Big Big Boy!

Oh Jack is growing up so fast! After President Monson's talk on Sunday morning, I am enjoying every moment even more! I am trying to live in the moment with him and yet get my cleaning done, be a wife, and a full time teacher. Nonetheless, I love Jack and all the happiness that he brings!

Nathan (and Traci) babysat Jack today! They had a lot of fun and played with fun toys! My mom took him out to their house and Nathan told her many times, "Grandma, you can go now!" He also asked (while it was about 55 degrees outside) "Mom, can we take him for a walk now?" Traci finds out on Wednesday what she is having. It is killing Lisa! She can't wait to find out what it is. We are also soooo excited that Jill is expecting as well! We are praying for two girls this time! The next two babies will be so close together. Traci's baby will be born March 2009. Jill's baby (due May 2009) and Jack will only be 14 months apart and that is closer than my cousin Jason and I were and we played together all the time when we were little! Our little family is just growing and growing.

Jack is all smiles until the camera is on him and then he just does this face and stares at the flash!

Jack is not content anymore to just have food fed to him without helping me! I have to give him a spoon in each hand and then he still tries to help. Here I let him have a little extra freedom with the pear sauce. He enjoyed it and luckily we were able to just stick him right in the rub when he was done. My mom had the fantastic idea of making pear sauce with the pears off her tree in the back. We cleaned them and then put them through the Victorio strainer. It was awesome! He loves the pear sauce and we know they are 100 percent organic with no added sugar! He eats a pint of it in a few days!

We gave Jack a bath at my parents' house. I think he would have enjoyed it more had he not concentrated so hard on sitting up the whole time. We got a rag covering him so that it would be appropriate to put it on my blog!!!
