jack's love of water...

seriously, this kid loves water! here are some fun pics from last night's bath. you might ask why mike is in the tub with jack, and i can give you a funny answer actually...you see jack had a bit of a red tushy last night, so about 15 minutes prior to bath time i decided to let him go au natural...well during story time, jack decided he needed to tinkle and needless to say dad's lap seemed like the most appropriate place to do so!?

mike taught him to drink the bathwater, which is really quite gross, but we can't get him to stop doing it!



look at those lashes, us girls would kill for those!!


on a more serious note, jack's sleeping or rather trying to get jack to sleep has gotten ridiculously hard. he is at the age where all he wants is me. i could put him down completely asleep, but as soon as his head hits his mattress he freaks out, flips over, sits up and put his arms up for me to pick him up. it is also tough because he can pull up now, so he will do that repeatedly for long periods of time. needless to say we re-ferbered last night and both mike and i were so distraught over the whole experience. he gets so upset when you go in to check on him, and he's just plain mad at you. i think i cried during the whole process. please pray that last night was the worst of it, or i might not be able to follow through with it again tonight.

as not to end on such a somber note, i would like to report that jack continues to eat VERY well! we've tried tofu & lima beans this week, and he really seemed to like the tofu. i rolled cubes in cheerio dust and he was able to feed himself. the lima beans were ok...i think i would've had more luck had they not come at the end of lunch, but we'll give 'em another go! we're almost completely off of purees! go jack!

My fingers are crossed for a better night. If it's any consolation, Ben had his most horrible night last night- he had to have at least 50% of his body touching mine or he'd freak out- and I can't say for sure what was the cause of his upset. {{sigh}} Poor babies... poor us!

It just FEELS like it is!

Oh my goodness Jack, mommy will always be there for you. She will be a much happier mommy if you sleep a bit more. Give it a try for Gram Taylor! We still love you little guy! It looks like you and cousin Ben should live closer so you could chat during the night...
Love, Gram Taylor
