Sanderling

For our 4th anniversary John and I headed down to the Sanderling with Jack. We had a great time playing with Jack there and in case you were curious, Jack likes "foreign" sand almost as much as "local" sand.

BIG Happenings in the Watson House

Lots of big news here in the Watson household. First and foremost, Jack is going to be a BIG brother!! Yes, you read that correctly...Baby Watson #2 is cooking and due the last day in February. I've been feeling pretty rough and overly exhausted so keeping up with Jack has been a challenge. Which brings me to my next big news: Jack is walking!! It started as random standing in the middle of the room and then on his 11 month birthday he started to take steps! I have tried to take a few pictures but he is too fast for my camera. My last of the big news is that Jack said Dada for the first time a few weeks ago...AND he said it to John...no luck so far in getting him to say mama but we will get there :)

Jack now has 4 teeth!! those top ones are HUGE!

as if walking isn't enough...he is also a climber....

July 2010

July has been a busy month, I am sure you have noticed by the lack of blog posts this month. After starting the month of good with lots of fun playdates, 4th of July, swimming and beach time, Jack came down with hand foot and mouth disease (gross!!), had an interesting object swallowing incident with queen, had his 2 top teeth pop through and a cold!!
Jack is now 10 1/2 months old! He has started to stand unassisted for a few seconds, can walk with a walking toy or with some help but I think we still have ways to go until he is truly walking. His aunties Betsey and Kimberly came in town for a week and taught him how to go DOWN the stairs...I really am in trouble now :) He is turning more into a snuggler which we both love and really really loves watching cartoons in bed with us in the morning. Mickey Mouse clubhouse is his favorite...don't ask me why. He is eating more and more "people food" and fighting me more on the jarred baby food...I guess I can't blame him.

Playdate with Alice

4th of July weekend we got to have a playdate with one of Jack's favorite girlfriends, Alice Tafel. We went swimming over at Queen's house and Jack got a lesson on how not to act around girls from his uncle Cliffie and Walter....very entertaining to say the least :)
