And We're Back...

Time to catch up. Jack is getting big, big, big. And he will be 6 months old on Saturday!!!
Some recent milestones include:
  • His first veggies.
  • His second trip out of the state.
  • He attended his first birthday party.
  • He had his second double ear infection.
  • His first weekend alone with just dad.
  • His first solo trip across the room by rolling over and over and over again.
  • His first Super Bowl.


This pictures shows the Smith in him - sleeping with his hands up.
Occasionally, he'll sleep with his hand on his forehead - just like mom and Grandpa Smith.


Stacey went to Colorado for a weekend, to visit her brother and family.
So, we had a bachelor's weekend that started with arm wrestling.
Later that night, the furnace went out and it hit 50 degrees.
Not a great start, but we survived the weekend - capped with his first Super Bowl party.



Here, Jack is getting his first taste of vegetables!
We started out with green beans (of the baby variety of course).
He loved them and has moved on to include peas too!
Maybe we'll try squash this week.



Two videos here: The first is his inaugural attempt at veggies. When he's in the mood, he'll eat like there's no tomorrow. The unfortunate thing is, when he doesn't want any more, with no warnings, he'll just start doing raspberries (buzzing his lips). It's a very clear message and we learned what it meant rather quickly.

The second is his gallant efforts at crawling. It's so funny to walk with just start shaking and flapping every limb in an effort to move forward. One day, he just rolled all the way across the room. He'll get there soon enough.

lots of firsts (and a few seconds). He is getting BIG! Fun.

Sooo cute! He is waaaaaay better at eating than Oliver! He actually opens his mouth! What a novel idea! Love the flapping arms! Hard to believe in a few short months, they'll be crawling all over the place!

And don't you worry Adam. I fully expect a few more big storms with several inches of snow. But it will be gone the next day, probably! :)
