All About Jack

Jack has been cracking us up lately with his ever expanding vocabulary. There isn't a day that passes that he doesn't make us laugh hysterically about something, it's so great to have that kind of youthful, carefree energy around you. I find myself remembering more and more great memories from my own childhood, it's so fun to relive them. Of course, there are some moments when that kid energy makes me want to trade places with him, but more often than not, it's so much fun to get to act like a kid again with him.

Here are some of my favorite "Jackisms" of the moment:

runs around yelling, "I a dinosaur, a T-Rex!"

ah-ah-ah-chooo (makes fake sneezing noises)......."bless you"

after losing one of his matchbox cars in the front bushes, he proceeded to go back over to the shrub frequently and say "car, where are you?"

"Ah-oh, Stella spilled," on Stella spitting up

clearly Jack has a poopy diaper. when I ask him if he pooped, he replies "No, Stella did it"

at 4pm after being home all day:
Jack: "Momma I leaving"
Me: "Where are you going?"
Jack: "bank, my office" (while nodding head yes)

"Very cool" sidewalk chalk car
Storytime with Daddy
Jack loves to color
Jack's first mini-golf - he loved it!
Going "really high" on the swings

Bumbo

.....Jack doing the same.........monkey see monkey do!

Boxing & Rolling

Stella can now roll from belly to back! She did it five times in a row last week.........I guess there's a lot of motivation to do it when you hate tummy time :) She's also been batting at her toys like crazy and it getting stronger and stronger each day, we think she may be a boxer one day. Next up, I think I caught her discovering her hands today, stay tuned for more on that milestone.

Irish Fest

Here are some pictures from Irish Fest in La Crosse, we took the kids to the kiddie area, where they had a little parade, puppet show, music & even a sheep shearing.

Jack & Mommy's Night Out

While it's a common occurrence in our household for Jack & Daddy to have fun little outings together......since Stella's arrival it had been awhile since just Jack and I had been able to hang out just the two of us, so we got two tickets to Sesame Street Live (second row!) Jack and I had a blast, we broke all the rules that evening, snacking on cotton candy and M&M's, and staying up until 9pm! Jack really enjoyed the show and even got to high five Burt. Every time Elmo, Cookie, Big Bird or Ernie would go backstage he would ask "Ernie, where are you?"......"Big Bird, where are you?" and then of course he was ecstatic when they would return to the stage. It was priceless watching Jack's excitement, it was a great Mother and Son night out!

Stella and her Sheepy
Stella turned two months last week and she's growing like a weed! She now weighs 11lbs and measures 22in long. Along with smiling and cooing, she now can add batting at her toys to her repertoire. She's enjoying growing into more of her new wardrobe every day, and she's also discovered accessories can make an outfit :)

Slumber

This is how we found Jack sleeping the other night...........interesting choice with the blanket usage I'd say......and just in case your wondering no, Jack is not potty trained yet, he has a diaper on under those underwear :)
