happy father's day!

jack and i got up early yesterday (or rather jack got up wicked early, so mom had no choice;) to make mike breakfast for his 1st official father's day! we celebrated father's day last year while i was pregnant, but it was more fun this year with jack actually here to participate! we made mike's favorites; western omelete, french toast, bacon, illy coffee & oj. jack also got to try french toast and he ate it in record time! no pictures, but jack and dad were eating their french toast together, and it was soooo cute!

mike had some schoolwork to do unfortunately, so jack and headed out to target for a pool float & beach towels. when we came back we ate lunch & packed up for the pool--we've joined a pool and it might be the smartest thing we've done yet, jack loves the water and it gives us something to do!

jack and dad "sunscreened" up and ready to go swimming...




mike also finished painting jack's high chair. i think it came out great, and love the brightness of the yellow...jack didn't really have much to say about it this morning other than "faster with the food ma!"



and to update you on jack...well, he is a bit obsessed with his crib soother, and as i type i keep hearing him turn it on and off, on and off...he's recently learned how. he should be napping, but i have a feeling it might take some persistence to get him down this morning. we also awoke to it a couple times this past week, at say 2am, 4am & just about every morning at 6am. he's so excited about it, he's actually waking up at night to play with it--ugh!? hopefully, this will pass as his sleep has regressed terribly with this last bout of teething. as if we haven't had a difficult time as it is with his sleep!?

Very cheerful highchair color... much easier to clean, too, when you can see the smushed everything all over it!! :-) I imagine the wood finish would hide some of the icky stuff?! I strongly dislike cleaning the highchair...

Happy 1st Father's Day, Mike!!

Beautiful high chair! Jack you are so lucky to have such great parents. Actually, all my grandchildren are very lucky to have such great parents...
Oh, by the way Jack, you are beautiful!
Love, Gram Taylor
