fun with uncle greg:)

my brother came to visit this weekend, and play "manny" ;) he and jack have a blast together, and i think it is because greg is just a big kid at heart! we had a lot of fun going to lunch, the mall and into the city for the afternoon. jack generally goes with the flow, as long as there are snacks and he doesn't have to be confined to his stroller for long periods of time!

our mall trip was in part due to jack's recent growth spurt. he literally grew out of 2 pairs of shoes in matter of a week! he got this balloon at nordstrom where we got his shoes. as you can see from pics below--he loved the balloon! he's never really had a balloon before, but i have a feeling there will be many balloons in the future:)

i just love greg's reaction in the background in this one!

my cute little guy...even with his serious face

this is his current smile as seen in the two pics below...so cute isn't it!?

on the never-ending food saga with him...i would call fish sticks a big, fat FAIL! he didn't like them at all. i thought it would be a good first foray into fish, but apparently not. he's also hating veggies right now. up until this week i was able to get purees in him, but now we're not eating veggies at all, unless i sneak them in;) we'll keep at it, and i assume like many phases, veggies will be "in" again!
