Monkey See, Monkey do!

Dan and I are finishing up breakfast this morning, and a birthday card for my dad is sitting on our kitchen table. It is a picture of a baby picking his nose- the saying on the card "You had a birthday... (open to the inside) gotta boogie!" ha, ha.

Jack is standing on the chair, looking at the card and very thoughtfully puts his finger up his nostril. AWESOME!

Well, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, I have just been busy. I am amazed at how little time I have to just sit and blog, check email, facebook, etc. now that I am home full time. It's also amazing at how I very easily forget to take pictures now that I am with Jack all day. I do love my time at home with him, it's just not a walk in the park all the time. I'm sure you all are thinking "I could have told you that!"

A couple of pictures I actually remembered to take...
I had to change the batteries in his riding toy- Jack doing a little fix-up afterward.

We went down to the Chicago temple on Dan's day off. My parents went early, we met them later and did a little hand-off with Jack, and then met up at the outlets for lunch. My parents shopped with Jack for a good hour (and I forgot the stroller for them.) They are good people.

Homemade pizza for dinner, Friends were coming over and we seem to let a lot slide when we are tight for time. Jack "helping" with the dough. (I was done with the dough, he just was helping roll out the table.)



After buying a kitchen at my favorite bi-annual rummage sale, I found this one (the one I actually wanted) at a neighbor's garage sale for $5. I hid the other one for Christmas, but I couldn't quite hide this one. What are we going to do with 2 kitchens???


Jack talks A LOT! One of my favorite things he just started doing (who knows where he learned it) is rolling around on our bed, pulling up the covers and saying "ni, ni." It is very cute. Now at night we just ask him "do you want to go ni, ni." and he goes to his crib and says "ni, ni." We've got it good!
Not to forget the first Packer Game. Dan and Jack enjoying some snacks (ignore the mess.) Jack was very cute decked out in his Packer sweat suit from Grandma Diane, but none of our pictures of him turned out very well.


Jack surprised us with "circle" yesterday afternoon. That again, WE DIDN'T TEACH HIM! It must be his school experience sticking with him! Of course in the video he calls everything a circle, but he knows which one really is (and we let the oval be a circle for now.)


What else are we doing with our days together- running errands, playdates with friends, walks to the park, STILL sorting through the remainder of my classroom things. PLENTY to keep us busy!
