7 and 8 months old

The last couple of months have been very very busy! We have spent a lot of time with family and with each other! Jack is growing bigger and bigger everyday and keeps experiencing firsts! Here are some of the highlights from the past 2 months:


  • Jack is now crawling like a pro and he loves to stand up on things! It is hard to keep up with him now! The dogs are still doing well now, even though he is more mobile. 
  • He continues to be a good eater. He loves beets, sweet potatoes, apples, and peas, although we have not found anything he does not like. This week we started finger foods, though he prefers that we feed him.
  • Jack got to experience his first snow. We did not stay out very long, but he did not seem to mind. 
  • We celebrated his first Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years! Holidays are so much more fun with Jack!






  • Jack met Santa!
  • We finished swim lessons and he really started to enjoy them. We will start again in February.
  • As a family, we went to Lincoln, NE to meet up with some of J.P.'s friends from Benedictine to participate in a weight lifting meet. Since then, J.P. has also competed in 2 more meets, winning both in his weight class.
  • On my side of the family, we went shopping for our family that we adopted for Christmas. It is a great new tradition that we are doing and I am glad that we can do this now with Jack.
  • Jack got sick for the first time so we spent some time in Urgent Care and a lot of snuggling. He is finally on the mend and I am hoping we don't have to deal with that very often!
  • Bath time is a lot more fun now that he can sit up on his own and is playing with toys.
  • After Christmas and how spoiled Jack got, it was time that we start putting together a play room. It is a work in progress, but looks pretty good so far. 
     

Not sure if this year will top 2012, but we are excited to see what 2013 brings our little family.
