Happy First Birthday Jack!



Today is Jack's first birthday!!!!



I cannot believe our little JackAttack is already a year old. It seems like yesterday that we were in the NICU watching him hooked up to all those machines! How far he has come in twelve months!





Here are some updates on what Jack, the one-year-old, can do:

  • He is about 20 pounds, we think (we haven't scheduled his doctor's appt yet). He is still wearing some of his 6 mo. clothes, but also wears some 12 month (Baby clothes sizes are all over the place!).
  • He has two adorable little bottom teeth!
  • He can stand up against furniture really well. He pulls himself up from the floor and can stand for a long time, just looking around.
  • He can "cruise" along furniture just a little bit.
  • He still does the "army crawl." I'm pretty sure he's never going to do the "normal" crawl, he'll just skip to walking.

  • He can use a cup without a sippy lid to limited success. More than half the water makes it into his mouth! With the sippy lid, he has perfected it!
  • He loves bath time, any toy with wheels, and playing peek-a-boo. His giggle is the best sound in the world.
Happy Birthday, Jack, we love you so much!
