Just Hanging Around

Halloween Preview

I was going to wait until Halloween to show this to you, but I couldn't resist! Let's just keep it a secret from Grandma (Violet) Higgs until Halloween.

Jack does not appreciate this humiliation!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

29 candles (our friend Elena in the background and Jack in his swing)

Elena liked the cake.
This was my first time making German Chocolate frosting, and it turned out very well. I was proud of myself. :)

Standing Up

Jack has been able to hold his own weight pretty much since he was born, and he does it very often. In this picture I am just helping him balance, but he is standing. I'll bet he'll walk early.

Catoctin Mountain Park, MD

Jack loves to go walking outside. He stares with wide eyes at the trees above. (If you click on this picture you can see his face a little closer.) We can't wait to take him camping in Georgia with Mom's family next month!
The pack puts him to sleep without fail.

These are the wide eyes I was talking about.

Two handsome boys

Blue Eyes, Part III

I hope you don't mind if I say...this child is so beautiful!

Look at these adorable puppy slippers!

General Conference Sunday

In Mom and Dad's bed
(Does that face remind you of a Cabbage Patch kid?)

First ride in the pack facing forward -- there's so much to look at!

Listening to General Conference...or distracting us from listening

Beautiful Boy

You can see why I'm in love with this little boy.

Chair

Jack has this chair that he sits in wherever I am, like in the kitchen while I'm cooking.

He fell asleep in it in the dining room while we were eating dinner (with his hand on his knee).

Thank you Uncle David & Aunt Catherine!

Trip to Ithaca, NY

With Anita and her motherButtermilk Falls

With Grandpa Bill

Can't believe this child is only 2 months...he looks so old!

Jumpster

Jack is still a little too small for this. He can't hold himself up in it that well (he's propped up by his arms in this picture).

Jack Likes to Sleep All Sprawled Out

Wiggling!

He's so big. He looks much bigger than a 2-month-old to me. He's got strong legs too. Almost from the beginning he has been able to stand and support his own body weight with someone holding him. Do we have a future athlete here?

Smiling

Do I see dimples?

I have no idea why these videos are so dark. Sorry!

Father/Son Time

Thank You, Uncle Paul

for the beautiful rocking horse!
