cute pics!!!

I just couldn't resist not putting these cute pics of Jack on here for all to adore. He is just so darn cute sometimes.....enjoy!

Day Tripping!

Hi everyone - summer seems like its finally here - except for the freak snow storm we had last week. Jack will be 6 months old in a week. Were did the time go. He is getting so big and smiles all the time. Everyone comments on what a smily baby he is. We've done a few day trips the past couple weekends. We went to Troll Falls in Kananaskis one night. It was suppose to be a short hike (which turned into a 2 hour hike since we took the wrong trail and kinda got lost!!!) This was our first hike with Jack - we wanted to test out our MEC backpack. He seems to like it. He is perfectly happy just sitting in it and hanging out.

We went to Drumheller during the May Long Weekend. Did the whole museum thing and a drive out to the badlands looking for fossils. I think the adults had more fun than the babies.

And then Saturday we did a hike near Canmore - Grotto Canyon, I think it was called. Just another short one with Jack. Seems Jack likes the outdoors and has seen 2 waterfalls before he is 6 months old.

He is sitting up by himself but tumbles over and bonks his head on the carpet which he doesn't like. So we will just have to sit with him until he is a bit stronger. And he loves his Bumbo chair that I got for Mother's day from grandma and auntie lisa.

Oh ya, we also went to the Calgary Zoo and saw hippos, giraffes, gorillas, etc. he was much more interested in his toys than the animals but I had fun.

We are going to RD this weekend - hopefully some of his cousins from Edmonton will come up and play with him.....

Jack's First Haircut!

BEFORE

AFTER

Well on Sunday, we decided that Jack had some wild long strands of hair that needed to be cut - so we got out the sissors and cut Jack's hair - okay - its not a huge haircut - but I think it even makes a difference. What a big boy Jack getting to be.

Hanging out!

Here's babe (one of my many nicknames for Jack - others are "bear" "baba" "booboo bear") hanging out in his diaper and bib (we go no where without a bid - he is the drooler king)!! He was just hanging out before bed.

Well, we are loving that it is springtime now and the sun is shining. We love our flip flops and sunglasses and shorts!! Jack and I go for a walk almost everyday. Luckily the grocery store is not too far - so we walk there once a week and pick up groceries and we have a park near by - Jack loves to go in the swing. He just laughs when I push him.

Other than that we haven't been too busy. I got called as Young Women's First Counsellor so I'll be busy with activities on Wed. nights. However we only have 2 girls right now so I hear its pretty laid back. And I've been busy planning our trip to Vancouver Island for the Murphy reunion. I've been busy just trying to figure out where we are going to stay - hotel, tent (I don't think tenting for 5 days with Jack sounds fun to me) - we finally decided on renting a trailer - I can't wait to go there. There is so much to do - Kayaking, canoeing, beach, hiking, Tofino - surfing, etc. Should be fun!

Jack will be 5 months in 2 more days. He is so wanting to eat adult food. He just watches me and reaches out for whatever I have. He loves drinking from my waterbottle and can even sip from his sippy cup....He will really love food - but not until he's 6 months.

PLAYTIME!!
