DJ Jazzy Jack

We received Jacks' football headphones (for rowdy games and concerts) just in time for this weekends big family collegiate rivalry: ISV v NAU! How loud can it really get in the Skydome is TBD but better safe than sorry.

He actually loves wearing them as you can see here. Too bad they are NAU blue...

P.S. I promise that I wiped his nose right after!

Swing Time!

The lows are finally in the 75-80 region and I "think" we are back to double digits for the high. This is a big deal and we are making up for the lost summer with soccer games, walks and trips to the park. Here is Jack hitting the swing for the first time:

Happy Birthday Opa!

Jack had a great time celebrating Opa's birthday! Here they are people watching while waiting for dinner.

9 Months Old

Jack turned nine months old on 9/1! He is such a big boy, and thinks he is even bigger....

His is in the 75% for his height and head and 30% for his weight. The Dr. gave him a healthy baby stamp.
Stats: 19.9 lbs & 29 inches

Family Photo Shoot

We recently went up to Flagstaff to cool off, visit some friends and have our first "official" family photo shoot. Our photographer, Heather Kadar, shot our wedding (and our engagement photos) so it was nice to introduce Jack. In hindsight, we would have maybe waited until he was a bit older not because he wasn't good during the shoot but because we all look like we hadn't slept in days...

I am still downloading the files and there is much debate about one that we all (Laura + Travis) agree on.

Picture Time

Shortly after this photo he climbed on top and then couldn't get down.

(sorry, finally uploaded the photos to go with the post)

Jack is 8 months old today (8/1/11)! He is still an amazingly happy baby and seems to have never meet a stranger...kind of like his Dad?!? Or Opa?

At 8 months, Jack is into:

• Crawling and climbing,
• Drinking water from adult cups, apparently sippy cups are for kids
• Watermelon
• Talking
• Wrestling
• 9 month clothes
• Hammering
• Swimming
• Big kid food, he successfully swiped a bite of Dad's bacon wrap the other day!
