Here is Jack at 45 weeks old…
(December 6, 2012)

This was a week we didn’t take many photos. And we sure didn’t get the formal photo done. But, I think this photo of Jack in his Grandpa Larry’s cowboy hat more than makes up for it.
I did take some cute photos of Jack one morning in what we like to call his big boy pajamas. These were hand-me-downs from Jack’s big-boy friend Johnny in Montana. I call this photo “Mr. Hilarious”…

Jack gets more and more fun and more and more active every day. He continues to be a huge fan of taking random objects out of containers…



That may be the only time you see him with a pacifier in his mouth these days. He hasn’t taken one since before he could sit up, but they are very good items for the random container unloading game.
Jack is cruising furniture with more confidence and making many more attempts to mimic our words. The only one we are certain he knows is Book. But it comes out Duutk. We love it. I love watching him begin to identify things easily. My favorite thing is to say “Jack, where’s the monkey/dog/train/car/book/etc?” and have him point or grab it. Then he gets really proud. It’s very cute.
Jack still loves the outdoors the best! Especially on walks with his Dad…

See him pointing, like, Come on, Dad, let’s goooooo! And now for a 2006 hip-hop song reference: Look at me I’m ridin’ Daddy! Yes, we sing that to him.
