September 29th - Quite a shiner

Today I was peeking at Jack on ParentWatch and noticed that one of the substitute teachers was holding Jack. Now Jack is too busy to be held by his favorite teachers, so this seemed odd to me. I glanced at my phone looking for the familiar "Infant 2" on the read out and eventually the call came. He tripped and fell against the corner of a table and split his eyelid open. They wanted me to come take a look. I rushed over, calling the pediatrician's office on the way. They told me what to look for. I called them again when I was with him. I didn't think it looked that bad, but was happy when they suggested bringing him by just to make sure. After waiting for AN HOUR (!!!) we finally got in and a nurse cleaned Jack's wound up. Dr. Quillin took a look at it and determined that they didn't need to glue it or stitch it. So I took Jack back to school in time for a late lunch and a nap. This is what his eye looked like the next day. A week later, the scab was all healed up. You can still see a little pink streak (a month later), but it isn't bad.

Summer Swimming Fun

This summer we took several trips to our neighborhood pool. It was a wonderful way to cool off a bit in the sweltering Houston heat. Mommy also loved to feel a little weightless for a while with her growing belly. Jack loved every aspect of it. We played in the big pool and the kiddie pool. And Jack loved all of the helicopters and airplanes that would fly overhead from nearby Ellington Field.

September 17th - Everything is a hat





September 16th - Helping Daddy

September 15th - Naptime

We don't often get a glimpse of Jack sleeping. He was sent home with a fever yesterday, but otherwise he seems perfectly fine. I did have to wake him up from his nap to go see the doctor, so I thought I would take advantage of this moment to take a picture of my sweet boy. Jack checked out alright. This was Jack's last nap in the nursery. It is time for his new room.

September 9th - Free parking

Today was the STS-115 launch. Jack was playing with his little space shuttle and decided to park it next to his other vehicles at the front door. It was very cute.

September 3rd - Dress up

Jack loves trying on our shoes and shuffling around in them. He also loves his safari hat, which he got a Tess' birthday party this past spring.


September 2nd - Baby brother

August 20th - New room

Ronny finished painting Jack's new room and he set up a crib for Jack there as well.

August 13th - Sand and water

We got a new sand and water table. Jack didn't exactly play with it as we expected, although we should have expected it. He loved to scoop the water out and scoop sand into the water side of the table. He wanted to take all of the parts from the water side and put them in the sandy side. He even tried a taste of sand and then came to Mommy to fix it. There wasn't much I could do about that!

July 30th - Feeding the baby

Grandma sent Jack a little baby to help him get used to the idea of having a baby around. Here he is feeding the baby some corn.

July 30th - Daisy's Birthday Party

Today we went to Daisy's first birthday party at Moody Gardens. We got a behind the scenes look at this great penguin named Biggio. We had lots of fun!


July 23rd - Visiting Great Grandpa

Today we went to visit Jack's Great Grandpa across town. Jack read some books with Nana, played on the chairs with Papa, and shook hands with Great Grandpa.
