Jack at 13 Months

Life has gotten extremely busy since I went back to work at the beginning of August.  You can tell by the lack of posts from me during the last month.  Luckily, we have not been too busy to continue to take photos of our little bundle of joy!  I decided to give Jack a little bit of peanut butter last Sunday which proved to be a terrible idea.  He broke out on his face and chest, and his eyes were very red and itchy.  I gave him multiple doses of Benadryl as the day went on, and he was okay.

We found this great shirt at Gap Kids when we were in Gatlinburg this summer, and now Jack is big enough to wear it!  I love how it says, "This is How I Roll."

Jack is resisting eating plain bread now (one of the reasons I slathered it with peanut butter last week), so we tried some grape jelly yesterday morning.  It was a big hit!

Aunt Sara brought Jack this awesome backpack last weekend!  He wore it around like a big boy and looked so grown up.  When it was time to go, we packed all of his toys and other gifts inside. 

Here are Jack and Ashlyn playing with the iconic Cookie Monster toy that is over 30 years old!  The Cookie Monster party was inspired by that special toy.  The last time Ashlyn saw Jack he was just a little baby getting baptized.  Notice Jack got some new shoes!  He actually puts his feet out for us to put them on him.  They are really soft and easy for him to walk in!

I wish I could still spend my days at home with Jack.  It makes things especially hard when the beginning of the school year is so hectic and demanding.  I feel blessed to have the summers with him, and we make the most out of our evenings together!  What a wonderful little boy we have!
