Family Pitures

This update comes quite late! Back in July, we were able to take our family pictures. It kept getting put off due to weather, but I am thankful for the timing - God knows what He is doing! About two weeks before we took our pictures, Jack started sitting. I couldn't imagine these turning out nearly as good if he wasn't able to sit on his own! Here are some of my favorites...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7 Months

Jack,

You make mommy's heart melt. That toothless grin and sweet laugh just makes me realize how lucky I am to be able to raise you.

At 7 months, you still eat and sleep about the same. You do enjoy your snacks much more and get them everywhere!

The biggest change is your mobility and how you play. I can set you down on the mat and let you play with your toys. This usually entertains you for awhile especially if I leave all the toys in a basket in front of you. If a toy gets out of reach, you can reach for it pretty well. You happen to tumble over quite often in route for a toy and then you reach as hard as you can while rearing up on your legs with your bottom in the air. Just yesterday, you inched your way forward going for my pen that you really wanted. You are so very close to crawling. You also pulled yourself up on a toy this week. Once you stood, you got so excited! I loved seeing your expression and how at the moment, your world kind of changed. You need my help less and less each week. You also really enjoy your walker. I have to watch my toes, the trash, and the pantry, though!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love you my Jack-a-bee. Each day is an adventure with you as I watch you grow up. I am the luckiest mommy in the world.

I loved you yesterday, I love you today, and I will love you tomorrow,
Mommy

The Ranch

Here are some precious pictures captured around the ranch...

 Hanging out in the hammock

 I think it was windy. Jack loves to stick his tongue out in the wind!

 This is the only picture I have sitting in the dirt where he is actually looking up. About two seconds later, he found the "grass"

 

 The guys caught the newest baby for Jack to pet.

Thank you Grams and Pops for holding down the ranch so I can have fun!
Love, Jack

Malikai

Jack LOVES dogs! Aunt Sharla also stayed the weekend at the ranch which means MALIKAI! These two entertained us for awhile. Malikai is such a good dog around Jack. I think these two are going to be best buds!

 Yes, he got the mouth!

 Malikai was Jack's watch dog

 Jack's face was priceless!

Who needs toys?!

For Labor Day weekend, we headed over to the ranch. Jack has a little blow up pool there that he plays with inside with his toys. He loves that thing. He doesn't stay that content at home but will sit there for what seems like hours there. We gave him a napkin, and he was having a hay day.

Tell me why we buy toys again?

Gig'em Ags!

A couple of weeks ago, I put Jack in his Aggie onesie and realized I had a prime photo shoot! I got his Aggie chair and his Aggie hat and headed out to the front yard. He was intently watching the big boys play in the street so he didn't want to give me the time of day! He's the cutest lil' Aggie class of 2034!

Later that week, we had Kick Off Sunday at church where we could wear our favorite team shirt. We decided to make it a Maroon Out day! I didn't think about how it would look as we went out shopping later that day, though. We had several people comment :)

 

My little shark

I love getting Jack out of the bath and wrapping him up in his towel. I need to take more pictures of him like this. I guess I'm too much in the motion to stop and do so.
