New Favorite Toy

When we were at cousin Katelyn's second birthday party last weekend, she got this tunnel and tent set! Jack LOVED IT!!! He wasn't afraid at all to crawl through it. So this weekend, we were at my parents and had Christmas with my dad's family. My cousin Erika had the tunnel for her son and then Jack got one too! We decided to keep it at my parent's so he would have something fun to play with when we are there.

We had a lot of fun with my family. For many of them, it was the first time seeing Jack. He did great around everyone and he even took his first steps! We were sitting in the living room at my aunt's house and Jack was standing about a foot away from me. I put my arms out and he took about 3 steps to get to me. So I tried it again, and he did it. Then I called for Kevin and he did it again. He ended up doing it 4 times in a row and then he did it a few more times later in the weekend. What a big boy he is! I am still betting that he will walk in February.

We have started Jack on some finger foods and so far he is doing well with them. He enjoys mac and cheese, ravioli, fruits, veggies, crackers and the new favorite ICE CREAM!!! He tried it for the first time at Katelyn's party and loved it. So last night, we went to Handle's (the best ice cream place...ever!) and got Jack a kid's scoop of vanilla. We got home and he sat on my lap and ate the WHOLE SCOOP! He even cried when it was all gone. I think we have created a monster. No more trips to the ice cream store without getting some for Jack! We are going to have so much fun this summer!

Tomorrow Jack will be 9 months old. We go to the doctor next Tuesday, so I will post all of his stats after that!

We have enjoyed our day off as a family. Too bad it is back to reality tomorrow!
