I had been wanting to make it to one of Rhys's t-ball games all summer, and finally, Mary, Jack T & I made it to one! It was a good thing, too, as it was his last game of the year. Mary, Jack T and I joined my dad (Jack 2.0), my sister Liz and her family (G, Carys, and Alys) at Little Cubs Field in Humboldt Park to cheer Rhys on.
Here are a couple videos from a few days ago. I usually try to space out my posts a bit, the video of Jack laughing was just so funny, I couldn't wait any longer!
8/8/2010 - Jack T Is No Blockhead
We finally got out some soft plastic toy blocks for Jack to play with. He seemed to really like them, especially because he could sort of put them in his mouth, which is his primary requirement.
8/9/2010 - Jack T Learns To Laugh, I Mean Really Laugh
Mommy discovered something that was apparently really funny to Jack T. Waving a plastic bag back and forth. It's the little things in life, I guess, right?
Here are some photos from Jack T's sixth month. I'm a little behind on these photos, as he'll be 7 months old in just three days...crazy how time flies!!
Jack T turned 6 months old on July 13! He has mastered rolling over, got really good at holding himself up on his arms while on his tummy, and started to spin himself around a bit. He also started eating rice cereal and has gotten very good at it. Aside from his 6-month birthday, he also celebrated his first Father's Day, first 4th of July and got to spend time with lots of family and friends!
Well, the title pretty much says it all. Here are some recent videos of our little guy.
7/18/10 - Jack T & Grandpa Jim make some great music!
7/25/10 - Mary and I took Jack T & Bentley for a mini picnic at the park looking out at Foster Avenue Beach. We just sat in the shade and enjoyed a nice breeze and time with each other as a family! What an awesome day!
7/27/10 - We finally got a chance to break out Jack's ExerSaucer. It's got more toys than I think he can handle!

For a while now, Mary and I have wanted to take advantage of living in the city. Especially while we live so close to so many fun things. I think so many Chicagoans take so many of Chicago's offerings for granted. Yesterday, we took advantage of living near Lake Michigan and decided to spend some time on the lake front. Of course, we weren't the only people who wanted to take advantage of the awesome weather we had yesterday. We ended up driving through Lincoln Park north for a ways up through Montrose Beach until we finally found a parking spot at Foster Beach. After that, it was a short walk to a nice semi-shady spot looking out at the lake. We had lunch and played with Jack T in the fresh air. Bentley also got to romp around a bit. We spent about two hours just relaxing and taking in the moments. It was exactly what we wanted!
Of course, we took a few pictures :)
