A Man and his Dog

Jack's latest obsession is walking Bones. BY HIMSELF. He doesn't like it when I try to hold on to the leash at the same time. Usually Bones ends up walking Jack, although she's pretty good about going slow. Jack has scraped up knees as proof of his "must hold on to the leash no matter what" mentality. Click here to watch a video of the two of them.

Another one of his obsessions is music. He has a Fisher Price boom box (I think that's an eighties term...not sure if the kids today even know what a boom box is, what with all their high-falutin mp3 players and cell phones and crack cocaine and all) that he rocks out to, dances, spins around in circles, etc. The other morning he was on the floor listening to his tunes when I picked him up to put him in his chair for breakfast. He FLIPPED OUT. As soon as I put his boom box on his tray, however, life was good again. Here's a video...

"Yeah?"

That's what Jack says every time he puts his shades on (he needs a little assistance putting them on, or a bit of...frustration...sets in).

Cars in the Rain

This blue car (with a touch of pink) is a new toy of Jack's...it was one of those "I want to get Jack a car that I can push so I go to Toys R Us that day and get him the first one I see even if it is pink" purchases.

Here are a couple videos of Jack. Nothing too groundbreaking, just fun to see how "busy" he is these days.

Shoe Fetish

If he's not wearing them or sucking on them, he's putting them away in closets.

What in the world...? Who put this book here?

This is one of Jack's new favorite hand motions. Usually he does it immediately after he throws something on the ground. He's very innocent.

What if I do...this?

This is the look Jack gives me when he tries some new "trick" that he thinks he probably shouldn't do. It's hilarious. He usually accompanies the look with a slight grin. He's really into climbing on anything and walking up and down (and up and down and up and down and up and down) stairs. Another new thing is when I go in to get him in the morning or after a nap, he doesn't want to come out of his crib for quite a while. He likes to walk around in it, throw Bob out, and then point at him on the floor and grunt until I pick Bob up and give him back. He actually had a back-arching fit this morning when I took him out of his crib. F-U-N. For everyone.

Here's a couple videos of some of Jack's latest tricks:
