BUMBO

Some friends loaned us their Bumbo and I pulled it out for Jack this week.

It was just hilarious to see him sitting up in the thing.

He's quite content in it...I think we're gonna like this thing!

As long as you're doing a photo shoot, I might as well pose!

aaaaaaaaCHOO!

(We'll wipe it down before we return it!)

Checking out the bookshelf and all the more interesting books than the one I chose to read him.

Obviously not ready for Grandma Nan's story time yet!

Thanks Ramseys!

A Full Serving of Veggies

This was all Ryan. ...and he claims I'm the health nut. Don't blame me if flax seeds shows up in Jack's rice cereal when the time comes!

March Madness

Weighing in at a whopping 10 lb 1 oz and a towering 22 1/2 inches high, here's our little 2 month old peanut enjoying the Final Four games.

And as long as I'm posting posed pictures...

...here's Jack showing Grandpa Gus where the drywall needs fixing.

Quality Control: making sure Dad does a good job washing the dishes

Playing

'Little Monkey Boy' and his Aunt

Alisa was set on catching Jack in a smile...gotcha!

We're not too strict yet about things like sitting on dressers and laying on counters!

Meeting More of the Fam

My Grandma Bette was so sweet to host a baby shower for Jack and I on the farm this week.

He got to meet some more of his family, including his Aunt Alisa,

who we loved having around this last week.

Jack and Great Grandma Bette

I think Anabel is telling Great Grandpa Phil all about Jack here.

She did a great job looking out for him!

Aunt Laurie

Aunt Karen helped (second cousins) Evan and Anabel hold Jack. They were both so sweet with him--patting his head, rocking him in his car seat, etc.

I love how intent Jack is on Karen!

Jack woke up just in time for gift opening.

He appeared to be quite interested in what he was getting!

Thanks so much to everyone who was able to make it to the shower-

it was so good to be with you all! (Sorry we didn't get pictures w/ everyone. :( )

Surprising Aunt Alisa at the airport

Jack's sign that we forgot to take into the airport

A few weekends ago Jack got to meet more of his St. Louis family...

Jack meeting his cousin Chase

(the two are just four months apart--we can't wait

for them to be running around together!)

Darren, Melissa, Riley, & Chase w/ Jack

(thanks to my mom & Melissa for sharing photos I failed to take!)

'Activities of Daily Living'

("Activities of Daily Living" is a term we use in the fitness world...he's not burning too many calories doing this stuff, but we're not too worried about that at this point!)

Reality

Just incase all previous posts have fooled you into thinking our kid doesn't cry...

(For the record, RYAN was the one taking these pictures!)
