shawn heard him talking to himself back in our bedroom one day and so went to take a peek. he was reading his david books, which my aunt ruth gave to him and he loves, to himself. "no, david, no" he was saying. shawn giggled and jack lifted the book up, saw shawn and said "go away" and went back to reading his book.
it's not that he loves these boots or that he's obsessed, but he picks the oddest times to wear them. this was the latest. he was kind of mad at me for wanting to take a picture, he's old enough that he gets a little embarrassed when we think he's funny.
does anyone have any recommendations for a moving truck company? we should probably reserve one soon to get a better rate and i've been doing some price shopping, but does anyone have any horrendous stories, or any good ones for that matter? it would be most helpful.
he's a natural. nothing more to say except that i wear a different outfit when i play.
ok, so this feels a little surreal to me. this blanket that jack is cuddling with is my baby blanket that my great-grandma made for me. i LOVED this thing (still do) like i'm sure many of you did. when i need a little extra love, i still cuddle in it. well, here's my kid when he was itsy-bitsy and now, in my baby blanket. what's surreal? everything: i have a kid of my own (not to mention another on the way), he's huge already (where does the crazy time go?), and i still love my baby blanket like i did when i was 5.
jack loves to go swimming, so through the winter we've been going to the rec center on saturdays to swim and play ball. it's loads of fun and a way to get out and be active despite the cold weather. one saturday, we had put jack in his suit and while the rest of us were getting ready, he found his snow boots and wanted them on. it's the kind of outfit that when i see it on other little kids i think "why did your parents let you go out like that?" and now i know. it's hilarious. as you can see, he was a little embarrassed i think because shawn and i were laughing so hard.
IT'S A BOY!!!!!
we just found out yesterday. kind of randomly crazy, i switched doctors all of the sudden on tues. and they had an opening for an ultrasound the next day (yesterday), so it was unexpected but very exciting. shawn and i were shocked, we had both been sure it was a girl and had gotten used to the idea. i said "are you sure?" to the technician and she said "oh, yes". then i asked if there was any way it would turn into a girl and she said "not this one". he was not shy about showing the whole package. i was bummed for about 10 min. and then got in my car and just started laughing. it's gonna be a lot of fun. growing up i always said i wanted all boys...here we go!
