5 steps closer to walking...

Jack is up to 5 steps! He started with 2 steps at a time and moved up quickly so now he can walk across a room! We counted 5 controlled steps today! We finally got the gate up on the stairs Saturday and it took Jack about 2 minutes before he figured out how to open it. Great. We are so happy for him but it does make us realize that he is growing up fast. A few new things he's eating are: organic blueberry waffles, morningstar veggie chikin nuggets and corn dogs. Things are moving quickly in the Olson household...the stage he is in is nonstop. This is what Jack is up to this summer on a typical day:
7- wake up, eat, go for a run with mommy, play
9-naptime!
11-wake up, eat lunch, play or go to the pool on a nice day
1-naptime!
3ish-wake up, snacktime, play
6ish-dinner, playtime with dad, bathtime
7:30-bedtime!
Erik calls Jack his little "snack pack"
I love my little man...he's growing up way too fast!
Playing at Willow Bend after church.
Uncle Jeremy came to visit...He loves Jack!
about to practice his "back dive"...just kidding...obviously
but he loves being thrown really high in the air and going under water...he knows to close his mouth before he hits the water!
umm...I'm pretty sure chocolate chip cookie dough isn't in my 8.5 month old's list of food options...but what are dads for eh?
eating organic veggie "chikin" nuggets and of course blueberries with his friend Emma!

Yay! Now we can keep up with Olson's too! Jack is precious. Every time I look at your blog, I'll pray that he grows "in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man". Love you guys!
