On the Road Again

Fun with Aunt Joan & Lola

Aunt Joan, Chris, & Jack...& Lola the dog

Mommy & Jack

We took a 2 night road trip to the eastern side of the state to visit Aunt Joan & family...we had lots of fun and Jack was great in the car seat for the long trip.

Jack Loves School

Bellevue Community College Baby Class 2009
We are standing, 3rd from the right. Here are the names: Grayson, Brook, Evan, Nate, Jack, Hannah, Ella (standing); Lucy, Terry, Izzy, Nico, Sarah, Kira (seated)

Tasting the crayon & drawing (aka scribbling)

Jack took over the boat!

Jack helps lead the class in music....he has this shaker at home and we play the game...shake, shake, shake, & we shake and we STOP. He actually gets the stop part.

Jack Does HI, Again

More pictures from HI...Jack smiles after his shoe fell off the 3rd floor balcony....Jack may be a future discus thrower...we'll be able to prove that he got his start with volcanic rocks!

Aloha...and Mahalo for Being Patient

Jack likes to climb now...a new trick...opening the oven door and climbing up to get some Cheerios.....

Jack loved swimming & jumping into the pool...we went to a black sand beach...Jack now loves rocks and wanted to stand beside a big one for a picture. His new love...picking up rocks, collecting rocks, and throwing rocks (we're working on that)...

So you can probably tell...we went to the Big Island again and had such a great vacation. I won't use the word relaxing & toddler in the same sentence but I did come back rested. I figure we'll have easier vacations when Jack is older. I love this stage anyway.

New words: fish, NO, good, hello, plane, bird...but if you ask Jack what something is and he doesn't know....he says...COW! His favorite word is cow and he likes to give hay to the cows when we visit them in the Big Red Barn. By the way, both Chris & I can recite the Big Red Barn book and we can even sing the words by heart!

Jack is getting the other 3 molars...ouch! He will be able to eat his favorite grilled chicken dipped in ketchup easier!
