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.

The Proof is in the Pudding

Jack is definitely crawling - it's not a judgment call, it's a fact.

However, it's hard to catch him crawling a sizable distance. So, these videos aren't long. I had to keep cutting off for one of two reasons:

a) he was about to grab something he shouldn't (can you say babyproof?)
b) every time I say 'come here', the dog comes pouncing in

But our kid is definitely crawling. It's a whole new world.

Move Videos

Video #1

Jack loves to jump. Whether he is in a jumper or not, the kid loves to jump. And recently, he started picking his feet up after jumping in his freestanding jumper - it's almost like a ride for him. Pretty hilarious. (note: it looks like he isn't wearing anything below the waist, but he is - promise).





Video #2

Jack also has an amazing laugh. He's ticklish (of course he is - he's a Bouse baby). And it just makes you melt to listen to him laugh. Love that kid!
