2011 Madronio Christmas

You can't handle the tooth!

1st tooth finally broke through and the winner is upper left.

I'm walking here....

After a day full of walking with family, Jack comes home full of confidence.

Halloween 2011: Rapunzel, Maximus and a Ruffian

I want to ride my bicycle

Jack's first time on a bike. He was going to town on the flower horn like he's playing an instrument.

It's like a WWE Royal Rumble in there... but, happier.

Jack's feeding himself

Crawling skills: Jack edition

Maddie never really crawled like Jack is now.

Jack is now pulling himself up and standing assisted. Pretty soon he'll be walking.

Today's smile

Mom, Dad + kids

Asleep and halfway off her bed

I suspect this isn't unusual for kids...

Finally! we got another smile

the one where they are talking

the one where they are watching tv together

the one where I realize that I now have to be one step ahead of Maddie

Me: clean up your mess
Maddie: I can't hear you

2 month check up

now 10lbs 14oz and 23 inches and has found his hand to gnaw on

Care and Feeding

Maddie versus the bibs

she's test driving her brother's bibs

all of them...

...at once

Maddie powered trike

Jack @ 1m

now 8lbs 15oz (call it 9) and doing fine

the one where i prove once and for all that Jack gets his lips from me and not from mama

and that he really does look like me overall

the one where they're playing together

for now it's a one-sided affair. but at least, she's helping him play with his toys and is sharing hers. and she's permanently moved a step stool beside his pack and play.

We got a smile

Jack got snipped

it's redundant to say he cried like a baby. after all, he is one.
in 3 weeks he has gained 1lb 10oz for a grand total of 7lbs 11oz

and today was his original due date

Catch up scenes from the hospital

Maddie can't help but kiss Jack and join him in his activities
