Jack has been pulling himself up to furniture alot today.




I wanted to get a picture of the boys together with their John Deere shirts on. But Max was getting annoyed with Jack cause he kept reaching up and grabbing his ear or feeling the back of his head. He kept saying "Stop it Jack." and sure had a grumpy look on his face.

I tried moving Jack a little so he'd be turned away a little bit. But Max was still not wanting to sit next to Jack. Jack was talking to Max. I think he was trying to say "Come on, Max. Just hurry up and smile for mommy, so we can get this over with."

Then he noticed some dandelions next to him and started picking them for me. I finally got Jack to smile but Max had a funny look on his face as he was saying "I pick a flower for you!" and handing me the dandelion.

The next try, Max smiles but I cut off part of his head and Jack starts crawling away.

So, I decided to forget getting them together and took some of them separate which is much easier.

Laughing at Hailey.

Jack loves to pull himself up to his toy baskets and start taking out toys one by one.

All day, Jack has been pulling himself up to furniture and when he wants to get back down, he just lets go with both hands and stands for a second with hands way up in air before falling backwards down to the floor. It's so funny. He sure isn't scared to let go. Hailey sure was laughing hard this morning when she turned music on to dance and Jack climbed up hanging onto the couch and started dancing too. She said "He's wiggling his booty." He'd look back and smile at her cause she was laughing so hard at him. He liked the attention. He always loves when he gets people to laugh. Max was sure a big helper today, bringing Jack toys to play with, taking stuff away from the dog when she was chewing things she wasn't supposed to, and cleaning up the toys. He was so proud of himself every time he'd do something and say "I am soooo nice." A couple times, Jack got one of his matchbox cars and went to put it in his mouth. Max very sweetly said "no no Jack" and very gently took the car away and gave him another more appropriate toy for him to play with. He'd hand it to him and say "Here you go, Jack. You can have dis one." He also kept going up and petting Jack's head every once in awhile throughout the day. After the boys woke up from their naps, I took the kids outside to play. Daddy came home around 4:30 and joined us outside. Then I took Jack in to get him ready to go get his pictures taken. They were pretty busy so we walked around the mall while we waited for our appointment time. He kept trying to crawl away but we got a couple cute pictures. Some of the other ones didn't turn out just because he has a runny nose and it showed in some of them. Too bad because I couldn't get the one where he was smiling really big because of that. It was time for bed when we got home.
