Extended Family

Jack has had a few more visitors. Uncle Cliff came by on his way to a mission trip with my dad and said hello. He admonished me to "mind the fontanels" when I gave Jack a bath :). Uncle Cliff will become a Grandpa himself this winter.

Jack's great-grandmother, GG, came to meet Jack on her way from Kentucky to Florida. Wow, these two hit it off. They talked and talked and Jack grinned and cooed. What a moment! It blessed me to witness it.


Things are still pretty inconsistent here, but for the most part Jack is a relaxed, good baby. He loves his nightly bath and seems to calm down whenever I put him on his changing table. He loves to ride in the car and has been a good traveler so far as we've ventured out into the world. He has several happy, alert periods each day, and catching one of these is good for the soul. He's a loud kid. He found his voice very, very early and makes a hundred different noises a day - grunting, sighing, cooing, squealing. He seems to have found his ear piercing cry now, too, but luckily he only cries until mama figures out what's the matter.

He's cool. Really cool.
