A day in the life of Jack

This is the look of finding pure joy in getting into trouble. He looks like this a lot.

That first time you stand alone

is pretty much not a big deal. Except to your parents.

Friends

Apparently everyone looking at the camera and smiling is too much to ask for.

Ok, I had to find out

A typical morning

Jack was sitting in his highchair eating his snacks while I got some things done. He didn't really want to be there, so he started complaining. I think he wishes he knew how to say words so that he could tell me exactly what the problem is. But since he doesn't, he's stuck with making a variety of unhappy sounds. While doing this, he realized that his voice sounded sort of funny, so he stopped complaining and played with different noises for a while.

Meanwhile, Kyra woke up. I opened the door and she was very excited. *gasp* "Mooooommmmy!" She came running to me and saw Jack in his highchair. *gasp* "Jaaaaaaack!" (her voice bouncing as she ran over to him.) Then she saw that Jack was watching her ultimate favorite show. *gasp* "Caillou!"

I love this picture

4th of July - there was spinning.

and there were fireworks.

Redondo Beach is now my beach of choice for watching fireworks. It was unexpectedly not crowded. The freeway coming home, however, was.

You're never too old to build a fort.
