Ram Fan

I took Jack to the university basketball game this weekend. He loved it! As soon as we walked in he got excited. He loved the music they played during timeouts, the action of the basketball players, and the cheers from the cheerleaders. He wasn't sure what to think about the school mascot the first time he came around, but the second time the ram came around he shook his hand.

Where's Jack?

I walked into Jack's room the other day and found him hiding in his toy box. We normally keep the lid on it but he managed to get the lid off and crawl inside. He had a blast just sitting in there and playing with all the toys around him.

First Art Work

This is Jack's first attempt at art. He did this in school, and you can tell he had lots of help. But those are definently his hand prints.

Halloween Pics

We took Jack to the mall where Shaun works to trick or treat. He had been sick so we decided it was best to keep him indoors. He still was feeling real great so we made a couple of candy stops then we headed home.

Noodles, Noodles, Everywhere!

I heated myself up an italian TV dinner, Jack decided it was his. He ended up eating almost the entire thing. He loved it.

Peek-a-Boo

Jack found yet another way to play peek-a-boo. He's just so darn cute.

Kitty Kat

Shaun got this straw for Jack at taco bell. It is so cute! When he drinks out of the straw it looks like he is wearing a kitty cat mask.

Messy Eater---Understatement

Jack got to eat pasta with red sause for the first time this week. He had a great time and got sauce all over him and everything else.

Mimi and the Park

When my mom came up to visit we took Jack to a park that is close to the house. It's a nice little park and it's so close we can walk there. Jack was running around every where. He's getting really hard to keep up with.

The Morning Grind

One morning I took some pictures of Jack getting ready for school. Not very glamorous, as you can tell.

Fort Worth Zoo

Before we moved up to Fort Worth my mom and I took Jack to the zoo here. It's a fantastic zoo, all the animal exhibits are amazing. The way they are set up you feel like your right next to the animals. Jack had a great time.

Crazy about Hats

I took these pictures right before we moved. Jack is really into hats right now because Daddy wears a hat. He likes to take them off and put them back on. It's so cute how it tries to immitate Shaun.

We're Moving

We moved to Fort Worth this last weekend. I started my new job as the secretary for the Office of Advancement at Wesleyan University this Monday. Shaun starts his new job next week. We're still unpacking boxes, and we probably will be for a while.

Bunny Love

Jack loves this giant pink bunny. It really belongs to my mom but Jack has claimed it as his own. He carries it around the house and when he decides the bunny needs a hug he throws it down on the floor and loves on it.

Lollipop

Ok, so I admit it. My first thought when I gave Jack this giant lollipop was how cute the pictures would be, and I was right. He had a great time enjoying this sweet treat and getting covered in sticky drool.

San Antonio Zoo

We had a family outing to the San Antonio Zoo. Me, Shaun, Jack and Mimi and Papa Beauchamp all went. Jack had a great time checking out all the animals. After touring the zoo Shaun and I took him for a ride on the Brackenridge park train. He loved it until he fell asleep. He was so pooped he couldn't stay awake for the whole ride.

Dallas Zoo

We took Jack to the the Dallas Zoo this July. His favorite part was the giant fish tank in the childrens zoo. It had big viewing windows that you could get right next to. He loved when all the fish would swim right up to him. They also had a man made stream that the kids could play in and cool off.



  

Daddies Caddy

Shaun took Jack and me for a round of golf today and we had a blast. Jack loved being outside and hanging out with Daddy. Jack also thought riding around in the golf cart was pretty awesome.

Overalls

Little boys always look so cute in overalls!


  

  

Central Park

We stumbled across a park in Austin off of Guadalupe called Central Park. It's a very pretty park with nice walking paths and benches to sit on a duck pond and beautiful trees. One of the trees is so huge that it's massive branches reach all the way to the ground.

Watermelon Thump

We missed the Luling Watermelon Thump so we decided to make it up to Jack. We bought a couple of watermelons with the intention of first taking his picture with them and then letting him eat some messy watermelon outside. The pictures went alright but the watermelons weren't very tasty. Better luck next time.

Uff! Uff!

Jack informed us "dog, uff uff". What a smart boy! He now goes around the house making barking noises, "uff uff uff". We rented 101 Dalmations and he absolutely loved it. Through out the whole movie he barked. Then he started saying "pup pup" when he would see all the puppies. It was so cute.

Shades

We spend a lot of time outside, so I thought I would try and get Jack use to wearing his sunglasses. It's a miracle he kept them on long enough to get this picture. He would much rather play with them then wear them.

Dog-gone it!

Well it's only natural that Jack has had a fascination with dogs. With two inside dogs and two more that sleep outside, he's been surrounded by dogs since he was born. Heck, Herbert(pug) even eats dinner with us. Today Jack spoke his first real word, besides Mama and Dada, and of course it had to be dog. All day long when he would see a dog he would start up "Dog, Dog, Dog". Of course his pronunciation leaves a little room for interpretation, but I am sure he is saying dog. When I would mimic him and say dog back he would get excited, like "yeah, you finally understand me".

Awesome Elmo Blanky

Since Jack is obsessed with Elmo I come up with crazy Elmo ideas to make. I came up with the idea of a blanket shaped like a giant Elmo head then convinced my mom to make it. It turned out so cute. It is totally the cutest Elmo blanky ever. The first time Jack saw it he had an absolute fit. He loves his new Elmo blanky.

Bucket Head

Jack thought this bucket made a great hat. Maybe he'll start a new fashion trend.

If Your Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands

Yeah! Jack learned to clap his hands yesterday. He has learned to do a ton of other things, but had just neglected to learn hand clapping. He could give five, walk backwards, and do a lot of other stuff that I find way impressive. I was beginning to think that his hands were each embedded with magnets of opposite attraction that forcibly kept his hands from coming together. Luckily I was wrong and he can clap his hands. Yeah!

Fishy Face

Yesterday Jack learned another new talent, fishy face. I put him in his highchair for dinner and he started making silly faces. The silly faces turned into fishy faces. Once I figured out what he was doing I started making fishy faces to and he would mimic them back at me. Jack thinks it's a super fun game.

X-Box

This picture is of Shaun and Jack playing video games. You can tell by Jack's face he is already addicted. I'm just glad Shaun only gets the urge to play X-Box about once every two months or so.

Palmetto State Park

We made a day trip over to Palmetto State Park to go hiking. Me and Shaun took turns carrying Jack in the back pack, he loved being up high and being able to see everything around him. We walked down to the river and of course we had to make a pit stop at the swings. It is a really nice park and Jack really liked checking out all the scenery around him.
