camping!

This weekend we went to the Tieton for our first camping trip! We had beautiful indian summer weather and had a fantastic time. Can't wait to do it more next summer!

rolling

Jack has been trying so, so hard to get from his back to tummy. But his left arm would always get in the way. That is until this afternoon! After a few good goes he finally made it all of the way over. I don't know who was more excited, him or me! I found myself cheering him on and then squealing when he succeeded. And then I promptly ran outside to share the news with Mike. Oh, what is it going to be like when he crawls, walks, talks?! And all of this was right after we got home from getting his tongue clipped...for a THIRD TIME! But that's another story.

Here's a video of his SECOND roll!

beautiful weekend

This weekend we headed to Jenne Farm on Whidbey Island to celebrate the amazing wedding of our friends Gingi and Pere. It was a weekend filled with sun, friends, laughter, delicious food and wine, beauty... and love.

a day at discovery

Today our friend Jenny got all 3 of us outside and to Discovery Park for a lovely picnic.

3 months

Yeah. I'm 3, count 'em 3 months.

Yep, Jack is 3 months today. He is still a doll despite going through quite a growth spurt the past week. This means that his good sleep has regressed a bit. But is forgivable because of the visible jumps he is making with his development. I sometimes wish that I could help him turn off his brain for a few hours just to let him settle into a long, deep, uninterrupted sleep.
As for that development, he appears even more alert and aware then ever before. He has started to show us his laugh! And we both swear he said 'mama' this morning. Mike even heard it from the other room!
But I should run because Jack is actually sleeping at this moment and I should get to bed because it will only be a matter of time before the tossing and turning and consoling will begin. But it's worth every sleepless moment.
