Here is Jack at 31 and 32 weeks old…
(August 30 & September 6, 2012)
During our first week in our new house, we did not have a washer/dryer, so Jack accompanied me to the laundromat. Here he is guarding the suitcase and our change purse…
On Jack’s 31 week birthday he experienced his first cross-country airplane ride! We went to Rochester, NY, complete with a layover in Chicago. If you remember, Jack had his first airplane ride at 13 weeks, but it was a short ride back and forth in one day and he slept through most of it. This time Jack did very, very well on the way there.
When we arrived, the first thing we did was visit Great Grandma Dorothy! As you can see in the photo above, she was so delighted to finally meet her 5th great grandchild, Jack Lawrence. And Jack was happy to be able to wish her a happy 100th birthday in person. Yes, my Grandma turned 100 years old on September 1st and we had a fun celebration over Labor Day weekend! Here are some photo highlights…
At the birthday party, Jack was a party animal…
He discovered his first balloon, chatted with Great Grandma, played with everyone and kept trying to crawl…
The next day we decided that the 3 of us would take a day trip to visit Niagra Falls!
Looking back on the photos, it’s clear that Jack wasn’t himself, but at the time we did not know he was about to get his first cold. This cold made the return airplane flight much more difficult. Here we are in our seats on the plane – look at those sad, sick eyes. Poor peanut…
A baby with a cold may just be one of the saddest things since they don’t understand it and there’s not a lot you can do for them except comfort and aspirate. And the progress we were making on Jack’s night sleep regressed. Boo.
However…
I still think he is the sweetest boy ever.

How wonderful! I’m quite sure that GGDorothy was delighted to meet Mr Jack Lawrence as it seems to me, that he captivates the heart of all his acquaintances ; ). He is growing so very fast and is absolutely adorable. Hugs to you all!
