My day after work with Jack.

Today was Jack's first walk sitting up in his stroller! It was a cold, blustery, late March afternoon. My little guy and I got bundled up and off we went, out to explore the neighborhood.
We saw some pretty flowers.
Sleepy and content, Jack enjoyed looking at all of the pretty houses and all of the yards bursting with flowers.
He waited patiently while I took a picture of this pile of phone books.
I counted seven--all in various states of decomposition.
(Funny, though usually an eerie word, "decomposition" has a nice ring to it when talking about books.)
Soon it was time for a little siesta with his bear, while I walked us to the park, enjoying the birds chirping their evening songs.
Then it was park time. We enjoyed a snuggle, Jack nestled on my lap, watching a golden labradoodle chase after her ball. Then a drop here and there turned to sprinkles and it was time to stroll our way home.
A bottle, a tasty bowl of oatmeal, some pizza for me, a warm bath and time spent in the rocking chair listening to my old music boxes.
My son drifted off to sleep in my arms. 
And it was the perfect end to a perfect evening.

Yay for FOOD!

 
 Carrots!

 
Butternut Squash!
 
 
Avocado!

 
Green Beans!
(Despite the poker face, he liked these best of all.)

Jack's First Feeding!








And so on and so forth. Jack really seemed to like eating and took right to the spoon. (Though most of his cereal ended up on the bib!) Three more days of this, then we move on to orange vegetables!
Way to go, Jack!
You're such a big boy!

Bumbo!!!


Thank you, Chris and Huck, for letting Jack borrow the Bumbo. He's digging it. Almost as much as his teether!
And, no I don't leave him on the table. Only for photo ops!

Mom, I'm about ready to chew on my FOOT unless you give me my teether!


That's better, thank you.


This doesn't feel very cold. How long did you chill it for?


Seriously, this is, like, room temp.

Nope. Not cold enough, thanks.


Oh, alright. If you insist.


Mmmm. This is actually pretty good!


I must say, this hits the spot!


My word, I think I love this teether!



I shall name you Teethy, and you will be my best friend.
