Silly Sleeper

Lately, Jack has been cracking us up with the way he falls asleep for his naps. Looks like he's ready for a pillow!

He talks and talks in there, and then it looks like he just gives in to sleep!

You can't tell, but on this day, he actually fell asleep sitting up- so cute!

And Snow Days...

After it iced last week, we got about 6 inches of snow. This was our first big snowfall since Jack was born, so we of course had to get outside and let him see it!

Ice Days...

We had ice and snow last week and there was no school for four days! We all enjoyed some extra days at home playing and trying to stay warm. Here's a look at some of our week...

Jack did a little reading...

And hanging around with Daddy.

He got to ride around on the dinosaur.

Rather than play with all the toys he has, he chose to play with the remote control.

We did a lot of exploring, such as looking to see what's under the rug.

Jack was also very interested on what we keep on top of the coffee table. He's been practicing pulling himself up on it!

My water bottle made a fun toy.

After several days in the house, it was time to get out! Jack just needed to make a quick call on his cell phone...

I wonder who he was calling. I'm thinking Makenna! ;)

Birthday Week!

We have had a week of birthdays here at the Ellison household! First was my birthday on Tuesday and then Mark's on Thursday. I took a few pictures of Jack to send to Daddy on his birthday...

This boy looks like he has something up his sleeve...

This is the face I picture him making when he digs into his first piece of birthday cake! (On a side note, he has learned how to pull himself up in his crib!)

Our little party animal!

9 Months Old

I'm a little late, but here are Jack's pictures we took at 9 months old. He's getting to be such a big boy and is cuter by the day!

Playtime with Daddy

Jack had fun playing with Daddy last weekend. Grandma and Grandpa gave him these blocks for Christmas, so we decided to pull them out. Jack has fun knocking the blocks down after someone else builds them up.

Such a happy boy!

Checking out what Dad built...

And getting ready to knock it down!

What To Do?

Jack and I spend a lot of time at the house by ourselves, so I have to get creative when I want to get things, like laundry, done. So what do I do? Put Jack in the laundry basket of course!
