Jack at 10 Months

Hard to believe that my sweet boy is 10 months old! Jack is so much fun and his personality is really starting to show! Jack is so full of life and everything is fun, new and exciting to him. He loves to explore his surroundings and is determined to get whatever it is that he is after. He keeps us all very busy! He has decided that he does not like the word "no" or when we take something from him that he shouldn't have. He let's us know this by "fake crying" as Jarod calls it or by throwing a nice little fit on the floor. It's really hard for us to not laugh at him when he does this. He is so pitiful and cute!
I love watching him play with his toys. He is really starting to explore them and has learned how to get some of them to come on (the ones with music or other fun tricks). He either giggles at his toys or gets frustrated when they won't do what he wants them to do. He still enjoys banging on his toys or whatever else he can find. He is super fast at crawling and makes a break for the stairs whenever he sees an opening! He cruises around the furniture really well and will let go to get to other things. He can now walk behind his push toy but has yet to practice "standing". He won't keep still long enough to practice:)
He loves songs and music...he has started to "dance" and "move" when music is on, clap his hands and his newest trick is waving his finger when we sing "This Little Light of Mine". He loves pointing at things and giving "high fives". Jack also loves to make us laugh and will do this by funny faces, mimicking noises made or playing peek-a-boo. He started dropping his toys on purpose in the car so Allie will get them and it didn't take long for Allie to tell him that it wasn't a fun game:)
Jack pretty much eats whatever we eat but in smaller bites of course. I think two of his favorite things right now are pancakes and quesadillas, but he really will eat just about anything you give him. He makes a lot of funny and different faces...usually in reaction to something and he has a really "cheesy" smile!
We are all so blessed by our sweet little Jack and just love him so much!
* the first pic of Jack I love b/c it shows his top teeth!

This is Jack and his friend Gorilla...it's actually Allie's but he absolutely loves it! He attacks it all of the time and wrestles with it.

This is my sweet Jack the day after we found out he had the flu...he looks so sad...he is also wearing a hat b/c it was very cold in our house (the power had been off for 2 hrs)

"Hmm...I wonder what these taste like?"

"They don't taste like food"

"Maybe I should look for another one"

We went to the park last weekend (when it was over 70 degrees) so I decided to add a few of those pictures in with this post. Hard to believe that 3 days later it felt like negative 3, tons of ice on the ground, no school for 4 days and Jack got the flu! See my next post for snow pictures with my girl!

So serious!

My two favorite boys!

Love this girl!

She loves to "ham it up"

And "strike a pose"
