Class Picture

I love all their little faces in this picture and I think it is amazing that no one is crying. These are all of Jack's friends from school. He is one of the youngest so the ages range from 15 months -18 months. I'm not sure how his teachers keep up with them all! Because Jack has an easy name to pronounce several of the older girls get so excited when they see him now and can shout "ack" "ack". It's too cute.

The Zoo

As you can tell, Jack wasn't all that interested in the zebras.

He was fascinated by the meerkat. I love his little face in this picture (although there is something on our camera lens blurring the shot).

He also wasn't sure he wanted to participate in the brushing of the goats. He's a pretty cautious kid when it comes to new things.

We enjoyed our first family trip to the zoo today. It was a beautiful day so the zoo was actually pretty crowded. Jack was funny in that he wasn't all that interested in the animals - but mostly wanted to play in all the bushes and trees at the zoo and watch all the other little kids who were running around. Oh well...there were several animals that seemed to attract his attention. The birds and meerkat (is the plural of meerkat "meerkats"?) were some of his favorites and he also liked watching the sharks swimming in their aquarium. Hopefully soon I'll be able to download some better pictures taken by his Aunt Lainee (visiting on her Spring Break).

Push Ups

So, I don't often let Jack have ice cream, but we had such a fun day playing outside that I couldn't resist taking a break and having some dessert with my favorite little man. It didn't take him long to figure out how the Push Up worked.

A Toddler with Style

Here is Jack taking some fashion advice from his father. I think his red shoes compliment this outfit nicely.

First Haircut

The before shot...He's looking a little unkempt

Here he still has no idea what's to come.

He was so serious (but very calm) during the actual "cut". They had a movie playing for him to watch but he was much more interested in watching his stylist work.

The finished product...although Daddy thinks the hairdresser went a little overboard with the gel. Doesn't he look so much older?

All Boy

In case there was ever a question as to whether our son acted like a boy, just look at his hands (and his mouth). He loves the dirt and if he goes outside that is right where he heads.

Have You Missed Us?

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. We recently moved into our first house...and while the actual "living" in the house has been wonderful, the process of getting to that point was a bit of a pain. We are still wading through boxes, purchasing furniture and painting walls. I have a list about a mile long of things that need to be bought or fixed. I'm thankful that Spring Break starts today and Nathan is thrilled that he gets to use his vacation to fix up our place.

Jack has been going through a bit of a rough patch. Last week he had a stomach virus and got two new molars (left top and bottom). There was little sleep going on at our house. Then this week his allergies have started acting up and he's getting his right top molar. I'm so ready for this teething stuff to be over! The one thing that helps us get through the days is playtime in the backyard. Jack LOVES the new yard and all the dirt it contains. He is all boy and by bath time he is ready to be washed...there is dirt everywhere (including his mouth)!

Anyway, as we get settled we'll post some pictures of the house...

We're ready for visitors!
