This is a picture of Big Boy Baby Baker who is now 5 months old. He sleeps most of the night unless his mom is topping him off--he likes to eat. He is eating baby food and likes most foods except peas--really, who could eat of that stuff anyway without a little salt. His favorite thing to do is lay in Jack's bed when Jennifer reads books. He is also big on smiling, like to ride the BOB, play with Aunt Anne and ride in Papa's pedicab.

His big accomplishment to date was last night in the bath when he discovered his pee pee--he doesn't get a lot of time with it cause there is always the diaper. Mimi says he was looking for his feet--yeah right! This morning Jennifer walked in on him admiring himself in his crib mirror. Gotcha she said and startled him--then he went back to admiring himself.

This is one strong kid. You can hold him in a squat position and he'll extend his legs nearly jumping out of your arms and does this five or ten times. He'll be walk-in and talk-in before we know it.

Movie Star Jack...

Papa agrees this is a good looking kid but SHE needs a haircut. Now that Papa is back from a two week bicycle trip the boy is going to get a haircut. It will probably take Mimi and Jennifer a couple hours to explain how they want it cut to Papa who will do what he always does...ignore everyone. After all, if they wanted it cut a certain way there was plenty of time while he was out of town.

Projects..

Jack is a busy boy who always has projects. This picture was taken when he decided it was a good idea to bring the swimming pool inside the house. Why not, after all it's so much fun outside? He managed to get it half way up the steps before his mom got involved. That's the problem when your 2 and 3/4; moms prefer not having their house totally trashed.

The other morning Jennifer told Jack Mimi was taking him to the beach. Jack did what he always does which is to gather up stuff for the trip. In this case his little pink shovel and big blue shovel. Then for the next hour he wandered around and asked 283 times when Mimi was coming to pick him up. We have a new rule around here: do not tell Jack the plan till your ready to execute that plan.

We're making progress on the potty training front but it's a slow go mainly because of all the places and people involved. Jack does know what to do but can't always fine the time for this project with all his other projects.

Knock on wood, everyone has had a healthy summer so far. No colds for the boys and Papa has yet to be run over on his bicycle.
