Jack's New Play Table

We found a steal on a play table that encourages functionality while standing for $5 on Craigslist. The only problem, Fisher Price wasn't planning on 10 month olds as tall as 2 year olds, way too short. Put his booster seat in front of him and away he goes...

Baby Gate

That moment when your son gets so excited that he can finally move wherever he wants to, and then you crush his spirit with a baby gate.

A couple Jack videos I took on my phone:

Jack is a bear when we change his diapers and clothes.  He kicks, flips over and wants into everything.  He definitely is a challenge to change - a fun challenge, but still a challenge.

Jack is really into ripping paper... Christmas should be fun!

Week of 10/25 - 11/2

It has been a busy couple weeks.  Last week I traveled to a conference in MI for 3 days, came home, made snacks and treats for Halloween and threw a baby shower for good friends!  Craziness. 

Afterwards, I enjoyed wine and a nap. 

11/2 - It started to get cold down here so we got Jack bundled up.  I love this pic of him.  All ready to go shopping with Mommy on Sunday - he is such a doll out in public,
really easy and always smiling at people.
The kid has some charisma. 
He's a total flirt. 

10/25 - DeCair Pumpkins - Colin made a New Glarus logo - Moon Man, mine were leaves and a bejewled D - of course!

10/27 - I attended a B1G Ten Housing Officers Conference last week at Michigan State and got my picture with Sparty! The mascot really enjoyed our group. 

10/25 - I love this pic - Jack at the ILLINOIS Homecoming Busey Bank Tailgate. 

Jack loves eating his jammies. 

10/28 - A pic Colin sent me while at the conference - I love sleepy morning Jack!

10/30 - Colin and I made popcorn balls to 'reverse trick or treat' to our neighbors.  We brought Jack around and handed them treats!

10/30 - Jack's treat he brought for the daycare Halloween Party.     So cute!

11/1 - Dr. Suess Themed baby shower!
A book for everyone to write wishes to the new baby!
In the background is one of the pom poms
I learned to make on my own.
I made many, I'm officially a pom pom pro. 

All the food was Dr. Suess themed. I hand painted all of the styrofoam creations.  I had a blast doing it!
