Has it really been 2 months??

Well I was recently told my my sil Patty that I need to jump back on the blogging band wagon. We have had a pretty good summer but my only excuse is that I have been too lazy to blog about any of it. So everyone take a big deep breath and lets begin...
Just shy of 9 months (so lets see back in the end of June) Jack got his first tooth. He has since acquired 2 more. Those teeth are sure hard work.
When the latest Harry Potter Movie was released Dan and I really wanted to go see it, but what could we do with our little Charlie Brown?? So we got some dinner and headed off to the Drive In.It was pretty fun for the first 30 minutes. The movie started after dark and ended around 1. Never Never again will I go to the Drive In with a baby. BAD IDEA. Jack had a very hard time falling asleep in a nonmoving car and sleeping on the slanted back seat. Dan and I were totally exhausted.Jack has become much more wiggly and has become very creative in his sleeping habits...He is always good for a laugh. Honestly, how can that be comfortable?Only July 27th this little man learned to crawl. And this is what I found him doing in his closet.. Being mobile is AWESOME!! Needless to say the snack bag has become a seal tight tupperware.In August Jack and I made a trip to see RJ, Stacy and Kambree for a few days. We had loads of fun making stinkin cute crafts (ill remember to get some pictures posted of them) and letting Jack and Kambree play. They do very well together. Then Stacy and I headed to Evanston for Patty's baby shower. It was SOOO much fun. Im so excited for Oaklee to come, Patty got way cute stuff. I still can get over the cute car seat cover and Darci's darling burp wrags. Great ideas. Then we headed off to Gram and Papas house and played and played and spent time with Aunt Pam and kids.The kids had fun playing outside.RJ and Kambree on Butter. Some of you might be shocked to know that Jack has not been on a horse yet... *GASP*Jack showing off his chompers.




The Crawling crazy baby. We love him so much.





CLAP CLAP CLAP.
My little buckaroo playing with animals. Its so crazy how fast they grow.


Is there a plubmer in the house?He just learned how to open the cupboard doors. Its an exciting new world. I think he considers this his office.


We crack eachothe up.
Well there have been a new few things in Jacks life that we are trying to catch on video. We will save that for another post. Jack finally got to meet Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kim, it was fun to see them. Jack seriously adores Kim. As for Dan he has been studying for his CPA exams literally all summer. He has passed 2 of the 4, we should hear about test #3 any day now. Dan said it was probably the hardest test, so cross your fingers and pray for us. A little CPA trivia, only 10% of the people the take the CPA test pass all 4 tests the first time. So seriously cross your fingers, and maybe your toes. Test #4 is Oct 22. We really hope to be done with these tests soon. They have been a major pain, but will be so worth it. As for me I have been busy chasing Jack around. He is too much fun. I've also been working on genealogy with newfamilysearch. Its amazing. I finally submitted my first 1o or so names to have ordinances completed, its been a fun adventure. Thanks so much to my mom in law for teaching me so much and helping me get started. Its been a lot of fun to go spend time with grandma and grandpa while mom figures out this genealogy business. Jack is slowly getting better about eating table food, and by slowly I mean SLOWLY (unless its cookies from Aaron, cookies or rootbeer floats from Kara, or raspberry pie and ice cream from grandma..... then suddenly we know just how to eat). He still pukes us food a lot if he doesnt like it. Ive been trying to get him started on cow milk. He thinks im poisoning him or something. Any suggestions?? On another note kind Kara let me bottle (not can because that doesnt make any sense) apple sauce, apple butter (seriously deliciouis) and we did some freezer corn. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for teaching me Kara. Im tired its late, Ill post again when I have remember what else has been happening.

I've heard that if you slowly mix cow milk into his formula, it will wein them off. FOr instance, if he takes a 6 oz bottle, make 4 oz of formula, 2 oz of cow milk, do that for about a week or two or so, then go half and half then 2 oz formula, 4 oz cow milk and finally all cow milk! It seemed to work well for my friend and her daughter... And its good to see an update! You have such a cute family and Jack is getting so big! How do you do apple butter...I think I might want to try that...

Stacy said...

Hey T!
IF you are trying to give Jack milk in a bottle, try a sippy cup that is different from the one he already uses. It worked with Kambree. If he likes a soft spout try a hard one for milk. Any ways can't wait to see you guys this weekend for Jack's party

Ti'ana said...

thanks for the ideas, unfortunatly he doesnt drink formula, and he wont drink milk out of a cup, bottle, hard nipple sippy, soft nipple sippy, water bottle.. he wont drink vanilla pediasure, strawberry, chocolate milk... i guess i can still try soy milk....

Ti'ana said...
