ta-daaaa!

Guess what Jack can do:

trip to the store

Here is Jack setting out to the store:

He is getting much better at staying awake for walks TO places (so much to look at, especially trees!) and even at staying awake for the intended visit. Yesterday he stayed awake through a whole library visit!

However.... Here he is demonstrating our usual return: :)

Alex's Parents Visit

Here are an assorted selection of pictures from their visit:

Bear of Familiar Name

This outfit makes him look like a certain Pooh Bear, no?

Sleeping Hard

I caught a video of Jack working really hard at sleeping.

chillin'

He stands!

next video

He figured out we were recording him. He does NOT perform on command!

more videos

More happy baby!

Video!

For those of you who can't meet the boy in person, here is a little message from Jack:

Alex has been hiding pictures on his phone

These give a pretty good idea of what life has been like since the spring. :)

Here's yet more proof of how strong Jack is.

Presents from Alaska

Jack got some great Alaska goodies from his Aunt Pam and Uncle Jonathan. Here he is being a little studmuffin in his new t-shirt. :)

"Sunshine Baby"

Every morning we are greeted by a person we call Sunshine Baby. Jack spends the first few hours awake in the morning happily chatting and smiling at us. Of course, we chatter back in English, but he gets the gist. We've been meaning to capture some of the phenomenon with a camera, so here are a couple of shots of Sunshine Baby in his chair. I'm sure video will follow soon.
