Sad news and some firsts
The sad news-- Jack's Grandma Doris died a few weeks ago. She had a very happy time here in Oregon, and Jack loved to crawl into her room. The last thing she did was wave to him! We'll all miss her--there aren't enough words to express how much.
But we've had more firsts! Jack is getting 3 teeth on the top in addition to the 3 teeth on the bottom he already has. So far the 2 pointy eye teeth are the most visible. If they come out just a little more, he's going to make a great vampire for Halloween!
And another first--the zoo! We've been twice now, and we liked it so much we bought a membership. Jack loves anything in the water--fish, turtles, the sea lion. And he is terrified of birds and bats! It doesn't matter if they are flying freely past us (we walked through the lorikeet cage) or behind glass (the little parakeets and bats). The poor little guy would shake and reach for us out of his stroller. On the other hand, show him a sea lion swimming by, and he laughs and laughs! What will he think of penguins--birds that swim? We'll have to see what he thinks next time. Oh, and what did he like looking at the most? Pretty little toddler girls!
Another first- his first Yankee game! We drove to Seattle friday after work, and Jack was really good on the 3 hour trip. I stayed in the back seat with him, to hand him toys, but he mostly entertained himself. We went to the game Saturday night and Jack had a great time! He sat on our laps for the first hour, and then we walked around in his stroller. He was happy the whole time! After the game on Sunday, as a matter of fact, he waved at everyone as we walked out. Sadly the Yankees only won one game out of the 3 games they played agaist the Mariners, but out of respect for his Dad's feelings, we won't dwell on that......
And Jack had a check up today--he weighs 27 pounds, and he's 30.5 inches, and 11 months old. Officially more than half my height! And the doctor said if his eyes haven't turned brown by now, they're not going to. So Jack is a blue eyed boy, just like his Dad. (His birthmom's eyes were hazel, so I was sure his eyes would be some shade of brown--like mine!)
Now to search for some pictures to post.....
