pointer finger

we got jack a new toy today. it was our first time buying something off of craigslist. i love craigslist! we got him this table toy that he has already fallen in love with. i went on craigslist to look for a play yard for jack to play in instead of having a cooler and tubberware blocking him off from the rest of the room :) so if anybody notices somebody selling one on craigslist let me know!
jack loves to point with his left hand and grab with his right hand. he points all the time! my parents think that it is so funny!

pointing again!

and again!
he got this toy from mimi and pop to help him walk....why oh why?!? luckily he doesn't understand to walk behind it yet so he just likes to sit on it and hit it's nose to make it play music. that is something else that he has started lately....he knows that if he hits some part of a toy that it will play music or make a noise. he has a ball popper toy and he has finally figured out that if you hit the top it will pop the balls.

jack has also started to stick his tongue out all the time! it is so funny!! he likes to say "lalalala"

jack is standing really well these days. he has better balance and is sitting down from standing a whole lot better (thank goodness). he says "blah blah". he throws a ball for pete (with a little help). he took one step without holding onto anything the other day (7-3-09) but hasn't really done it since. so i think it was just an accident. he does "cruise" the furniture a ton now. and when i clap my hands together and hold out my arms to him he comes toward me...so cute! he is doing so much!!
