Happy Halloween.

Jack and mom decorated this pumpkin in story time at the Granger Public Library.

Halloween Surprise.

Thank you Daren, Traci, and Lauren for the Halloween gift. Jack is a big fan of the Little People toys and especially farm animals.

Mommy's little angel.

Last Sunday, after church, we went to a park to play. While playing Jack tripped and hit his head directly between his eyes, he had a big lump very quickly, but now only has a small bruise.

Go U of I !

Staying warm.

H2O fan.

We have concluded that Jack does not like the taste of milk or juice. He now only drinks water from his sippy cup. At night he gets a 4 oz. bottle of Pediasure before bed.

Jack on the potty.

We started teaching Jack the basics to potty training at 15 months. Somedays are better then others...but our goal is to be fully potty trained by 18 months.

Jester Lakes Community gathering.

A bunch of people in our neighborhood got together and grilled out. We were lucky to have such great weather this late in October.

Jack discovers a new play area at the Valley West Mall in West Des Moines.

This is one of those distortion mirrors. Jack thought it was pretty interesting.

Building our immune system.

Jack playing at the mall playground. Monday Jack had his 15 month check up and shots. Jack did not receive his MMR shot because there is a shortage of the vaccine, but they should have some in time for his 18 month check up. He is now in the 77th percentile for height and 33rd percentile for weight.

Out for some BBQ with Dad.

Jack still has a fascination with touching ceiling fans and lights.

Jack must have been in the mood to model. You will notice his lips are pursed, he does this when he is teething. Last night he was up at 2 AM because of teething pains. Poor guy, but he did cut threw another molar on the top. So that makes it 6 teeth on top and 2 teeth on the bottom.

There is a wocket in my pocket.

Jack really enjoys reading. We normally go to the library at least once a week for story time. Jack often reads to himself, but prefers you to read to him.

Jack and Mom visit the Omaha Zoo.

This was Jack's favorite animal of his trip to the zoo. We spent about 20 minutes with this bird, he was quite a character.

Crazy big tree in the rainforest.

These monkeys were a hoot, they were like the 3 stooges. The monkey on the far left is holding her baby, that is orange in color.
