What can I say, Jack and his Dad have been working on some essential developmental skills...

Back in the Box

For the first Jack in the Box picture, see April posts.

Not only is he back in the box, he's into everything, the pots and pans...



Here's a pic for Grandma Parrish: supporting the Orioles even way out west


It has been so warm all summer, no need for shoes. But, just before he grew out of these charming sneaks, we let him try out walking around in something other than his bare feet. He was perplexed at first, then fascinated...

Up to No Good

While in Texas Jack started pulling up and crawling up on his knees. Since then he's been nothing but trouble as he gets more and more confident standing and more and more speedy crawling. One of his favorite games is to chase the vacuum around the room as we attempt to clean the carpet. Mainly he loves exploring every nook and cranny, high and low.



The tiny hiney...

Here he is discovering the tea kettle. Note his left hand...on the candy jar.
And, here, his first attempt to climb. How does he even know what candy is? or that its worth climbing for? and yes, we will be relocating the candy jar...

Texas trip pics

Here are a few long overdue photos from our trip to Texas (yes, again!). Jim was at camp with high schoolers so Jack and I flew on down to the Lone Star State. We actually didn't end up taking a ton of pics, but here are a few featuring Jack's variety of expressions.

Shocking, simply shocking!
