beef and turkey. His favorite veggies are broccoli, especially broccoli covered in cheese. He eats SO much!!
 
He's still a dancing machine. He will stop whatever he's doing if a song comes on that he likes and just rock out. It is so cute! He's standing on his own and can take about 3-4 steps on his own. He is not far from walking full on by himself. Lord, help us all when that happens! When he is not standing/walking, he is crawling. He crawls now, but will still go to the army crawl method if he wants to get somewhere FAST.

He is FEARLESS. He will dive into anything without worrying about the consequences, which results in lots of boo-boos and mommy freaked out ALL THE TIME. I sure hope he gains some cautiousness, otherwise I'll stroke out by the time he's 10!! He's a very active little boy, always wants to be on the go. He doesn't care for just sitting and relaxing. He wants to move and play!
 
His big phrase now is "uh oh." Everything is "uh oh." Or "buh-bye." He says "ma ma" and "da da" and "ba ba" (which is different from "buh-bye"), but he still doesn't say "ma ma" or "da da" much. He mainly just jabbers, and he LOVES to talk. (Gee, I wonder where he got THAT from???).
 
He is sleeping from 8pm to about 6am. We get up for the day between 6:15-6:30 and he is only taking one nap. He refuses to take an afternoon nap. He thinks he is a big boy and needs to be playing with the toddlers at Mrs. Cece's house.
 
He has one top tooth and two bottom teeth, with a second top tooth cutting right now (so that's fun...).
 
We're enjoying the summer evenings, going to the swimming pool or walking around the neighborhood. We have lots of fun and are looking forward to mommy getting out of school (one more week!!) so we can go on play dates and other fun things!

Happy birthday Mac!!

My nephew, Walter Arthur "Mac" was born this morning at 7:57am. He was 7lb., 6oz, 20.5" long. He is perfect and Jack can't wait to play with him!! ;) His mommy is sore, but other than that, mom and baby are both great!

Little man went to the lake for the very first time. his Uncle Bubba and cousins came too. This is the first of MANY trips...as my family LOVES the lake and Moogie and Grandpa are even talking about getting a lake house! ;) He did really good. We didn't get him in the water today, it was a little cold...he really liked going "fast" on the boat.

Little man and I spent the evening in our front yard. We chatted with neighbors (because it's GORGEOUS here, everyone was out!), blew bubbles (ok, well, I blew the bubbles, J watched), played in the grass and shared lots of giggles. We have a busy weekend ahead of us. We're going to the lake for the first time tomorrow, a house warming party and our swimming pool opens. Woo hoo! Summer is almost here!!

What a fun day!! I had to work this morning, so Daddy and little man came to visit (that's a shot of him with my headset on and him watching the show-he loves the lights and music!). When I got off, we went to the Greek Food Festival. Little man got to try a piece of lamb, helped us with our veggies and then had his first Popsicle (he shared with Daddy). When we got back home, we got out the kiddie pool and J splashed around while Daddy took some practice swings with the golf club and I watched my two favorite boys. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Now I'm sitting on my back deck listening to the sounds of summer coming in. Love it!

We are so excited that the weather has finally gotten warm enough to play outside. This is what we did today after school while we waited for Daddy to get home. ;)

My first Mother's Day was perfect. Tim let me sleep in AND take a nap. We went to church, shopping, brunch, did yard work, had lots of giggles and snuggles. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day with my boys. My cup runneth over and I thank God every second of every day for these blessings He has bestowed upon me.

We went to our church festival on Sunday. J had a lot of fun eating grass and getting his toes in a pile of dirt for the first time! (And yes, he's wearing a jacket in May since we had winter like temps on Friday and Saturday! It was still a little chilly on Sunday)
