Week Thirty Two

Where's Jack?!?!?!?


Here I am!!!! Jack's new game is to hide under the blanket and then pull it off...he giggles like crazy once he is finally able to get it off.


So the parenting books suggest that children can start feeding themselves some "easy" finger foods at this stage. As you can see "easy" is code word for MESSY!! Jack had a blast attempting to eat the banana, we thought that it was also time for him to learn that the Chiquita sticker must be worn on your forehead while eating a banana.


We were invited up to Great Uncle Dana's and Great Aunt Sherry's for the 4th of July. We had a great time visiting around the campfire, boating, swimming, fishing, and watching the fireworks out on the lake. Jack was able to meet Great Uncle Dale and Great Aunt Donna for the first time, as they made a detour on their way back to Texas from Alaska.


Oh geez!! Here we go on that crazy boat thing again! Great Aunt Donna will keep me safe though! The first PFD we purchased for Jack was not a hit with him. In fact he screamed as soon as it was on. We decided to try a different one, which works out much better for him. It is too funny though...as soon as the PFD goes on he is very serious (he won't crack a smile at all!), and as soon as it comes off he is all smiles again.


Jack made it through most of the fireworks before he fell asleep. We weren't sure what to expect with the loud noises, but he really enjoyed all the bright lights.


Jack was very interested in Great Uncle Dana's cell phone ring tones.


Here kitty, kitty, kitty! This was the first time that Jack has taken an interest in Grandpa and Grandma Dresel's three cats.


Thank goodness I am safe in the laundry basket! I think Louie likes to eat little baby toes!
