Jack is crawling like a boss. He's so fast! He is a really tough little guy. In the last week, he pulls himself up to his knees while holding onto things any chance he gets, he's even gotten to his feet a few times! I wasn't giving him Cheerios fast enough so he decided he'd just help himself. Speaking of Cheerios, this kid loves finger foods. His favorites are cut up avocado, peaches/nectarines, cheerios, banana, etc. He eats real food so much better than baby food, I don't blame him. He also loves making bubbles with his mouth, talking, playing with friends, and laughing. He loves being around people, especially kids- he observes and tries to copy! Jack loves jumping, going to the gym with Mama, and playing in the mirror.
Jack still ADORES the water. I think we might have a little swimmer on our hands!

| Doesn't he just melt your heart? |
Jack still loves books, so we read to him quite a bit. (Thanks, Tanya for all the awesome books!)
He's been waking up happy for the last month or two, totally melts my heart!
Things Jack doesn't so much love:
Cutting teeth (he has 3 now)
Shoes...

| It took 15 dang minutes to put these puppies on and he pulled them off in a matter of seconds! |
 |
| This is the face he gave me after he pulled his shoes off. Who knows? |
Like I said earlier, Jack loves making faces- if anybody scrunches up their face at him, he'll do it right back. (See above...).
Jack and I fly home to Washington on Thursday and we are so excited to see all the family. Not at all excited for the loooonnnnnnngggggg flight with just the two of us. Sad Dan can't come, darn school! More of our trip later!
Jack is such an awesome boy and makes us more happy than we have ever been. Every time he looks at me I get butterflies because I love him so much. I can't imagine life without him. What a blessing he is!
