Christmas Eve

This is how we rolled today!

:)

J still loves eating but it hasn't gotten any more tidy! :)

Overload

We went to world market the other day and jack had complete color/thing/excitement overload! We walked around just exactly like this the entire time!

Peek!

A light scratching at the office door... and hello!

Oh!

Our Christmas tree is up. Before we started decorating it, we wanted to let Jack see and get to experience the lights.

He loved it and I couldn't help but snap a few pictures.

 

Sometimes it's just such a hard life!

Half year!!

Guess who turned 6 months old yesterday?!

25 weeks!

Jacks Halloween

This year we went to a friend's house for a little Halloween party and then came home to hang out with family and hand out candy.

Jack didn't dress up in a full costume, but instead wore a sweet onesie Kirsten bought him. Mr T!

 

 

 

 

 

Vote!

We voted today!

 

 

I have such a kind thoughtful husband.

Auntie love

now this is an aunt who loves her nephew!!


(she gave him the monkey months ago and he loves it!)

Walks

The weather's starting to cool a bit (its sad when you consider the mid 80s cool) so we're taking full advantage and resuming our evening walks!

Jack loves them and often spends the first half looking around and talking to us and whatever else he sees. Toward the end he starts voicing his (strong willed) desire to be free of his stroller.

Behind the scenes: The arrangement shown in the pic below, though picturesque and enjoyable, didn't last long. Immediately following, Jack threw up on my head :) I should've known better! Life with Jack.

Away

Hugh had a conference in Orlando last week and so Jack and I tagged along. It started out a bit rough with Jack refusing to sleep at all the first night there... But it got better and turned into a great little getaway.

(I wish I could put these photos in better order but can't seem to figure out how on my phone! Sorry!)

9

Happy 9 year meet-aversary!

I'm a bit late on this post (I'll blame it on the little one's recent aversion to sleep) but Hugh and I recently celebrated 9 years together!

Earning his keep

Quiet

Jack often doesn't like taking a nap. So when he wakes up early, he often has a little quiet time in his crib. Here he's just hanging out watching the fish in his aquarium...

Teeth

J has started teething and recently decided to read up on the pesky things
