I see you!

Jack loves his dinosaur play tent! I caught him in action as he played with his What A Burger train set. This was on that cold weekend we had a few weeks ago so he is bundled up in sweats and Cookie Monster socks.

Earlier that day we enjoyed a cart ride around the yard as we hung spider web and ghosts all around the yard for Halloween. I can't wait to take my little Batman around the neighborhood for tricks and treats!

Grandparents Johnson visit

We got a surprise call on Sunday to go meet Grandpaw and Grandmaw Johnson. We met at Downtown Disney and Jack quickly showed off his walking skills. After quickly deciding the dinosaur restaurant was not the best choice due to its lifelike scary dinos, we settled on McDonald's.
After lunch we browsed the shops and Jack received smiles from everyone walking by as they watched him walk. He received a surprise present of a stuffed Woody and Bullseye from the toy store there! He showed off his cuddling skills in his appreciation.


MOM and DAD,
Send me pictures so I can post them!

New Things

Jack got his first pair of sneakers last week. I thought the laceless kind would be easier to slide on and off but now I am not so sure. I think we tried on every pair at Target! Jack loves his new leopard that Grandma Flavin got him when she visited Animal Kingdom.

By the way, both of these pictures coincide with Jack taking his first steps! He really is doing well and looks like a little Frankenstein with how he sticks his arms out in front of him.

Disney 10K

A good time was had by all at the Disney "Race for the Taste" on Sunday. It is a 10K race where at the end you get to visit taste stations of food from around the world. I "made" my friends Brynn and Jonathan and sister Karen do this race with me. We had a great time during the race and got our encouragement from the various DJ's around the course and uplifting environment that is Disney. After we finished eating all the good food we spent the day enjoying the rides and countries in Epcot. Soarin' was an amazing experience and don't even get me started on the burritos in the cantina in Mexico!

Happy Birthday Baby Jack!

The house was bursting at the seams with all the people wanting to celebrate Jack's 1st birthday. We had a hot dog lunch and everyone brought a side dish to add to the feast. Jack had a great time playing with all his new and old friends and he quickly got the hang of opening and playing with his new presents. The cake was a blast to make but we had even more fun watching Jack enjoy his first chocolate and vanilla cupcakes.
