A Laugh to Make You Melt

Hey, just two pictures and two videos to share. But first...

In other news, Jack may have said his first word yesterday.

Stacey had opened his door in the morning, opened the window shade, and headed down to make his bottle for breakfast. I got up, walked into his room and he said: "Dada." No more, no less. Now, he has been saying "dadadada" and "mamamama" a lot. But he may actually know what he is talking about now. We are tentatively thinking he does. More testing is required.

He popped out a third tooth, so the drooling is back in full force. But he stopped spewing constantly - that is a trade-off I'm willing to take.

Alright, pictures. Stacey bought him a new hat the other day. Pretty sweet.




And two videos. The first one is from mid-April. The second, what amazing laughter!, is from about two weeks ago.

Way Too Long

It has been way too long since we last posted - sorry!
Let's catch up - prepare yourself for an explosion of photos and videos:

He's standing, crawling, pulling himself up - basically, Jack is everywhere! His little knees have been red for a while because this kid loves to keep on the move.





It's finally gotten warm enough for Jack to wear shorts. It didn't stay that way, but since he is naturally hot, he really enjoyed getting to shed some layers.






Not only does he like to crawl, he likes to climb. He flipped over this basket and the climbed on top of it. It gave him lay of the land and instant access to toys spread all around him.





At the end of April, some of Stacey's family came to visit from Colorado. Jack's Aunt Stephanie, and cousins Avery and Oliver made the trip. Oliver is just two weeks younger than Jack. See any family resemblance?





Time for a photo essay: At this point, Jack seemed to want to be ahead in the crawling race, so he chased Oliver down.

And slugged him a good one! (not really, but the randomly captured photo makes it look like that)




Here is Oliver, Aaron (Jack's best friend from across the street), and Jack lounging around the living room.




And of course, Avery loved to hang out with Jack.




He was so tired from playing with friends and cousins all week. Clearly, he was ready for bed.



Here's a picture from Mother's Day - Stacey's first!



And then, just some cute pictus of Jack in action around the house.
