The Energizer Jackson

I knew that once Jack started crawling my days of rest would be over! Hahahah. He's all over the place and into EVERYTHING! Nothing is safe. I think he started pulling himself up on things pretty much right after the crawling began. He does this really goofy crawl thing where he throws his tushie up in the air and gets on the flat of his feet. It's hilarious. We now call him Mogley, from the jungle book. I'm not sure if his little knees get sore or if he's getting close to walking. Only time will tell.






Tom actually got to come home to Pottsville this past weekend. It was so great having him here. We get to see him every other weekend but it's a little nicer being here than in his army lodging, especially if it's a rainy day. That room is only so big. So we crammed all we could into his 36 hours of being home. We made our first trip to Heisler's Dairy Bar. For those of you not from around these parts it's the best place to spend a summer night. There's great food, even better ice cream and they have mini golf and a driving range. We went there with Tom's parents. It was a lot of fun. Jack went on his first little machine ride. There was a Dino and a helicopter.
I'm sure people were looking at us like we were crazy putting an 8 month old on one of those things but he loved it. Tom, his dad and myself drove golf balls. That was very entertaining. I feared for my life with Tom's dad hitting his golf ball off the way too small divider between us and Tom found his future retirement hobby. It was a great day weather wise to hang outside.

Jack really loves being outside.

He's just like Sadie, he finds all the sticks and the rocks in the yard. Who needs toys?? Oh my goodness....I almost forgot. Jack got his first tooth this week! YEAH for chompers!!! It's the cutest little weapon ever. He had a few days where he was kind of out of it and was taking 3 hour naps then one day when he hardly slept at all and wwhhhaaalaaaaa.....a tooth. Poor kiddo. Now he's always trying to figure out what it is with his fingers and tongue. It's so funny to watch. I'm also learning that turning my back for a single second is no longer an option. While Tom was home on Saturday we were all sitting in my parent's basement and all of a sudden there goes Jack...UP THE STAIRS. OMG! Who taught him this?? He was all the way up on the first step ready to tackle the second one. What a little monster. Like I said he's everywhere. And with all that crawling comes some much needed sleep!

Everything's going pretty well here. We're headed to Va this weekend. We're hoping the weather will cooperate and we can get to see a baseball game in Richmond. I love going to farm team games, they're so much fun! Hopefully the rain will stay away!

Miss you all!
