12 months

More Playdates!! 
Jack had his friends James and Aubrey Kate over to play one night.  They are all so cute together.

Aubrey Kate trying to decide which toys to choose from

Jack can't decide which toys to play with because he wants to play with the toys his friends are playing with

Jack and Aubrey Kate always play with this together when she comes over

She could stand on her own!

"Hello friend"

Father and Son

Crawling time, everyone grab a toy and crawl

Crazy eyes!

Jack and his high chair.  For some reason, we have tons of pictures of Jack eating.  I guess it's because all we do is watch him eat and he is usually so cute no matter what he does so I guess we feel like we need to take a lot of pictures.  Here are a few of Jack during his 12th month.  He still has his orange nose which he has had his whole life...but I dont' know why.  He doesn't eat much orange food, so that can't be the reason.

Bear Outtakes
We haven't let Jack play with his bear, so the only time he has really seen it is for 10 minutes while we take his picture once a month.

This was the first time Jack  REALLY noticed his bear.

Random pictures:

Sleepy baby

I actually think it was because the sun was so bright

This was the first time Jack crawled on our new patio.  I was hoping that the roughness would make him want to get up and walk, but no.  I guess it doesn't bother him.

He knows where his swing is!

Easter

Ben had off the Friday before Easter so we decided to take Jack to the Zoo as a family.  This was the first time Ben got to go with us to the Zoo.

Saturday morning, the day before Easter we went to my mom's church for a pancake breakfast and Easter Egg Hunt.  Jack loved the pancakes and sausage!!

 

Got his bunny bib on!

 

Ready to hunt eggs

 

Jack picked out his own easter basket.  We were at Hobby Lobby and Ben held up a football basket and this frog basket and said "Jack, which one do you want?" and Jack grabbed the frog basket.

 

First time to hunt eggs, and first time to really "crawl" on the grass.

 

He was not a fan of the grass!

 

He tried so hard to sit any way he could think of so he wouldn't have to touch the grass with his legs.

 

Notice this funny position...and putting the egg in the basket

Standing like a big boy

 

Jack and Mimi

 

Jack's friend Blake got to hunt eggs too.

 

We don't know these other girls

 

Loves to slide 

Easter Morning!

The Easter Bunny brought Jack this swing.  He loves to swing.

 

Was not happy that we put him on the grass...probably didn't help that he didn't have a good nap at church and was hungry.

 

Once he got used to the grass, he was much better

 

Exploring his eggs

 

"Where's the candy?"

 

"This will do"

 

Big yawn
