5 1/2 months

I just love these pictures of my little man! I promise this is his personality about 95% of the time. He has become very active, though. As soon as he's up on those knees I'm going to need more help while I work. It's kind of hard to run with a lap top. :) If you look closely at the middle picture you'll see his new pearly whites! The bottom picture is the Jack we met this past week. He's becoming bashful around strangers. When someone he is unfamiliar with tries to talk to him he hides his face, doesn't cry, just hides. He also hides his face when he laughs some now. We were actually playing "peek-a-boo" when I took this photo. Notice how his hair is in his eyes?

Ok, I know...I'm way behind! Wow! There is so much to share.

Jack got his first tooth the day before he turned 5 months. He now has two of the most beautiful pearly whites I've ever seen. It wasn't as bad as I had expected. He was grumpy one Friday afternoon, and I couldn't make him happy. Usually he is very easy to pacify. Saturday was perfect. We had a great time playing all day. Sunday afternoon, I saw his first tooth barely peeking through his gums on the bottom of his mouth. It melts my heart when he smiles.

Jack can sit up all by himself...well, as long as I sit him up. The point is he no longer falls over. It makes playing with him so much more fun.

Jack is already in dire need of his second haircut. The hair over his forehead is already in his eyes. I am not sure who I'll get to cut it. My own beautician is nervous about it, but willing.

I think I've heard him say "Daddy" a few times when he was upset. I'm not sure, but I think so.

Jack loves to pet the doggies. He loves Biscuit and Birdie. He watches them all day long.

Updates

Updates coming soon... I promise!!! I have a very busy life these days. ;) I hope to have them up by Friday and Saturday. They'll be worth the wait.
