Why I love Erik....

...because he cracks me up!


Erik sent me this picture of himself at work...what a goof...

9 month Update

Wow! I can't believe that Jack has been out of my belly as long as he was inside! It is really crazy! He is getting so big and is developing such a fun personality. Sorry I have been holding off on this post for 2 weeks trying to get some fun pictures up, but figured what they heck no pictures this time.

9 Things I Love About Jack

1) He is always climbing up on me. He likes to grab onto my pants and "walk" with me.
2) He loves to play with hair, especially his Guthrie Aunts. Be Careful when putting him on your shoulders, he might try to ride you like a bucking bronco.
3) He is a "Wiggle Worm." It is hard to get him to sit still in order to change his diaper and clothes.
4) He loves his Daddy. When Erik gets home from work, Jack gets the biggest grin on his face and sprints (in the crawling form) to his Dad.
5) He has the ickiest snotty nose and he likes to wipe it on me.
6) He gets really excited when he sees the vacuum. He loves to watch me vacuum.
7) He loves to be outside with his Daddy. He watches Erik work on the yard or projects and just loves it.
8) He likes to watch Erik use the drill. Doesn't matter what it is he likes to watch (and touch).
9) He is scared of cough/sneeze/clearing throat sounds. I don't know why, but anytime I cough, sneeze, or clear my throat he gets real anxiousm stops what he is doing and comes to me to be comforted (or maybe to comfort me, not sure).
