Updates on Jack

Wow - even though I'm only working part-time - it's hard to find time to keep Jack's blog updated. So this is just a rundown of his life lately. Have to charge the camera battery and upload photos so no photos just yet.

~ He can now stand up without pulling himself onto anything. YAY!!

~ He can give you a high five!

~ He can wave!

~ He can stick his tongue out

~ He dances to any music and really shakes it but likes it when you dance with him

~ He's in size 4 diapers yet and still wears some 12 month clothes - but with the cooler weather coming he'll be in size 18-24 months even though they're big on him.

~ He now weighs 27 lbs 1 oz (80%) and is 32 3/4" tall(90%). Where he gets his height from we have no idea. Dr thinks he'll be 6' 1" and 190 lbs as an adult..look out - we're going to have a ladies man on our hands!!

~ He has transitioned so well to his babysitter - he doesn't go everyday but he enjoys going when he does. He plays with their 3 dogs and little girl and he watches the fish. He just hangs out and loves it. But Mommy and Daddy love it when we go pick him up because he runs at us with arms wide open and a huge smile on his face...completely worth it.

~ He still laughs for no reason..we'll be driving somewhere and you'll hear a giggle from the back..such a funny guy.

That's about all I have to report on - check back soon for pics!!

Back to work

Well I went back to work on August 27th. Jack was home with Mark my first day so all was fine. But on the 29th Jack went to his babysitter's house, Francine's. He did so well - he didn't have any problem whatsoever. He loved playing with their dogs, looking at the fish, petting their cats because our cats won't let him near them. He loves going over there. Now that we're 2 weeks into me working - he has exceeded my expectations. I thought it was going to be hard for him, but he just went with the flow. I of course cried my eyes out the first 3 days I left him but that's to be expected after staying home with him for 14.5 months. Now when I walk in the door he greets me with a huge smile and his arms wide open. That makes it all worth it. My new job is definitely a good thing for me and for our family and especially for Jack. We're all doing really well and we couldn't be happier. I'll be posting some pics soon!!
