The Tree
Jack has not really messed with the Christmas tree since it has gone up. He will feel the texture of the "leaves" but then doesn't try and grab ornaments. He does like the lights though. We did intentionally keep all of the ornaments higher to avoid temptation.We shall see what happens.

Love and Hate
Jack loves the microwave....
Jack hates the microwave....
The microwave takes too long....25 seconds too long I'm sure in his opinion. 25 seconds is how long it takes to warm up the 'ba-ba'.
Alex and I don't even bother saying the word any longer as the Fudge understands what it is. So we spell it out if the Fudge is within hearing distance...."can you get his b-a-b-a?"
But it's no use, as soon as Jack hears the microwave door slam shut, and the farmiliar 'beep-beep-beep' of the microwave buttons it's over. He immediately enters into some kind of histarics - his head flops back in the typical toddler tantrum fashion, his face crinkles up in a cry and his hand goes straight to his mouth. The Fudge acts like he's never been fed before, like we'd be starving him for weeks on end while making him a part of some child labor workforce in Asia.
Even when those torturous 25 seconds are up and Alex or I start walking over to the couch (yes, this is where we feed the Fudge his bottles) he cries even harder. He thinks we're stealing his bottle and walking away with it to have for ourselves.
He eventually makes it over to the couch and we sit him on our lap. He's still crying. Why? Because the bottle has not touched his lips yet. He does not yet understand that the bottle cap must come off the bottle first (1 second) and then we must move the bottle to his mouth (1 more arduous, grueling, painful, suffering miserable second).
Jack is patient with all other things in life, but man.....the food never comes fast enough! Jeesh!

Jack Feeds Himself
Jack is becoming more and more autonomous every day. His new thing is he wants to try and feed himself. So, this past Friday night, we let him try. It was messy and he got more on him than in his mouth, but he did very well for a first try! Looks like we need to double the supply of bath soap!
Fear
Taylor brought home a toy rat with light up eyes to scare me (it worked). Too bad it freaked out Jack as well!

Blocked!
Sorry for the delay in updates, but Blogger has now been added to the websites blocked at my office. I can no longer update during my lunch break. Stupid, I know, but what can I do. So, enjoy the updates for the past week!

Jack's Glass Faces
Jack recently discovered how to make faces on glass. Check it out. I almost couldn't contain my laughter. Jack has developed such a personality. It is very cool to watch him act and interact.

Formal Photos
Jack's daycare had a professional photographer come in to take portraits and class photos. Below are the results of Jack's attempt. I am not sure if the worried expression is because Mom and Dad were not there or if he was just being Jack. But, we are definitely buying some copies as these scans don't show the colors of the originals.

Daylight Suffering Time
Jack has gotten up at 4:30 in the morning the past two days. No, he isn't sick. It is because of Daylight Savings Time.The kid's internal clock won't reset. DST never really bothered me before he was born. I found it stupid, but lived with it. Now, it is a Pet Peeve.
I cannot wait for him to adjust to the time change. It probably will only be an issue for the next year or so and then he should be used to it. Until then, expect yawns.

GAP Casting Call
We entered Jack in the 2007 Gap Casting Call for the chance to be one of their models! I know, I know. We aren't going to be those parents that go all JonBenet on their kids, but I thought this would be a fun thing to do. We think Jack is supercute, lets see if America does! Visit the link below on November 20th to see if Jack made the Top 20!
