Granny and Grandpa's Visit

Grandpa and Granny B. made the trip down the turnpike last weekend to see our new house and of course to play with Jack. Jack had a great day and enjoyed showing off his toys and his room. We had a blast! Here are some pics:

Fun, fun, fun!

Jack has just been so much fun lately! He is getting so big (February 9 is just around the corner!!!) and is signing well and working on new words. He just loves playing and his favorite things right now are: pushing his train around the room, riding on his train, watching his Baby Einstein water DVD, playing in the bathtub, reading "Pat the Bunny," reading "Clifford," rolling the ball, playing peek-a-boo by hiding around the corner while we wonder "Where is Jack?," and his favorite thing is to be chased by Mommy and Daddy. When he gets caught we tickle him. He'll usually stop and look back if we don't catch him quickly enough just so that we can catch up. It is too precious.

We can't believe he will be turning one in just two short weeks but I guess they really do grow up quickly. We're working on weaning off of the bottle and using a sippy cup. Jack loves the cup but doesn't seem to get much out of it so it may take awhile!

Here are some recent pics of our little cutie:

We just thought this one was funny...

Jack's First Christmas

Jack had a WONDERFUL first Christmas filled with family, fun, and of course many, many new toys! On Christmas Eve, we drove up to Tulsa to spend time with the Biggs side of the family at Granny and Grandpa's new house. Jack had a blast and was worn out on the drive home. On Christmas morning, Santa Clause came to Grammy's (since we hadn't moved yet) and that proved quite fun but a little overwhelming, too. We spent the afternoon at Mumo's house and Jack did very well and even took a good nap. All in all, it was a great day. By sharing Christmas with our child, Randy and I felt more blessed than ever this year.

Here are a few pics. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take very many, so if any Grammys or Grannys would like to email me more, I would appreciate it!

Photo Shoot

We had a little photo shoot with Jack and the dog, Jake, the other day. It was quite funny and we ended up with some priceless pictures. Here are a few of them...

10 Months

Jack turned 10 months old yesterday! I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast. Here are some more pics:

Updates

Wow, it's been a long time since we've posted anything. It's been busy around here! Some good news- our car and our house finally sold!!! The house is especially a blessing considering the new house will be done in only a couple of weeks. We were beginning to get nervous. We should close in McKinney on Dec. 27 and move straight into the new house.

Jack had a wonderful Thanksgiving, except for the fact that we were missing my grandpa, Papo, who was in the hospital for a few days. On the following Sunday, Jack was dedicated at Crossings Community Church. It was a wonderful day to thank God for our little one and to dedicate ourselves as parents, as well. Jack had so many family members there to watch- his Granny B. even drove in from Tulsa and Uncle Kenny came from Moore! Daniel, Adrienne, and Hayley were already in town for Thanksgiving so they got to be there too.

Jack has been taking a Water Babies class at the fitness center and he just loves every minute of it! We finally took some pictures at the last class on Saturday when Grammy and Grandad were able to come watch. Daddy had to work so it's just Mom swimming!

We are getting so excited for Jack's first Christmas. We've finished shopping for him (although I keep finding more things that he "needs") and I can't wait to see what he thinks about everything. He loves the tree and the lights. In a few days, I'll take him to the mall to meet Santa, hopefully he'll like that too!

Jack has hit a lot of milestones in the last month or so. He is clapping at everything (mainly lights, Baby Einstein videos, and Jake) and he loves to wave bye-bye to everyone. He has let go of the furniture and stood on his own once or twice but it will be awhile before he does any walking.
