We made it through Jack's first Santa trip with absolutely no tears :)
Even though I secretly love those pictures of screaming children on Santa's lap...shhhhh don't tell anyone.

Full moon...
After gaining inspiration from Pinterest we decided to stage our own little Christmas photo shoot with Jack. The results are to die for, if I do say so myself :)
We also had lots and lots out out takes that are pretty great as well:
And yes I am aware that he will kill me for these one day but I don't care. Those little bare buns are too cute not to share. And yes we did have a minor pee incident but it was all worth it.
7 months...
At 7 months Jack is:
16 lbs 12 oz
25 and 3/4 inches
wearing size 2 diapers
in size 3-6 clothes
crawling all over
pulling himself up on furniture and standing up in his crib
eats real food twice a day (bananas are a favorite)
teething but still no teeth
absolutely LOVING his dogs!
There was about 5 days in a row where he slept from 8pm-7am straight. Then he learned his new trick of standing up and that all went out the window. He thinks its HILARIOUS that he can pull himself up in his crib and stand and bounce. He does it and just laughs and laughs over the monitor. Its was really cute the first couple times, now I just want sleep!
Naps are still a bit of a struggle and usually only last 30-45 min but I guess we will take what we can get at this point.
Besides the sleep deprivation we could not be more in love with this guy. He has the sweetest disposition and really is so good-natured and happy. He is up for anything and always has a smile for anyone he meets.
Jack's 7 month birthday also marks the one year anniversary of my dad's death. I still think of my Dad on a daily basis and miss him so much but having Jack makes the passage of time that much easier. It's also a wonderful thought knowing that Jack has my Dad as a guardian angel, to watch over and protect him, along the way. Jack will no doubt grow up hearing all about his special "angel grandpa".
The cutest...
There are no words for how adorable this is:
I like to call this his Benjamin Button meets Bagger Vance look.
This was at a very generous dinner that my uncle treated us to, before the Pearl Jam concert. Here is Jack enjoying hanging out with his good buddy, Gus.
Two very handsome boys :)

Grateful...
Cutest lil coug fan...
The week of the Apple Cup I decided Jack should really show his spirit all week long so each day he got a new outfit to sport. He really pulls off the Crimson and Gray quite nicely :)
He even dressed it up for Thanksgiving with a tie
Now I am documenting this for two reasons, one as you can see Jack is smiling in every picture so if he ever grows up and hates the Cougars (God forbid) I can have these to prove there was a time in his life that was not the case. And 2, if he ever grows up and likes the Huskies (God Forbid) I can hold these over his head and use them against him :) That my friends is what you call good parenting :)

November cuteness
These are just some random pictures that were too cute not to document. It also pretty much captures what we do most days.
Crawling around is hard work
You'd think we lived in the arctic with the way I dress him
Jack LOOOOOOOVES the bath and so do we! It has become our go to on the nights when he is fussy and nothing soothes him. The minute he hears the water he instantly calms down. I think we may have the next Michael Phelps on our hands :)
Because I work nights Jim is the one usually putting Jack to sleep and doing our night time routine. Some nights I get texts about how it went. These are two I've received that made me heart happy
Jack really likes Hoppy O'toole
Is that not the best smile you've ever seen?
Harper and Jack love watching cougar football together!
And Reese Loves holding baby Jack whenever she can :)
Boo!
All the toys in the world and his favorite is this water bottle
Hi Bud!
