Connie sent Jack a pair of Converse!
Here's a look back at Jack one year ago today:
On Saturday, Uncle Michael and Kathleen came to babysit while mom and dad went to church.
On Sunday, we saw our cousins again at Uncle Paul and Aunt Margaret's house.
Mommy is really excited that the Easter Bunny came!
After work yesterday, Jim tossed Jack up in the air a few times. You can see that Jack quite enjoyed it.
Today, we went to the playground and enjoyed the nice weather.
The parade was a little cool with a few sprinkles, but still fun.
Notice the crazy guy doing the jig on the roof across the street from where we stood. I made Jack promise to never do something like that.
The Ungers came in town for the celebration!
Mom's poncho helped keep the rain off Jack.
Caeleigh is bundled up and staying warm.
Irish cousins
The baby couch: Nicholas, Garrett, Jack, and Juliet.
Daddy came after work!
Jack got to try out one of Hiro's toys. He also had a fun time playing with the Fingerhut's stereo.
Where's the leprechaun?
There he is!
Peek-a-boo is still one of Jack's favorite games.
It's so fun to play with Daddy!
Jack loves to play with the stereo. He can turn it on, turn up the volume, change the radio station, play/pause a CD. It's all luck, but the kid's amazing. One day Jim was in the kitchen listening to Queen. Jack was playing in the back room. Suddenly Jim hears "We will, we will rock you" blaring from the stereo. Jack had found the volume! Another time when Jack went over to the stereo, I turned it off so he could play with the volume all he wanted and not blast out his ears. Soon enough he had found the power button and turned it on. Here he is playing a CD.
Jack was well overdue for a haircut. The last time I cut it, I had trouble cutting the back because the high chair was in the way. This time, I put him in his director's chair (covered with a towel to catch the hair) and I strapped him in with one of Jim's belts. Once again I turned on the television so he would sit still while I cut. It worked out perfectly. He was so absorbed in the soap opera that he didn't even want to look at the camera for a picture. (Just kidding about watching a soap opera - strictly PBS for this guy.)
Post-haircut
I love bathtime with Daddy! He lets me run around without clothes on afterward!
The weather has been pretty crazy here. On Sunday we had the windows open and it got up to 78 degrees! Tuesday we were hit with close to a foot of snow! I am anxious for spring. It's hard to get outside when it is so cold and snowy. We did go sledding a little yesterday. I just pulled Jack up and down the street and then we sledding down the slight incline (too small to even call it a hill) in our front yard a couple times.
