Jack "Walking"

Jack likes to use his toy as a walker and goes back and forth in the condo- he is a big boy! He is so proud of himself too, it is really cute.

Jack's 1st Halloween

Today was the Halloween celebration in our neighborhood. We learned two things- 1. When your kid can walk, people are more willing to give you candy and 2. There are some really cute costumes out there. Jack was a monkey, here are some pictures of his costume. He also was entered in a costume contest through this photo boutique in the area and those pictures will be up in a week or so on their website (http://www.jookiekids.com/ in their blog area). Oh, Jack also ate a banana when in the monkey costume which he thoroughly enjoyed.

Jack's bear can swim...

Pumpkins and teeth...

We took Jack to a park near our house today that had a pumpkin patch and also a lot of kids stuff for Halloween. We played in the pumpkin patch and also the petting zoo- it was lots of fun. We also got to meet Jack's new friend Benny (no pictures together yet :) and on the way to visit them I noticed that Jack had a fifth tooth! It is on the right bottom side of the two teeth he already has in the middle...he has been really bitey a lot but not too cranky at all!

Jack Loves Bananas and Chicklets

Here are pictures from the last few days. The first is of Jack eating a banana. It is so cute, he takes a bite out of it and then eats it all up that way. The other picture is on a personal request from Jack's Gran to see his chicklets (top teeth). He really struck a pose for this one!

Jack waving and his new toy!

We got Jack one of those push and ride little playskool toys and he really likes it. He hasn't quite figured it out yet but he likes both the push and the ride aspects. He figured out that if he pushes his feet the toy will scoot backwards so he likes that. Here is a picture of him on it. Also, yesterday, Jack decided to start waving. He first waved at his poop when we flushed it down the toilet and now will wave at people. He is so Carl's son :-) This is a video of him waving at me at breakfast this morning...enjoy!

Our recent visit to Fort Wayne

Last weekend we made a spur of the moment (if that is possible with a nine-month old baby) trip to see our family. We all met up at Gran and Pa's house in Fort Wayne and had a great time over the weekend. Jack got to see his cousins, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts and uncles! We had a good time and really enjoyed our family. Here are some pictures from the weekend of Jack with Uncle Joe, Auntie Lindsay, Mallory and Victoria.
