Mimi read to me!

Mimi came over the other day and all Jack wanted her to do was read....so that's just what they did!

Butt up in the air trying to dig for a book! Love it!

Oh and when it was time for bed, Mimi pulled out a puzzle she got Jack! He mastered it really fast and wanted to do it again and again and again!

Yay I did it!

Isn't he getting so big! This is a 2T outfit! Pants are a little long, but he fits in it! Wowzers!

Piece it together

I was blown away this morning when Jack started putting together a puzzle! I was so excited for him and put that inflection into my voice to encourage him once he correctly placed each piece down. He doesn't quite know how to turn the piece around to get it in the puzzle, but that's ok, he is doing a wonderful job and I'm sure that will come very fast! We did it about 3 or 4 times and each time he got better. When I dropped him off at Bethany Methodist this morning and asked his teacher if he likes puzzles, and she said Jackson is really good with matching the colors up. Kevin and I both come from families that love to play games, especially around the holidays...so this warms my heart because it won't be long before Jack is teach us some new games! Congratulations baby boy on your first big boy puzzle... You are amazing!!

Checking out his work! Great job Jack!!

Hats

Jack grew out of all his hats from last year so I placed an order for some more hats from Once Upon a Hook. Are they just not the cutest things?? Love Jacks face too...kisses! They do take a few weeks to make, so if you are interested you should put your order in now! I also ordered a few more from another lady and I will be posting those when I get them :)

I'm a Mommy that insists on covering those ears and so far Jack doesnt seem to mind it.  

 

Quack Quack, Shop Shop, Sick Sick

Kevin and I have always noticed the ducks just a few blocks from our house and we thought Jack would love to check them out. So we packed up with a loaf of bread and headed over to the quack quacks!

 He was really enjoying the ducks....

 .....but had a hard time sharing the bread! So funny!

 After the ducks we headed over to the Galleria to do a little window shopping...

 

We were looking at all the neat window displays and then all of a sudden he started to make a bee line INTO the store! Oh my gosh! Toot! Thank gosh Kevin was right behind him to grab him. Ha!

 

We stopped for a bite to eat at La Madeline and Jack loved the tomato basil soup! Yummm!

 

Then we checked out all the ice skaters, Jack was very interested in what they were doing. 

 After that we took him over to the Tot Spot of the mall. Its this fun clubhouse area that is modeled after the Galleria. The kids are a little wild we have to follow Jack pretty close, but he loves it!

 Toys-R-Us has a store right next to the clubhouse so we checked in there. Jack had a blast as you can see and pulled out all the toys! We didn't purchase a thing, Christmas is right around the corner so we just made sure to note the things he loved! :)

 

It was a fun day but we were under the weather and on Sunday we just stayed around the house. 

Mommy and Jack have a little cold and we hope it goes away really soon! Boo to colds!

Fun-tastic Friday

As soon as Daddy got home we joined all our neighborhood friends for some street play...

Our crazy neighbor Charlie :)

weeeeeee so much fun!

Do it again!

brrrr its cold, we had to go get a jacket!

Such a ham!

After playing around we turned out Halloween pumpkins into Turkeys! Cute huh? 

There is a Daddy, Mommy & baby turkey...perfect!

Then we made fish tacos.. not really fall eating but they sounded good and tasted even better!

What a perfect evening! Thanks baby boy for making us smile so much tonight!
