Gigglin Jack

This video was too cute. Ryan was giving Jack a bath and I heard some contagious laughter coming out of the bathroom. Jack and Ryan had been laughing at least a minute prior to me entering the bathroom with the camera. By the end of this video you will be chuckling too. Enjoy.

Larrys Produce

We decided to go to Larry's produce the day of halloween to get some pumpkins for the front of our house. We ended up with 5 since it was only 5 dollars to fill up your wheelbarrow. We could have gotten more, but we figured 5 was enough. Jack had a great time checking out the different kinds of pumpkins and finally getting a wheelbarrow ride from daddy.

So Behind....

The last post was in September, 2 months ago. Sorry to those who have been checking his blog faithfully. Whoa...time sure has flown. Jack is growing by leaps and bounds, and he is just as handsome as ever. He is starting to say more words each day and he is surprising us with how smart he is. He running everywhere and adores Mickey mouse, loves watching airplanes and playing with his cars. He is starting to use a fork and a spoon during mealtimes too. I am adding pictures from the past couple of months to catch you up on the everyday happenings of our guy.

Here is last years picture at silveyville pumpkin patch 2008

Our climber

Jack has now decided that he needs to try to climb up on everything. Here is a short video of one of his climbing adventures.

Chillin on the camp chair

Our neighbor down the street gave Jack this blue chair handed down from her grandkid. He loves sitting in it especially when watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Checking out the weight limit

Just checking to see if the vacuum can hold 23 lbs

apparently it can!

This kid is all boy for sure.

Hanging out with the Uncles!

Jack had a wonderful time getting to know his uncles a little bit better this past month. In fact, he met his Uncle Ebbie and his Uncle Kyle for the first time. It was such a special time for him. He loves his Uncles, and misses them too.

Where did the month go?

I just realized that today was the last day of August. The last posting I made was exactly a month ago. Unbelieveable. I am so far behind especially for my faithful followers. I promise to be more diligent in posting the happenings in the Shaw family. This month was an exceptionally busy one beginning with Jack's 1st birthday with a huge backyard swim party at Grandpa and Grandma's Shaws house, going on vacation to Carmel, and starting up the school year again. In fact, I have already been back to work for three weeks. Our weekends have been packed with activities, and hopefully we will be able to slow down and just enjoy not having anything to do but just hanging out with our precious boy Jack. Enjoy all the pictures from the past month!

I love banging things together!

The beginnings of our very own musician!

No photographs please!
Here is jack clearly enjoying his spaghetti dinner!

I Love Watermelon!

Scientopia

Several weeks ago we took a field trip to a place in Napa called Scientopia. It was a neat little place for kids to learn about how things work, and a great place for little toddlers to play. I caught some pictures of Jack in action.


Okay...how do I get down?

Do you think I can get a set of these for my birthday?

My new place to play

The look he gave me when I asked him what he was doing!

I'm just reading my book mom, what's the big deal?

splash splash baby

Jack loves the water. Everytime he goes in he becomes more brave. This time at his friend's birthday party, he decided to put his face in. Of course mommy was a little startled, but he came up all smiles.

aargh...matey

our little gardener

Jack has this new thing for water. He loves to play in it, drink it and water the plants and the grass. The other day when I was planting, he found the hose and sat there laughing and giggling.

This kid was soaking wet.
