Crawler

As of last week, we officially have a crawler.  

Still pretty wobbly, but practicing every day and getting a bit further each time.

Cat: 1, Jack's Nose: 0

As a result, the cat and Jack's relationship has become more interesting.  

He wants to play and she wants no part of it.  Hopefully they will both adjust.

Father's Day

For his first official Father's Day, Derrick requested a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts to see the samurai exhibit.  So, Jack had his first trip to Boston proper and his first museum experience.

Jack did great and even seemed to enjoy himself.  

He liked looking around at everything and giving us his opinion on what he saw.

Overall, a nice afternoon.

Nine Month Checkup

Waiting for the Dr.  

(The expression!  The fuzzy hair!  The rolls!)

Jack had his 9-month checkup this week, despite being nine and a half months old.  He is still hovering around the 80th percentile for weight at 23.9 pounds, but is literally off the chart for height at 31 inches.

He got his polio shot and the last shot of the series for Hepatitis B, which I wasn't expecting, but he did great.  Only a few tears.

Our doctor visits tend to be pretty efficient since the things the pediatrician is most concerned about (sleeping through the night, eating well, plenty of dirty diapers, moving around, babbling) he has no problems with.  He is otherwise healthy at this time.

One year checkup in two and a half months!

Small Fry

Chubb Rock's first french fry.  A very important milestone!

Haircut

Happy with his fluffy rooster bedhead hair.  No idea what is about to happen.

Not happy about the process, but I hope he likes it.

Weekend

A plastic bin with some cool water, a silly hat and a margarine container are all you need for some fun.

An empty Sriracha bottle helps too.

Top it off with trying some watermelon while sitting on the porch with Dad 

and you've got a pretty good weekend.

New Hat

So, that went well.
