Jack: Will Starve For Fun

Jack was over at my mom's last night while I did some errands (I know, I'm spoiled rotten). He was there with Gramma, Poppa, Abby, Bronx, Megan and Aaron. Needless to say - excitement was not a problem.

What was the problem is that he was so intent on everyone and everything around him that, even though he was starving that he refused to eat. OR nurse.

I didn't know that that is what was happening until I got him home and he drained two bottles, then snacked on two more before midnight. Sheesh.

Jack's Eye Color


Jack's Eyes turned truly brown TODAY

Jack's Teefers


In just a few short weeks Jack has gone from choking up on anything that came too close to the back of his throat to chomping happily on graham crackers, pizza crust and tortillas.

Abby's Great Adventure

There she goes!

She's been so excited for this overnight with Noni and Zoozy all week (since she was told about it) - counting down the days impatiently. She packed and decided what she would want for the train and what to wear.

She wavered only once - her little face looking at me as I waved goodbye. But she didn't say anything or reach out and I haven't heard from them since - so implies no problems!

Princess School

Abby, Claire and Katherine were in Princess School last week. It was part make-believe, part craft class. Abby loved it.

Jack - Nothing to Stop him

This boy. How do I explain.

Abby has this book that opens up into many pop up rooms... if Jack got a hold of it he would tear it to shreds and eat it. SO I made a barricade. Less than two minutes later he had grabbed hold of the book. I looked confused. "How did he get over there?" I asked Abby. "He went under the table."

He doesn't care if he bumps his head the entire time, the boy will not be stopped.

He's the cutest sweetest most giggly (and manly) boy around.

He is IN LOVE with most women - especially fair haired ones.

He thinks EVERYTHING Daddy does is hilarious.

He does not in any way, shape, or form appreciate his diaper being changed.

Abby the Teenager


So Abby has moved into her teenage years... wait, she's not even 5 officially yet? Oh that's weird. She's certainly acting like a teenage girl.

My sweetie says things like this:
I don't like this day, this isn't a good day for me, nothing is going right for me today. I guess it's just not my lucky day.

Or sometimes I walk into her room and find her sprawled by her window, staring out with the most dramatic expression of sadness that exists because she's annoyed that I've delayed in getting her a toy she wanted. She's not rude, just so very disappointed in life.

She's still being incredible with Jack. She has just begun to become annoyed when he goes after her toys... though, when I'm not looking, her solution is simply to move him herself.


She's a bit of a siren already. It's not just her cousin that adores her. Everywhere she goes there tends to be a little under four foot male who looks after her like she radiates sunlight.
