I am a terrible blogger already. I’ve been writing posts in my head but haven’t found the time to update the real thing. Part of the problem is that our home computing situation is very sad right now with our slow and crappy laptops, and now that I am working shorter days I have less time to do recreational things on the job. Still, I will try to be more attentive to Jack Jack Goose since the cuteness never stops and must be shared!
Jack turned 5 months old on Wednesday, so to honor that here are 5 things I think you should know:
- Yawning or panting like a dog never fails to make him smile
- He loves red, chewing on book corners, rolling around on a blanket outside, staring at the radio
- He does not love the carseat, and sometimes Grandpa Luken’s booming voice is really scary
- Watching mom and dad drink water, fascinating
- When he’s gone too long without sleep he looks like this-
Need Sleep
Also, we’ve been sitting on a stack of baby announcements that our friend Kate designed as a shower gift.
Jack's Baby Announcement
Pretty cute, huh? Ferdinand is one of our favorite books. Someday you’ll get one of these in the mail, I promise. I just haven’t yet figured out how to get things done in a timely manner. I do think as Jack gets older and learns to entertain himself more, I won’t feel so bad trying to take care of stuff while he’s awake.
I’m getting really excited about Fall weather and Halloween and holiday breaks. I want to dress up Jack for the trick-or-treaters, but I refuse to spend $40 on these newfangled baby costumes (organic banana!, hamburger & french fries!) that you see at Pottery Barn Kids and the like. Please send suggestions!
