All about JACK

Pictures from last night…waiting for Papa to get home from work, I let the Captain cruise where ever he wanted to go in the down stairs part of the house. Yes, I followed him around like the Paparazzi to get these pics, man is he quick these days.How cute are his Grandpa pajamas! I saw them on clearance at Walmart of all places (trying to find magnets) I had to buy them even if they were a little white-trash-ish! with racer “Lightening Mc Queen” on them.ha. I think he looks adorable.

We had quite the scare earlier today. After a friend stopped by to pick up a custom onesie, we were playing in the kitchen area. I was cooking Arlin some food at the stove when I just got a funny “Mommy feeling” that something was wrong. Arlin was sitting on his knees in front of the back door watching Otis outside. I walked over and reached in his mouth to scoop out…a
* NAIL.*
Seriously!
I had NO clue how I knew he had this in his mouth. I just did. The Captain didn’t give any signs of weirdness or make any noises-maybe that’s it- he was just too quiet. I couldn’t believe with his little pincher’s he managed to wiggle this nail loose from the door molding. There was another nail sort of sticking out at Arlin’s level that I asked Chad hammer in when he got home from work last night.
It’s that Mommy feeling- you feel blessed to have at times like this- it saved us a trip to the E.R!!! And it’s that Mommy feeling you can never ignore.

Papa was busy watching Sunday football. Stella and Mama were making Christmas cookies. And Arlin was mad nobody was playing with him!

These are pictures of him yelling his new word…

“Ella!”

Captain Jack can’t quite say Stella yet, but he sure has figured out “Ella!”

It was awesome to hear it this past weekend- & I think Stella was super proud he could say her name, after all he only says about four words right now…mama, papa, dog, kitty….and now ella!

Seems like the Captain’s vocabulary has doubled this past week. We’re growing new teeth (molars) saying new words- and climbing all over the house!

My baby’s growing up so fast! I wish there was a slow motion button sometimes. 🙁

These pictures are from this last Wednesday, we joined everyone at the old historic Castle Marne to celebrate Sofia’s 2nd Birthday (Arlin Jack’s youngest cousin). It was interesting and a challenge to get a picture of the kiddies all together…One was always looking away while the other was smiling ready to go.

Chad and I took the Captain over to Harvard Gulch Park Sunday to blow off some energy… hoping it would tucker him out enough to get a good afternoon nap in so Mama could hit the Thanksgiving sale at Macy’s. And sure enough it worked like magic!

Chad and I were laughing, Arlin’s “Silly Bear” Pooh hat looks like a vintage football helmet…(not gonna be picking up the ladies wearing this number!) Arlin fits right in at the park, with NO fear he takes off down any size slide head first on his back or on his tummy. In the picture above, I was afraid to let him go- but he couldn’t be bothered with Mama’s help.

However, being Captain cool on the slides in front of the 14 month old twin girls he still has yet to figure out eating the bark at the park is for babies- Big boys don’t eat bark!

Having a little fun with the Captain last night…

St. Jude stickers galore.

They were stuck all over his little fingers. He stormed around the kitchen for 15 minutes swatting his arms in the air trying to get them all off, then he gave up and plopped down on the floor and tried eating them off, occassionally stuffing his hand in Otis’ mouth for help!

ahaha…being silly with Arlin is fun.

We made it to the park yesterday…It was nice to let Arlin burn some of that energy allowing a peaceful afternoon nap. Boy how Mama loves nap time! It’s when everything magically gets accomplished.
I have to pick up more safety latch locks, before I lose my mind. It’s a constant battle with emptying the contents out of the kitchen island. I’ll be washing the dishes and before you know it Arlin is dragging around a huge fry pan chasing after the dog. He loves to mess with Otis, always stealing his bones!
Papa came home late last night…Arlin was tickled pink to have breakfast with him this morning.

Inspector Inquisitive…

Arlin Jack LOVES the vacuum! Everytime I get it out he has to inspect it up and down. You can hear the wheels turning round and round…like a little mad scientist. It keeps him entertained so I don’t mind. Seems as if everyday household items are far more fun for him to play with than the store bought toys.

Looks like we’re home bound today. Maybe a walk over to the park after our morning nap.

Sorry folks for the delay in posting. Chad loaned our camera to Kozy to photograph all the Denver Roller Doll merchandise for online shopping on the website. But I figured out how to upload pictures from my i-phone! woo hoo…proud of myself- I even did it without Chad.
These pictures are of the Captain at the middle school on Washington St. just round the corner from us, I thought it be cool for Arlin to check the planets out…they’re all about his height, I think he thought the bark and sticks were cooler…all boy!

Had a little photo shoot here…in the backyard before I raked up all the leaves, again. (man, I can’t keep up with them) My guy, he is seriously the coolest cat around. I was feeling down the other day- it’s like Arlin knew I wasn’t myself…he kept giving me hugs and touching my face…melts my heart everyday.

These slippers are hysterical! I love them… Arlin cruises around the house quite well in them too. I snapped these pictures the other night while cooking dinner. I’ve been trying to baby proof certain areas of the house a little more so I can allow little man to get his cruise on, cause he really isn’t having any part of of his playpen lately…haha…Papa calls it the “baby cage”
