JTO- Hangin' Tough

A lot of you have been asking for an update on Jack and in a nutshell he is doing awesome even with his broken arm. He gets a little frustrated that he can't grab things like he once could but 2 days after breaking his arm he was already trying to crawl in his cast!!! He is so tough. After he broke his arm he stopped crying after 2 minutes and was trying to dive out of my arms to start playing again and I knew his arm was broken...crazy boy! Jack has heavily favored his left hand since he was born (picked up a toy with his left, sucked his left thumb, grabbed for things with his left, etc) and now it will be a miracle if this boy turns out right-handed considering his left hand is the only one in full use this month. He is not very interested in crawling anymore because he gets frustrated with his cast (understandable) so he is pretty much walking in his walker or walking holding my hand to wherever he wants to go. Dr. C (the sports medicine doc) says he may just skip crawling all together so we should be prepared and get baby-proofed.

One exciting thing is he started giving kisses to Erik and I (and apparently our 7 month old neighbor Ella). Jack has never been a cuddler, he doesn't want to be held, and he has never let me rock him or anything...he is such a boy...BUT he will give mommy kisses so I'll gladly settle for that.

The only other new thing I can think of is that he LOVES grilled chicken (in very small peices of course).

Here are a few picture updates!

this is where Jack (Houdini) somehow managed to maneuver himself 6 whole inches to the ground with enough force to break his arm....
going to our neighbor, Emmerson's, birthday party in style....diaper bag, birthday present, and 7 month old with a broken arm in tow Jack LOVES that shirts are a bit of a challenge these days!
We met Erik for lunch at Willow Bend and Jack was SOOO excited to see him!
