Stocking cap

Jack loves to sneak into my closet and steal my little nylon socks. Then he begs to have it put on his head (that was totally Pete's doing). He thinks it's so funny!!

Fall Fellows

So, it's finally cooled down around here and we've even seen a few leaves change colors. We're soooo excited for Thanksgiving (hmmmmmm, turkey).
Here are a few of the ol' family. Jack loves to play with foil, so we were putting it on his head. He loved his hat. He also loves sticking his tongue out.

BOO!

Happy Halloween! We had a great time today. We went with Pete's classmates to their church fair. And then our ward had a picnic and trunk-or-treat. Jack was Superman, Dad was Clark Kent and Mom was Lois Lane. Jack, of course, stole the show.
And after putting costumes on and then off and then on again, and running all over town - I understand why my mom hates Halloween. :) She did all that with 8 kids.
The little monkey is Jack's best bud Maddox.

Wake up call

Jack spent the morning yelling across the courtyard at, well... pretty much nothing. Maybe he saw a bird I didn't. Good thing it wasn't a weekend! :) Although, all our neighbors adore him.

Walk like a man

What a show off.

BDAY BOY!!

We had a wonderful day with our little one-year-old. I think we enjoyed the zoo more than he did. I can't believe a year has gone by. It's been a challenge and a blast! WE LOVE YOU JACK!

A few more cheesers

Jack has turned into a total camera hog. The second any camera goes on, he's ready. Usually with that cheeser grin he picked up somewhere. It's so cute though!
His favorite things these days: stealing mommies toast (and caught red handed - or maybe butter handed); sitting on the balcony to watch the planes fly over head; climbing the stairs (which he fell down this morning) and raisins (he likes them best in the little boxes that he can hold).

Toothy goof

We do not know where this smile came from, but he does it all the time. It's so cheeser!! And so cute. You can see his two top teeth. The two on each side are about to pop through as well.

Computer geek grooves

Jack loves to sit on the computer desk and watch videos or listen to music (just like his dad). He's just discovered how fun the mouse is - it makes clicky noises and has a rolling button! I have to keep typing things over because he points the mouse on something else or he'll reach down and hit keys on the keyboard.
He does love to boogy!!!

Walk Like A Man

Jack took his first steps today!!! If he had waited 10 more minutes daddy would have seen it. He was sitting in my lap on the floor and just stood up and took 2 steps. It was so fun to watch! It seems so normal, I didn't think I would be so excited for him, but I'm a proud mama! We'll try to have video soon.
