Little Legs

I have to post these pictures because I can't believe it but Jack is already outgrowing his newborn clothes. This was one of my favorite pajama outfits with the monkey feet. This was also only the first time he wore it and sadly I think it may be his last. His big feet are too long for the footies and he can't straighten his legs because they are too long. I'm already starting the feel the "they get big so fast."

Great Grammy (Lawler) came to visit today. She spent the afternoon with Jack and luckily he stayed awake most of the time and wasn't too cranky!! We'll post pics with her later in the week.

Our Very First Birthday Party

Saturday Jack was lucky enough to be invited to Finn Moss' 1st birthday. It was in Railroad Park and the day was perfect - not too hot.

Jack and I enjoying the park.

Jack started to get hungry and his overalls looked pretty delicious!

Later that night we found Grandaddy "checking" on Jack to make sure he was still sleeping well in his crib...

Single Man on the Market

It finally cooled off enough that Jack and I are going for a walk today!!! Finally, we will get out of the house. Jack chose this outfit - apparently he is already on the lookout for single chicks - preferably under 1 year old:)

The Next American Idol??

Jack and I are having a lot of fun keeping each other company now that everyone is gone and Daddy has gone back to work.

Tonight we watched American Idol and Jack decided to rock out to "Stayin Alive." As you can see he agreed with Simon and did not totally enjoy the performance but he did have some fun dancing and waving at the camera.

The Carlsons Are Gone :(

We just got word late last night that everyone made it back to Tacoma safely. Doug is a crazy wild man and drove it straight through (16 hours!) again- Jack clearly has too much of his DNA and is proving to be a little crazy wild man himself.

The goodbye actually wasn't as bad as we all feared it would be- I think the "super special top-secret secret" I told Jean to make her laugh every time she got sad helped a lot. (Don't ask to know the secret, nobody else gets gets to know. That's why it's a secret!)

Everyone misses "Special Gramma Jean Time" (changing the diaper)- ESPECIALLY US! We had no idea how many he was actually producing!

The weirdest change is how quiet the house is now. No more Gramma Jean and Auntie T.C. fighting over their Mah-Jong game with only one of them thinking it was funny, no more Max barking at leaves and the sky and his shadow and no more Noel tormenting Itchy the cat. Doug was never loud. I know it sounds like too much excitement, but it really was fun! Thanks for coming, guys, and please don't wait too long to come back!!

Here's a few more pictures from during their visit:

Bath time is more fun (for us) when Jack is shark-bait!

Dreaming about more milk.

Aunt Margie/Marguerite Visits!

Amy's Godmother just flew in from Tacoma for a visit. We have already enjoyed a long stroll to the tea shop followed up by sunshine and BBQ. Jack is a HUGE fan so far and is devastated that she is not staying permanently!
