Hope all is well. Life with Jack has been lots of fun this last week. He's into grabbing, sitting, army crawling and now walking in his walker more than ever. He's obsessed with the walker! I had to get a different one since the one we first bought him was about 4 inches too tall. By the time he grew into it, he would likely be walking on his own. I found one on Craigslist and its the perfect height. He was SO proud when he took his first steps in it. He's figuring out that he can now follow us, or go off on his own. I took him outside yesterday evening while I was grilling dinner and he loved it. The wind was blowing because a storm was rolling in and he had THE biggest smile on his face. He just kept squealing and smiling and then would take a step. We had to put shoes on him since we were outside, and he wasn't sure what to do. Then he saw my plants, and quickly rolled over to it, took a handful and tried to eat them. Sigh. Welcome to a mobile baby I guess :) Jon and I have got to get started baby proofing!
Tuesday he had his big photo shoot. He was exhausted by the time we got started, so he wasn't his normal smiley self, but I think it turned out pretty good. I thought it was still between him and other babies, but apparently, he is it. So, Jack will now be on the instruction manual and the face for Blueberry Diaper's buggy bag elite :) She said she would send me the finished product once it's available. I'll share once we get it.
Today we had swim lessons and he did great. He's still not kicking very much, but he's having a great time. At least he's enjoying the water and seems to love Miss Amy.
Jack has turned into quite the rough kiddo. At our play dates he and Eli are stealing all the girls toys and grabbing arms, legs, and anything else they can get their hands on. When I try to tell him "soft" and put his hand to my face gently, he cracks up at me...same thing when I tell him "no". I can already tell this is going to be a long road.
We had dinner with our friends Abby & Drew this past weekend. I can't believe how quickly these boys are growing up! Brady is already about as tall as Jack haha! He's such sweet boy. It was nice to hold him and have him cuddle up, rather than turning his head in every direction and reaching for everything in sight...ahem, Jack! I miss the cuddly stage, but it's been so much fun to see Jack master these new skills. Looking back, I can't believe how tiny he was. It is so cliché, but they really do grow up so fast.
Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful week. We are off to the farmers market to get some squash. Hopefully Jack likes it :)
Lots of love,
The Waags
