that mean old vacuum...

jack has recently become easily startled by noises. for the first time today he cried when i turned on the vacuum!? i knew it was about this age when it would happen, but i had tried to preempt this by always using the vacuum in front of him. alas, it didn't work and i ended up having to swiffer and hold him at the same time! hoping this is a short phase because it will seriously hinder my neurotic cleaning habits:)

as you can see from this face i was unable to convince him the vacuum wasn't scary...poor guy! i have no idea how he mastered the bottom lip?!
