One Firetruck, Two Methods

Witness the lovely differences between masculine and feminine play.

Playing Catch

The guys figured out how to play catch. In this video he's using the jumper, but sometimes Jack can actually catch the ball when he's sitting, if he's really really focused. His throws go a little sideways.

Pulling Up

The last few weeks Jack's really learned how to pull himself up to standing. At first he could just do it on low ledges and he was more comfortable on his knees, but now he wants to stand whenever possible. I can't believe how fast he learns. He even learned to stand up in the sink during his bath, so he got promoted to the big bath tub, which is a pain for the adult supervising, but fun for him to have more space to splash.

 I adore this picture. I feel like it really captures his happy, adventurous little spirit
 Testing the fenses, but not willing to give up the spoon to do it.
 Peaking. Silly baby.
 Picking favorites
 He loves the baby-proofing latches on the cabinets. He actually wasn't trying to get in the cabinets, but now that we installed the latches, it sparked his interested in them.
 Loves the bathroom.

 Jack really likes to close doors. He always gets stuck behind them and it's hard for me to get in because he sits right on the other side.
 Chewing on the door, I guess. I don't know.
 Mischief
  Getting big, but still loving the Binky

More fun with Grandma and Papa

 I love this sweet smile as he gets his face washed...
 ...and then this look of terror for the same face washing.

Shake It Jackie, Shake It!

Grandma's House

Wow, I've been so preoccupied that I've missed giving updates for nearly a month! Here comes a lot of posts in a row. Dan had to go to glamorous New Jersey for work training for a week at the end of Feb, so Jack and I spent that time with my parents. I don't quite feel ready to do a whole week a home by myself with the little guy. Here are some fun times at Grandma's house.
