frank came to visit

jack had fun with his cousin frank. jack showed him all of his favorite toys!

father's day 2009

jack gave his "dada" a grill, a grilling cookbook, and cedar planks.

i had big plans to wake up and make johnny a yummy breakfast. jack was playing so nicely in the den and i preheated the oven and got 2 biscuits out to bake...then the power goes out!! so we went to mcdonald's and got breakfast and johnny's much needed coffee!

jack with his daddy on father's day after dinner. susan brought kfc over for johnny and my dad for father's day (my dad is here working very hard on our house). jimmy came over to celebrate also. it was a nice day :)

jack is 8 months old...i can't believe it!!! he is doing so much now. he is saying "dada" over and over and over. although he doesn't just say it to johnny....everything and everybody is dada. his favorite food is gerber's chicken and apples. he pulls up on everything and then stands alone for a about 15 to 30 seconds at a time. he is sitting down a lot more gracefully now. he can walk holding on to something...yesterday he walked along the couch to get to a magazine.

jack standing up looking at his curious george

he loves the yellow part of his stacking rings.

this is a video of jack standing up all by himself. i can't believe how much he has changed in 8 months.

i have 5 other videos to put on here but it is taking way too long...so look out for videos of jack saying "dada", at the lake, and wanting a beer bottle!!
