Into the Holidays

Well, time for an update. It's been a busy two weeks, even though I (Adam) have been off work for the last week. Jack has been going through his first cold, which is no fun at all. Stacey has been sick - probably the one who gave it to him (kidding).

Anyway, he's getting bigger, stronger, and cuter than ever. Just the other day he was sitting on his bouncy seat and ripped on of the Velcro-ed animals off his play bar - twice!

I sort of think he looks like a super-hero in this one, as if he were flying.
Nevermind the drool.


Here's Jack on Thanksgiving morning.


He had a pleasant first Turkey day, getting all dressed up and
watching the parade with mom while dad played football.


Family photo time.


He had his Thanksgiving dinner. He was watching football.
And then he fell asleep on the couch. Yeah, I think he understands Thanksgiving.


On Saturday, we headed out to a Christmas tree farm to get Jack his first tree.


This was also his first excursion in one of his snowsuits.


He was being a typical infant and didn't want to help cut it down,
so I did it myself.



We decorated the tree and living room yesterday. We need to get him his first stocking and a Santa suit so he can drive his reindeer (our dog). We'll post that picture as soon as it happens.

Fall Delight

Time for some more pictures. Jack loves football. And it turns out, he loves walks too. With the beautiful weather we've had, Stacey took him for a walk with a hilarious result.
-------------------

Here they are before the walk.


Here they are after the walk.


And here is some quality father-son time during football.


I think this picture shows the beginning of a revelation. "Hmm...oh...oh yeah. Yeah, now I get it. That's cool."

End of the Month

Well, October has come and gone and Jack is 10 weeks old now! He's enjoyed his first bonfire, his first Charlie Brown TV special, and his first Halloween. Here are some odds-and-ends pictures (and a video) from the end of the month.



He has neck muscles now!




Check out those dimples!




This is Jack and his cousin, Oliver. They are just two weeks apart.
Stacey's brother and family came for a visit.



Get it? He's a Jack-0-lantern. A JACK-o-lantern!






This video is entirely too long, but there's definitely some cute stuff here.
