We got a new umbrella stroller and I love it. We took it for a test spin last night during a break from the rain, and JT seemed to like it too. Here he is testing it out. Notice he is wearing his serious face. 🙂 JT and Jim went to Cabela’s this week withContinue reading “Rollin’ in the Volo and Man Day”

JT is eight months old! This week we got to visit Grandma Keene at her office. All the ladies were excited to see JT, and he even got a free toothbrush (notice how much he loves it already). This week we got to take the boat out a couple of times. It was so sunnyContinue reading “Eight Months Old”

I like to call this picture “Who, me?” 🙂 On to our list… New Thing #1: Waving bye-bye (not consistently, but sooo cute) New Thing #2: Eating avocado or banana all by himself New Thing #3: Moving around the room on his tummy New Thing #4: Sleeping in any position New Thing #5: Kicking, touchingContinue reading “5 New Things”

JT just loves getting his tooth brushed. He opens wide when he sees the little finger brush coming. It’s nice not to have to battle that twice a day. We’ll see how compliant he is when he’s five and it’s more like a chore. Here’s a Flip Clip of brushing in action: This week JTContinue reading “Mmmmm, toothbrush!”

If you’ve ever been the only adult with your child in a store, you know what these things are. It’s a chair you’re supposed to put your child in while you use the bathroom, so they don’t sit on the floor. How is this seat cleaner than the floor, exactly? Does it get sterilized whenContinue reading “Sunny Days”

Turning seven months old this week brought with it a few changes for JT. First of all, he got his first tooth! There is a bit of white glistening through in his lower middle gumline. He plays with it with his tongue and obviously knows something is there. His snotty nose hasn’t been for nothing!Continue reading “7 months old”

Post #3 this week… it’s been busy! It is so fun to watch JT learn and grow. Now when I make the sign for water, he looks at his sippy cup and reaches for it. He has recently decided that previously frozen banana is icky, while fresh pureed banana is fabulous. Tough cookies, JT. MommyContinue reading “Post #3”

JT’s Great Grandma Keene passed away this week. She was 85 years old. We are so thankful that we got to spend Thanksgiving with her this year, and introduce JT to her. I’m glad that we will always have pictures and video to show JT when he gets older. We will miss her emails, cards,Continue reading “In Memory”

Last Wednesday was so sunny and warm! What a nice change. JT, Slider, and I went on a walk and spontaneously decided to stop at our neighborhood park. There are two play structures, and one is for littler kids. Turns out, JT loves the slide! It was so much fun. He even started anticipating goingContinue reading “An Afternoon at the Park”
