Jack started taking his first steps about a month ago and was just toddling along. It wasn’t until he was in New England with his cousins that he really decided he wanted to take part in playing with them. And so off he went! Continue reading “Jack walking to see Ellie [VIDEO]”
Jack’s first vacation – New England 2016
This summer, we spent a couple of weeks visiting with family in New England. We spent about a week each in Bath, NH and Kingston, MA.
While there, Jack got to meet his second cousins, Addison, Mason and Emmerson as well as other family members.
While there, he perfected walking and finally got the tooth through that had been bugging him for weeks. Continue reading “Jack’s first vacation – New England 2016”
Playing peekaboo under the sheets [VIDEO]
Jack loves to roll around and play in his crib (cot) first thing in the morning so often we’ll play along with him. Recently, Mama decided to throw his blanket over his head which he found hilarious. Continue reading “Playing peekaboo under the sheets [VIDEO]”
Chilling in a beanbag
At church on Sundays we sit in beanbags. Jack decided he needed his own and he looked right at home in it. Continue reading “Chilling in a beanbag”
Jack and his (Ellie’s) love glasses
I don’t recall how Jack came to be wearing Ellie’s “love glasses” but all that matters is that they work for him. He looks insanely adorable, especially when he throws that beautiful smile into the mix. Love this guy so much.

Opening his birthday presents
Jack’s birthday was on a Thursday, so between busy work schedules, swimming lessons and such, there wasn’t really much time for a birthday on his birthday.
So, we celebrated 2 days later on the Saturday instead. He opened his presents and spent the afternoon playing with some friends at the park and the splash pad. He was born on Cinco de Mayo which effectively makes him Mexican, so we (the parents) celebrated by drinking margaritas with some friends after the kids went to sleep. Much deserved!

The thug life
He looks so sweet and innocent most of the time, but after seeing this I’m not sure what will come of him in the future. He looks like he’s robbing a store or bank armed with a screwdriver, though it’s a bit hard to take him seriously with that cute grin. Continue reading “The thug life”
The snuggle king
Unquestionably, my favourite trait about Jack is his desire for lots of snuggles and the big effort he puts in to them. He just mushes into your shoulder and snuggles right up to you, which feels so good for someone whose primary love language is Physical Touch. Continue reading “The snuggle king”
Jack’s 1st birthday [VIDEO]
It has been a whole year now since Jack was born.
366 whole days.
I’m really finding it hard to fathom that. It came so much quicker than it did with Ellie because life has been so much busier with two than it was with one.
Nonetheless, our little man really is becoming a little man now. He’s on the precipice of walking and all of a sudden, he’s changed from a little bundle of body parts to a little boy with human stature. It’s bizarre to witness.
This evening, to celebrate his birthday, we went to Love Food Central in St Pete – one of our favourite local vegan places – to enjoy dinner with some family. The owners were even kind enough to give Jack a piece of peanut butter pie with a candle in it and he boshed the lot of it! Continue reading “Jack’s 1st birthday [VIDEO]”
Silly faces at Starbucks with Mama
The four of us went to Starbucks at the weekend as we occasionally do for a breakfast date. What I didn’t know is that while I was in the bathroom changing Ellie’s diaper, Martina was snapping some ridiculously cute photos with Jack. Continue reading “Silly faces at Starbucks with Mama”
