Where Jack's At...March edition

Four days short of ten months!  Wow his first birthday is almost two months away...I'll get working on his Amazon Wishlist...hehe..
Crawling and cruising (walking using furniture or whatever is around).
Playing patty cake.
Singing ba ba along with any song.
Saying da da again (his first words were ma ma, then ba ba, then da da, but lately it's been all ba ba all the time).
Walking with help, sometimes from me, sometimes from various articles of my clothing.
Torturing his fur bro, papi, and fur sis, shady.
Dancing...pretty much bouncing up and down to the beat.
Napping semi-alone sometimes, in the tempurpedic, of course.
Eating, lots and lots, of solid food.  His fav at the moment are quesadillas.
Loving all things electronic...remotes, keyboards, kemp's headphones, the xbox, smart phones.
He's still wearing 2T...and 18 mo. bottoms.  Still a big boy, but chilling a bit on the extreme growing.
Loving swinging/strolling at the park.
Being generally adorable...kid is seriously getting cuter everyday.


Jack walking at Nana's.

What?


I really suck at this.

And once again far too much time has gone by since I blogged last.  It's not exactly my first priority.  Blogging is somewhere between organizing my kitchen cabinets (I NEED to do this, I can't reach half of the things I use on a daily basis) and decorating Jack's room (Seriously, this may happen before he moves into his room...sometime before he's 10).  Yeah, so important, something I wish that I could do more often, and apparently not happening.  Ah loving the stay at home, full time school, holly housewife life...

Anyway I wanna try to do a bi-weekly post of Where Jack's At...you know what he's doing these days.  These will normally contain pictures.  I will do a picture only Where Jack's At sometime this weekend, but I hope they will normally include pics.

Because it's funny...

Can you see the fear in my eyes?
Just thought I would post this picture of me...it's literally hours before Jack came into the world, or more accurately was pulled out...

Jack is on the move. Officially.

Jack is crawling.  Everywhere.  Quickly.

He also enjoys pulling up on things.  Lots of things.  And most of them are not safe.

Photos and videos to follow.

Jack's rain boots...

If wishing makes it so then spring is definitely on its way! I'm so excited for gardening with my Jack-O-Lantern.... He'll most definitely need rain boots and a new spring wardrobe...

oh how i've missed you....


So I know it's been a long, long time since I posted.  I was right...all things neglected except one not so very small boy and grad school.  Trust me, literally everything else has been left as is, including unfortunately my house and my pseudo-"housewife" duties.  Ha to that anyway.  Per request...shout out to Meg...I'm gonna try to be better about updating and letting everyone know what's going on in babyland....  I will even go back in time a bit and try to do some posts that I should have completed about a year ago.  I know I'm late for everything, but I read enough blogs that I should be writing at least one.  So Jack and online lectures can take a back burner for a few minutes every couple of days while I update all my peeps that care on life as I know it.

Life with Jack

Jack in the tub.

Life post-pregnancy isn't that different than life pregnant.  Sort of.  Jack gives me personal space, when he naps.  But he is still very much tethered to me because of breastfeeding, which is going waaay better than I could have imagined after a bit of trouble in the beginning.

  My life is very baby centered and quite relaxed, actuallly.  I don't get a lot of sleep at night, but I don't have anywhere to go during the day so that's ok.  I am starting to get confident in my mothering abilities.  So we are starting to venture out into the world more.  This blog title seems a bit odd...but it'll have to do for now.  I'll try to   do a bit of a late pregnancy commentary with pictures because there at the end I mostly wanted to burrow in my bed until Jack came...and I did that.  I'll try to post pics and videos of Jack growing...he's almost 2 months!  He is huge.  But for now I must go because Jack is waking up for a nap and hungry I'm sure.
