The Stroller


This is his new favorite, he may take the music box to bed with him, but he really loves this pushing this around.

The Music Box


This box let's him pick separate instruments out of the orchestra, he loves it.

Bejeweled.....


jack would make a good surf kid in Hawaii

The good sleeper.....


Jack could not quite get up on the couch before he fell asleep.

we had a 5 hour delay on our way to utah - playing "where's jack?" consumed a larg part of our waiting time for the plane to take off.

jack and his books





























jack often retreats to his room to read his books. he really loves them, and it is really cute. more importantly, i hope this means that he is a shoo-in for harvard (or stanford for his west coast relatives!)

thank you melissa, john, alex and william!

test run with jack's new table and chairs






















here is jack's first trial with the table and chairs - it all seemed to pass jack's exacting standards...


"tool time" with daddy










jack helped john put together jack's new table and chairs for his room. grace, jack's nanny, said it was time for him to have his own little table for art projects and drawing.

sleeping in our bed


he definitely prefers sleeping in our bed these days.

at our favorite restaurant







isabella


a picture of jack's cousin, isabella, in her school picture.

No means no!!

video

when he sees an outlet, he starts saying "no, no, no, no, no". he understands that I am going to say "no" around any outlet, he just doesn't take me seriously. or maybe he thinks "no, no, no, no" is the name for outlets!

drinking from a cup

the book (what to expect...) said that jack should be able to drink from a cup right now; in retrospect, I think they meant a sippy cup, not a glass! jack thinks, for some reason, that his tongue needs to dip into the glass in order for him to take a drink - it is too funny.

jack cruising through the apartment

jack started walking a few weeks after his birthday; here is a video taken about a week ago. john chose and added the soundtrack. i would have chosen an amy winehouse song given the way that jack staggers through the apartment.
