Week 14 Update

Jack had a busy last week home with me before I returned to work last week, capped off with his first few days at daycare...

Well, it's a first. We managed to take no pictures or video of Jack in his 22nd week, the week of October 22-28. However, he did do a few things of note, so I'll write a little something about them.

Yesterday we took Jack to the Goodnight/Balgopal home for his buddy Karthik's first birthday. My, how time flies. Happy birthday Karthik! Anita put together a lovely afternoon feast that included my favorite, samosas, and not just one, but two kinds of potatoes. Yum! And there were two cakes, too. Anita and Chris put their dual skills to work and made a lovely little train out of cake that rode on licorice rails. That Karthik is one lucky little boy. It was a fun time and we got to watch all of the babies crawl around the floor and play with Karthik's toys.

We're a bit behind in posting this...at least we got it up before July!

Jack's first birthday party was on Sunday, June 1 at 2 pm. John designed the invitations, and he made Jack a fancy t-shirt with a "1" on it to wear. John's parents, my mom and step-dad, my dad, and the Tomlinsons, Falconers, Goodnights, and the Gilchrists joined us for a beautiful afternoon of grilling out, playing with the kids, and celebrating.

I was off on the friday before Labor day, so I ran some errands and then picked up Jack early from daycare. It was a beautiful warm afternoon, so I thought the plants could use a water. Jack kept sidling into the spray from the hose, so I decided to set up the sprinkler for him. He loved it, and and kept backing into it, which cracked me up. Too bad I didn't put his little Crocs on him first-it took a couple of days for his shoes to dry out! Oops, new mom mistakes.
