My Valentine

Here are sweet pictures of my valentine at 9.5 months! Enjoy!
We decided to take these photos in the afternoon and Jack WAS not interested in any photos or sitting still. You can see the cheerios in his mouth that we used as a bribe!

10 months

Jack hit 10 months this week! It's crazy to believe we are almost at 1 year. Jack continues to grow and explore everything in sight. He recently discovered the stairs, but only managed to climb one stair. I know he'll master the stairs sooner than later. He's crawling more often instead of the army crawl and loves to pull up on any furniture he sees. If there's nothing sturdy around, he'll try to pull up on your leg.

In the teething world, he's working on his top 2 teeth, but it's a slow process. Everything imaginable goes into his mouth right now. He still eats like a champ and loves those cheerios. We are trying to be more adventurous with his food options, but it's a work in process.

Our 10 month photo wasn't a huge success because this little boy can't sit still! He wants to be on the move constantly! His hair is growing like weeds and below he looks like a wild man.

 He loves the buttons on his owl.

Cal's opinion- when's this kid going to leave me alone?
Grandmom came to visit!

Babies & the playground

Jack experienced the playground for the first time this weekend. Luckily, we had the old pro Boyd share his swing skills. Unfortunately Jack wasn't a huge fan of the swing.


Jack's more interested in dad's sunglasses.

 How precious is this little boy?
Next skill to practice- the slide! As you can see, Jack loved the slide and I love his hair in these pictures!



 How can I crawl up the slide?

Jack's Great Grandparents

Over the summer, my family gathered together for a reunion at the farm (this post). We spent hours pouring over Sandison family photos from my Aunt Dottie's house. I finally scanned the photos, so I wanted to share my favorites of my mom's parents.
