Lesson #1:

DO NOT LEAVE HI-LITERS ON THE FLOOR

He wouldn't let us get a good shot of his blue tongue. Not sure exactly how he sucked out enough ink to color his tongue as the lid was on the whole time. Ok, that is an assumption, but I found him playing with it with the lid on and I'm quite sure he does not have the motor skills to re-cap a hi-liter at this point! For the record, I was gone about 20 seconds. I'm sure after a few more months I won't even feel the need to put that disclaimer in here...I'm sure anyone who is a mom understands. I mean, heck, not naming names, but I've seen a picture of a kid I know with his legs wedged in a toilet...it only goes down hill from here right?!

Happy Boy

We had a couple COLD days here last week & I finally got to pull out the hat Laurie & Alan got Jack in Nepal...I've been waiting 7 months to put it on him!

It kept him nice & toasty for a quick run & the 1st half of the North Polk FB game.

Here's Ryan braving the arctic temps to get the pool cleaned out for the winter.

This was not the same day Jack was sporting his hat, but I still think he could have used more than a shorty!

Think you missed a call dad...

New Discovery: Playing in a basket is fun & keeps little guys contained & entertained for a good 5 minutes @ a time!

Jack has just enough hair that he's starting to wake up with a little bad head. You can just barely spot it on the right in this picture. :)

Our latest trip to STL

Drivin' home..."Move it or lose it, sister!"

Grammi & Jack

Bedtime snack

"He fits!"

Taylor and Ella had fun trying to fit Jack in various doll chairs. Looks like an awful lot of pink to me. We're gonna have to keep an eye on these girls until Jack's big enough to fend for himself...! :)
