Weird Kid

Today Jack asked to where a bib in the middle of the afternoon for no apparent reason - weird thing number one.

A little while later I gave him a few blueberries in a small black cup. He proceeded to open a low drawer and put all the berries in a small colander. He then ate from the colander directly while standing up in the middle of our kitchen.

I wonder what goes on in his head sometimes (ok, a lot!).

A few Sanibel Pictures

We were in FL for a week (and a day) recently - we had a lovely time and got to visit with lots of relatives including Grandma Anne, great-grandparents (Anne's parents)), Uncle Andy/Aunt Katie and not-quite-a-relative-but-almost Ann (Anne's dear friend).

I managed to download pics from one camera onto an old computer (since mine is still full). The rest will have to wait as it would take forever to download the pictures from my good camera with old USB.

Jack LOVED playing in the sand - I can't wait to get our sandbox going in the backyard. He liked the pool after a bit of acclimation.






We also went to a spring training game. He made it on our laps until the bottom of the 4th despite the fact that he signed to us at the top of the first "all done, down." eek!

The nice vendors at the speed pitch lane let him throw the ball a whole bunch into the back. Jack got a HUGE kick out of this and cried when we made him stop. His (left-handed) pitches didn't clock on the radar...

Way way behind..

sorry folks, still haven't gotten around to getting my new hard drive in. I have a bunch of pics from our recent Florida trip still on cameras!

Maybe tomorrow, if Jack is feeling better (he has a bit of a stomach bug - nothing too serious, but he is pretty clingy), I can sacrifice Steve for a few hours to get things back ship-shape.

Zoo!

Still catching up -

Jack and I, one especially nice day earlier this month, took a trip to our local zoo. He enjoyed the bears - especially since he was out of the stroller for that part. They were pretty energetic, playing and wrestling.

I had much better photos on my real camera - but we still haven't gotten my hard drive in, so no room to download them yet.

Some "light" reading at lunch..

They say kids mimic you, well Jack has taken to stealing my Economist at lunchtime. Somehow he manages to find firetrucks and airplanes in it!

Birthday!

A few weeks ago we went to CT to celebrate Grandpa Bills 60th birthday! A lot of fun was had by all and Jack very much enjoyed the abundance of sweets.


He was missing naptime (whatever that is) at this point:)


Jack LOVES baloons. Trips to trader joe's (where they have free ones for kids) are a big hit too..

Catching up- Trains!

A few weekends ago we met up with Grandpa Pete and Great Uncle Matt at the Amherst Railroad Society train show at the "Big E" in Springfield. Jack very much enjoyed looking at the trains and really liked if Thomas was involved:)
