JT: Eating, Laughing, Talking, Chewing...In That Order


6/5/2010 Jack T & Rice Cereal - Night 2
So far, Jack T has done a great job with his rice cereal.  Twice since we started he's eating almost the entire amount we've been preparing (which is about 4 oz).  I think he's not really fond of the delivery mechanism, but he's getting used to it!


6/5/2010 Jack T, Rice Cereal & Laughs with Mommy
There isn't much rice cereal eating in this video, but Mary was really getting him to laugh!  I'd say up until recently, his laughs were mostly chuckles, but lately, they've been developing into full-fledged laughs.  If a baby laughing doesn't make you smile, you have no heart :)


6/8/2010 Jack T Talks - Part 1
The other night, out of nowhere, Jack T started babbling at us!  We didn't catch the best parts on video, but you can get an idea of what we heard here.  It was awesome!  If he's anything like his mother, he'll be a great conversationalist.

Catch Up: Jack T, Vacations, Birthdays & More

Wow, it's been a long time since we've had an update.  There's no way to cover everything that's happened since the last post, so allow me to summarize...

Jack T is now almost 5 months old!  FIVE MONTHS!  Time is just flying by.  He has continued to amaze us every day with his discoveries and adventures.  He has rolled over from tummy to back many times, he just started eating rice cereal, he took his first airplane ride, he is sleeping 10-11 hours a night, and today Mary saw the first signs of a tooth coming in!  Of course, there is quite a bit more, but that is the summary.

Mary and I also had a little "vacation" to Washington DC with her parents.  Although we didn't have a lot of time to look around at the sites, we did get to see the World War II Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and we drove by a few other sites.  I'd love to go back again to spend more time soaking up the history.  Apparently, there is a lot more to our nation's capitol than I saw on my 8th grade field trip.  Oh, we also ate one night at The Burger Joint...awesome burgers!

Another big event was the birth of Jack's new best friend, Benjamin Patrick on March 26! We are so happy that Jack not only has lots of cousins close in age, but also that he'll be friends with some of our best friends' kids. The boys have been in the same place at the same time, but obviously they aren't really aware of each other yet.

Admist all the goings on, we decided to try and sell our condo and look for a home in the burbs. We love our condo and living in the city, but after Jack T was born we came to a realization: babies need a lot of stuff!

Look for videos and pictures to follow!
