Week Forty Eight

Holy cow!!!! Only 4 more weeks until our baby officially becomes a toddler! I know Jack's birthday is just around the corner, but it really just hit me as I typed week 48! Where did the year go!!!!!!

When it was time to make a trip to the store, Jack had other ideas. He laid down on the floor and snuggled his blanket, as if to say "NOOOO, I don't want to go shopping again!!!!"


One of Jack's new favorite things to do is to ring the doorbell before we come in the back door. Believe me if I forget to do this, he is sure to remind me, and we have to go back outside to ring it. As you can see we still have the doorbell that needs to be installed at the front door. Maybe we should leave it on the windowsill for one more week? Besides, what would Jack play with in the kitchen? (hint, hint, honey!)


All excited to eat breakfast!


See...I can do it all by myself!


I think after I am done chewing on the vacuum attachment, I think I'll use it as a sword to beat mom with. That is just what he did. I was sitting on the floor, putting the finishing touches on the packing, for Jack's trip to Eau Claire, when he crawled over to me, stood up, and started wailing on me with the attachment. Can you say "all boy"?!?!?!


I'm all packed to go to Eau Claire! Jack spent last weekend at Grandpa Tim's and Grandma Jane's house, while Tom and I had a relaxing weekend refinishing our hardwood floors, for a second time! (Don't ask about it...it was waaaay too much fun!)

Eventhough we were back in Milwaukee hard at work, Jack had a ton of fun entertaining Grandpa Tim, Grandma Jane, Grandma Nancy and a bunch of other visitors (of course Grandpa Tom was hunting for ducks! Why didn't I get to go with you Grandpa? Just between you and me, I'm thinking of asking for a dog for my first birthday...then will you let me come with you?). Thanks for taking such good care of me Grandma and Grandpa!!!!! I can't wait to come back to chase the cats, and make diapers that require two of you to change me!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!
