Meat Eater?

Jack hasn't been the best at eating meat, so we were very excited when Jack loved the kebab at a Lebanese restaurant several blocks from our house. He insisted on feeding himself with a fork.

As Grandpa Steve and I prepared to toast to our having a successful meal with the boy, Jack spit out nearly all of the meat that he'd evidently been storing in the side of his mouth (like a chipmunk).

Fountain Tour 2011

Jack explored several of Ballston's finest fountains with Grandpa Steve. He was tentative at first, but really enjoyed the last few.

Water Table

Jack's aunt, Katie, got him an awesome toy that has become a staple in our outdoor playing. Thanks, Katie!

Cupcake Fever

Aunt Margie brought over some wonderful Fathers Day Cupcakes, and Jack couldn't resist them. He's been into sharing lately (handing mulch to us, offering his half-chewed string cheese, etc.), and graciously smeared some icing on Patty's face.

Caption Contest

Here's a lousy example - "This pirate's had too much grog!"

Fun on the Slide

There are several parks in walking distance from our house, and Jack loves them all.

Grandma and Grandpa!

Jack had a great weekend with Grandma Chris and Grandpa Steve. Here's he's resting his arm on Grandpa's belly after a chasing Grandma around the house.

Giggling

Gravity is hilarious.

Is That a Hair in my Cheerios?

Jack got his first haircut. Without a lot of patience, and a bag of Cheerios (Honey Nut, of course), Jack would still have what his daycare providers referred to as his "Achy Breaky Hairstyle", in honor of the great Billy Ray Cyrus.

Taking Truck Out For a Spin

Jack and Finn had fun playing in my filthy vehicle.
