    Jack: 6 Month Update

     Oh Jack. How are you already half a year old? I both love it and hate it at the same time. I love all the new things you are doing and all your “first” moments. But I’m also a little sad as you change so much each month and become more independent. You’ll notice a lot of your pictures this month have one thing in common. You sitting.

You are on the go!  You LOVE to kick your little feet as fast as they will go and smile…

Bring a new Christmas tree topper of course!  He also left a little note with a not so subtle reminder to not touch which is hard when…

    Carrots. Yum.

    I tried to think of a funny, witty, or at least not lame title of this post for the last 5 minutes. Obviously I failed. But…look who’s eating carrots and loving them! Are you wondering why Jack’s eyes and eyebrows are so red? He was crying because I wasn’t shoveling the carrots in his mouth fast enough. Do you think he’s thinking, “Quit taking pictures and feed me my food before I freak out.” We were hoping to get at least one picture with him looking disgusted or unsure of what he was eating but alas he loved every bite.  For comparisons sake, here’s Ben eating carrots for the first…
