8 months already!!

...and the little man started crawling last week! It is amazing how quickly they learn and pick up things once they try it and actually get it...without falling! We have had a few wipeouts, like this morning when Jack was crawling in our room. He crawled to the ottoman, got on his knees and pulled himself up for a brief second and boom went down just missing Buddy's tail. Which brings me to our next topic of cheap entertainment. Jack just loves watching and chasing the dogs in his walker. The dogs have figured out ways to hide (Nelly now sleeps in our closet) or bark their way around Jack. Buddy will bark when he's been cornered. The bark leads to a cry and quick reverse. The little guy has some incredible maneuverability skills!
With Jack being so active, he hasn't seemed to have gained too much weight but has definitely gotten taller. He eats like a champ. He will eat just about anything you put in front of him especially my mango, banana & peach mix with oatmeal! I think he eats better than Gregg and I. We are working on getting more greens into that little mouth but needless to say broccoli needs some camouflaging with sweet potatoes and carrots!
As far as Gregg and I, we are good. I started back to school almost 3 weeks ago. We had our 10th day of school today. I'm pretty pooped but have been still trying to get my runs and yoga in for some sanity. Overall, I think I have a pretty good group of kiddos. You will have to check out my classroom blog to see what we have been up to (it is mrsfarmery'sclass@blogspot). Gregg is in limbo as far as jobs. He finished at Wacker last Friday and has a few prospects in the works. For now he is enjoying his time off - golfing and doing some lovely yard work:) Oh and cooking dinner the past 2 nights - it is so nice to have dinner ready when you get home! He's quite the cook.
Ok, I think I have rambled enough. Hopefully I can get a video of Jack crawling and post it soon. Thanks again to all of you that follow our blog - it makes it worth doing...besides the fact that I enjoy reminishing too! Until next time.
