Boat Show

We took Jack to the Houston Boat Show at Reliant Park this morning to let him run around and play with all the lights/buttons/wheels. He was in heaven!

 

Woooooooow, look at all those boats!

 

 

Running over to a new boat! so cute :) 

 

 Oh yes pretending as if this was our boat :)

 Captain Jack in charge of the boat!

 

this one is for Grandpa King...The KEY WEST boat :) 

 Happy boy!!

 What a perfect morning, Jack you were running all over the place and LOVED driving all the boats!

Swim Lessons

Today was our first day at Saint Street Swim. There are only two other kids in Jacks class, so its a great size class for him to learn in. The other two kids have been one session before, and are a little more older than Jack. His teacher assured us that he will be a fish once he gets past an entire 3 month session. He will adapt to the water more and more each week and start to do more of the activities. Today Jack had a lot of tears and wanted me to hold him, which I was A-ok with doing. I was merely trying to get him comfortable with the water and his instructor. As the weeks go on I look forward to him doing the class activities. The other two are already going down and picking up rings! Not from the bottom of the pool but from the steps after only a three month session! I've heard great things about SSS and we are excited to have joined! The pool was heated and the swim room was as well, so it was a very pleasant experience and I look forward to next Thursday!

 Someone is excited to be in a speedo! ha!

 Not a fan ..yet ...

 ...but we loved the bubbles!

 Baby boy you did so good! We are so proud of you! You are zonked out now taking a nap...
all that kick-kick-kickin' wore you out!

18 months?

Sometimes I'm the cutest little toot...

I love to touch everything...but I'm pretty gentle

 ...Mommy still hasn't cut my locks

 ...I have the cutest faces and I love to tell you No

 ... STICKS! I love sticks! wooden ones, plastic ones, it doesn't matter, I'm a boy and I love STICKS!

 ..Lovie is still my #1 squeeze

 ...and my jeans are still too long for me..

 ... I love to play with my Daddy

 ..but I love my Mommy too

Where has 18 months gone? Wow... is it time for #2? Don't get too excited just yet. But we are at least "talking" about it :)

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Though I'm certain my Dad and I would have much rather been at Disney World than the hospital, we didn't have a choice. So we had as much fun as we could and enjoyed our time talking when Dad felt ok. I was so sad to leave but I was so happy to be there to take care of my Dad. I arrived to the airport early and had time to check out all the shops. Of course front and center was a HUGE Disney store. Not really a souvenir, we will save that for when Dad is feeling better and can take Jack-Jack to see Mickey himself! But I couldn't walk out without getting him something. So baby Mickey it was!
I'm certain he is in love!

 He also got a Mickey sippy, which he loves watching the juice go through the straw!

 ...and a Mickey plate to eat snacks on :)

Thank You

Thank you dear Wisconsin Family for all the awesome puzzles you got baby boy for Christmas! He is a pro and loves this one sooooo much!
Hope you are staying warm!

Pushin' on to a New Year

Have you missed us? I had to leave to take care of my Daddy who was in the hospital in Florida. He is doing much better now, but it was a little scary and I was grateful for Southwest Airlines for getting me on a flight the same day he became ill. I rang in the new year with my Dad at the hospital and I'm hopeful for a healthy year for my Dad.
Kevin and Jack stayed behind to hold down the fort here in Houston.

We are looking forward to all that 2011 has in store for our family! Great things ahead!
