five

...

So, the other night, Jack and I were having a playful evening rolling and giggling around the house. I took our playfulness to a higher level and Jack found himself on my shoulders gallivanting around the house. I suddenly felt that egg cracking on the head sensation and galloped straight to a mirror where I found Jack with the HUGEST smile peeking out from over my head.

Oh, and a oozing puddle of spit up.

.....

Disgusting? To say the least.

Utterly captivated by him still? Absolutely.

...

Spit up and all, this kid is dreamy.

...

...

And he's 5 months old today.

Has it possibly been 5 months, already? Really? 5?

......H

How glad am I that it is not last month at this time? Remember that little surgery that marked Jack's four month birthday?

Well, Jack's fourth month lent itself to nothing but speedy healing, lots of smiles, lots of growth, and lots of relief! This sweet boy laughs and smiles and is so content with life.

I'd say that about 92% of the time, he finds me hilarious.

The other 8% might already be embarrassed of me. Whatever.

.....

.....

These cheeks are more than I can bare.

.....

We spent Jack's monthly birthday today visiting the park with Annie and her boys.

....

The weather was lovely. Love it.

.....

.. Hank and Max ripping it up on the slide.

Heavenly Jack

These 2 are destined to be best friends.

Annie watched Jack while I scoped out the playground for future obstacle courses.

(for Annie and I, of course)

....

I could hardly contain Jack's excitement with this slide.

The carnage from rolling down the hill. I think Annie is in a neck brace now. I, for one, had perfect form.

I'm sure my rolling down the hill was not one of those times Jack was embarrassed of me.

....

Thanks Griffins for a usual great time!

I particularly enjoyed explaining to Hank why he could pee outside and why his mom and I would be arrested if we did.

Can I just say how much I LOVE living by my sisters and their kids?

Nothing better.
