graduation and mother's day

this is the first time jack sat in the cart at target. he loved it! he doesn't like to sit in his stroller in stores. he likes his stroller outside though! i know this looks kind of funny, but he isn't steady enough in the cart to not have something next to him...i need to start bringing blankets or something to put next to him.

graduation weekend

playing with his cousin molly

johnny's family (mom, mary, molly, jimmy, dad, rise, phillip, and becky) and my family (mom, dad, and michele) came in town for johnny's graduation. we had lots of fun visiting with everybody and seeing them play with jack. we are all so proud of johnny!

this was a very special mother's day because it was my first one and i got to spend it with my mom!

jack liked playing in the fountain with mimi

beach time

my little beach bum

jack liked the pool this time...yay! he loved to splash the water, but didn't like it when it splashed him in the face :)

cool dude!

sleepy boy

hehehe

house played with jack on this overstuffed couch for about 20 to 30 minutes and jack had a blast! and then crashed :) pete was worn out from watching them play.

packing, packing, packing

we are packing up our apartment getting ready to move to birmingham and jack decided that he wanted to play in one of our boxes :)

jack is pulling up on EVERYTHING! he stands up by the couch, holding onto our legs, his bumbo, pillows, his excersaucer, etc. it is crazy what he can do! he is getting big!

as i mentioned before, we are packing for our big move...so this will probably be our last post until we get to b'ham. we are very excited about moving, but we are sad too. this was our first home after we got married, where we got pete, and where we brought jack home. we have already had to say goodbye to a lot of our friends, but we will see them again someday. i have a lot of great memories of the past four years in mobile and i am really excited about what the next four years will bring in birmingham!
