From Jay and Vanessa: We haven't updated the blog in too long! Jack is 8.5 months now and almost on the move. He's army crawling backward and would rather not be bothered with actually learning to crawl the real way because prefers walking (with our help). He is so strong on his legs but he has absolutely no balance - it is hilarious to watch. He's eating lots of different things now. Usually cereal and applesauce in the mornings, veggies for lunch and yogurt and fruit for dinner plus all of his milk (I think around 20 oz). He is a little piglet! I just weighed him yesterday using our scale and he was about 19.2 lbs. He has his 9 month appointment with Dr. Gosch on 7/30 so he may hit 20 lbs by then.
From Jack: Since the start of summer we've been doing lots of new activities. We have swimming lessons on Mondays at DePaul with Jack Merovitz and Owen McLaughlin and Graham. We have Gymboree with Lauren on Thursdays and then we have a superfun playgroup on Fridays with Graham, Vander, Bryce, Cormac and sometimes Jack and Harper. Dad says I'm overbooked but Mom likes to keep us busy so we don't get bored. We also spend lots of time on the playgrounds throughout the city and we go to the zoo and to the beach. Mom likes to take picnics as a break from her runs so we do that alot too.
We've got lots of videos and pics because we haven't posted in a while so I'll upload some now.
I went to my 2nd Cubs game this past weekend with mom & dad and my awesome babysitters Michele and Jamie. The Cubs won (again) and I practiced my Blue Steel look.
