Jack 11 months

Goodness me! 11 Months?!? Please say it's not true! Within the past WEEK my boy has grown in LEAPS and BOUNDS and in ways that make it a constant reminder of how independent his is becoming. Jack is CRAWLING! Like hands and knees crawling! He is into EVERYTHING and his favorite past time is teasing and pestering our cat. He is SO much more content now that he can get into things without any help at all. He can also stand up on his own and just about makes my heart leap out of my chest when he stands up in the bath tub.

Jack has quite the personality and finds it supremely humorous to SCREAM with delight all through sacrament meeting. Our neighbors during sacrament meeting make sure to tell us how grateful they are for his delightful entertainment though, and when daddy takes Jack to Priesthood the ladies in Relief Society make sure to tell me how disappointed they are to not have him around. He is good company and I just love being his mommy. Jack is a very good boy, I know I'm his mother and will find no fault in him, but he really is just a happy boy. He loves attention and he gets more than his share from EVERYONE. Jack spends every Friday night with his Gma and Gpa Ewell. They have a fun sleepover and just spoil him with love! They usually take him to Chik-Fil-A on friday night and also take him to breakfast every saturday morning. Talk about spoiled! Chris and I talk about how excited we are to have a night to ourselves and then just an hour into him being gone we end up talking about Jack the whole time and missing him terribly. We are pathetic, haha! But it is nice to have that time to get a few errands done and have an evening out, Thanks mom and dad!

Jack has also started the "clingy" phase, and can go from HOT to COLD within second of me passing him to a stranger. I secretly LOVE it though, I mean who doesn't like being the favorite? :D

Jack has only been finishing 2-3 bottles a day and LOVES solid foods. He will still eat pureed baby food, but he prefers things like chicken nuggets and cut fruit. Since formula is expensive it's nice that he isn't drinking nearly as much, but at the same time it is more proof of how close he is to turning 1 and being done with formula all together! Sigh....

Jack can now:

• Crawl
• Clap his hands
• Point
• Give kisses
• & Say Momma!!

Here are some sweet pictures of our boy who is growing up WAY too fast!

I Love how Jack opens his mouth WAY before he's ready to take a bite. It's so funny!

Jack's cousins at his "1st birthday party" with Gma and Gpa Kenner. They live in Oregon so we had to do a little one just for them. Couldn't let them miss out on this cutie pie!
