what timing..

Just after I posted my last entry, Mommy just got an email that Dr. Seuss has allowed Dartmouth to license his work for their use (apparently they are the first college to get approved)...

I think this and this are my favorites:)

How Much

did you say you had to study to get in? I didn't know mommy and daddy were such nerds in high school. I am not quite sure I want to go that route yet, but I do like my outfit (one of many, mommy tells me, that say "Dartmouth" on it somewhere).

What a nice baby I see!

Off to work?! Already?!

Mommy told me she quit her job, but strangely I found myself in her old office for 5 hours on Monday and on Tuesday. Apparently she is very nice and agreed to help out her old coworkers on a major project with a tight deadline! Luckily for me there a ton of super-friendly people there that were beyond thrilled to see me. They were impressed at how well-behaved I was. I pretty much slept and smiled except when mommy hadn't fed me in awhile when I needed to whimper a bit.

They put out the welcome mat for us...(This is a small flat panel in the waiting area with scrolling slides that welcomes guests to the IHI and NICHQ office).

Stressful

Being a baby is so challenging - mom and dad sometimes don't know what I want and need. At times it is enough to make me try to pull my hair out. I know they try hard, so I forgive them.

Bad Ass Jack

He is telling you what to do and can't even be bothered to open his eyes to express it!





In addition to being adorable, the pants are in honor of his first visit from his uncle Teddy, who just got back from officer training in Ft. Lewis.

Happy Baby!

This picture is indicative of the past week or so. Jack has started smiling a lot and also having "cooing conversations" with us. It has been a delight!
