All about JACK

Aunt Patty sent us this cute little leisure suit! It gave us all a few laughs. Alrin looked like a little blue marshmellow in it! But it was extra warm and a perfect outfit to take little man to Boulder for the day. We went on a hunt for a quilting fabric shop that my mom spotted in a quilter magazine, they supposedly had really cool vintage reproduction fabrics, but we lucked out- they were closed when we got there. Oh, well…we still had fun in downtown Boulder we ate lunch at the Rio and walked around the outdoor shopping area for a bit.

I picked up this keepsake at Target, thought it would be fun for Chad, my Mom and I to do with Arlin over the holidays. It was a little trickier than I thought it would be. You have to push down so hard on the little guys hands and feet. Chad and I were both afraid we were hurting him- but Arlin didn’t seem to mind at all! Glad we did it to mark his three month progress…We did a foot and a hand, and wrote his name in the clay on the bottom. Now we just need to print a picture for the other dise of the frame.

With grandma visiting we decided we had to do a photo shoot. I am amazed at the size of my bugger…I took these clothes out of his closet this morning and thought I’d see how far out Arlin was from being able to wear them the pants are 6-9 months! They fit! I have to thank my Dad and Shelly for this adorable outfit! The onesie design looks like a tattoo that says “Mom”. After the photo shoot grandma and I took Arlin to Wagon Wheel so I could skate at open skate session and introduce my mom to a few of the derby girls. We stopped off for some mexican food on the way home…I actually drove home in the snow, all by myself! So proud.

Arlin is one lucky little dude…grandma-pamaw custom made a quilt for Christmas. It says Arlin Jack Larsen, October 7th 2007… along with his birth weight 8lbs. 6oz. and his length 20 1/2″. this blanket is awesome…it’s just like one I had when I was a baby.

So, it must be documented. Daddy’s custom made mobile…

Chad went to Target by himself and purchased this mobile , but it just wasn’t custom enough for Master Arlin. So off to another store he went to get three miniature Ugly Dolls. Chad cam e home asking my Mom and I to find a way to replace the puppies that came on the mobile with these Ugly Dolls. With a little creativity we managed to get the Ugly Dolls to hang from the mobile. I thought it was super cool that Chad took the time to make something super custom for his favorite little guy. And I must say, Arlin thinks it’s the coolest!!!
