A Day in the Life of Jack and Will

Jack wants anyone's food that he can get a hold of. Sometimes he has to work really hard for it. Here's him in pursuit of Will's breakfast. Just so you know, I just took him out of his high chair after he finished his own breakfast. So, it's not like he's starving. Enjoy the video.

Screaming Like the Hairdryer

Randy noticed (I didn't because I can't hear) that when I turn on my hair dryer, that Jack imitates the sound of the dryer. He yells and screams. I think he's so excited that he can sound just like it. Now he even anticipates the sound and does it while I'm plugging it in.

Dad and Bob

Jack can now say Da da da da da and Bob bob bob bob bob. He's actually said Ma ma ma ma ma. But normally I'm bob bob bob. He's so cute!

He can wave. I didn't really teach him that (second children just don't get that kind of teaching as much) but he started doing it. He can wave and say bye bye bye bye da da da da da da.

Wipe My Cries Off

When Will gets upset and cries, he asks us to get a kleenex so he can wipe his cries off. He came up with that one on his own. It's really cute when he says it.

Jack's First Steps

Jack took his first official steps on Saturday, May 23. Both Randy and I were there when he did it. We were at my parent's house. They have soft carpet throughout their house. I think that helped. He hasn't done it much since then, but I think he'll keep working at it.

Rashes and Bumps

Yesterday was a terrible day. Jack woke up and had a rash all over his body. Luckily, I was able to get in to see the doctor. Apparently, he's allergic to ammoxicilon. He'd been taking it for a week. He looks so terrible, but he's acting ok. Hope it continues to clear up.

Then, a couple hours after we got home from the doctor, Will was walking around with a pillow case on his head. He tripped on his fire engine toy on the ground and fell head first into his bed frame. It swelled up right away. Luckily the bed was made, so there were blankets cover the metal frame, but he still hit it at full force. There's gonna be a bad bump there for several days, I think. I told Randy that I think he looks like that lady from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. I don't know her name, but she's got the bumps between her eyes. She's a Bajourn? Is that how you spell it?

Randy's taking finals this week, so I had to deal with this all alone. I guess we all just have days like that, though. It makes us appreciate the normal, unexciting days.

So, last night instead of going to the gym (which I should have done) we ordered pizza and had them deliver it. Sometimes food makes things better. I was able to hang out with Randy and have some pizza. I guess my day ended better than it started.

Little Einsteins...shhh

Will can sing the words to Little Einsteins. He's been able to sing a lot of it since he was like 18 months. Anyway, I thought it was funny when he did it the other day, because he even added the "shhh" part that they say when they are behind the curtains. He's so observant (that or he watches too much tv).
