He's soooo hungry!

So, one of the daycare workers had Jack on the changing table for obvious reasons and another lady set some baby food down for a different child, just within Jack's reach.


He has excellent hand-eye coordination.
See the proof below:

Jack, Jack, Jack: Loads of Personality

Jack and Ms. Shannen

Jack is getting to be less of an infant, and more of a toddler-to-be.
To that end, he is moving on up in the insect/daycare world,
and has left the Butterflies class for the Dragonflies class.
He will surely miss Mrs. Jasmina and Ms. Shannen.

Enjoying a bedtime story with Grandpa Hunt...

and peeing (a lot) on Dad's shirt.

Trying to pull up to stand in the bath!
He hasn't accomplished this yet, thank God.

He is very mobile and difficult to catch for scrubbing.

This photo doesn't depict Jack trying to eat Teddy, smack Teddy,
throw Teddy and ride Teddy like the ones we decided not to post...
Ha Ha, not kidding.

Finally, here's a video with Mom as director/narrator
and Jack as usual is the center of attention.
Aunt Emily faithfully feeds the boy,
despite his best efforts to spend dinner time playing.

Fun Times with Mom and Dad!!!

Jack loves to play with his Mom!

Look at the smile on the baby and on the babe!

Blowing strawberries with Dad is so fun!





...and YES, we know he's a little orangish...

Decide For Yourself!

Is Jack (who turns 6 months old on 1/23/08) saying Dada? You decide!

Also, there's more of Jack and other good-lookin' babies at www.estprints.com

Jack is 5 1/2 months old, and this bear is just right.

Not too big, and not too small, enjoy Jack's pics, one and all...

Did you know we had a little girl too?

She's almost three years old, and here are her Christmas pictures...

I couldn't get her to smile-but doesn't she look so sophisticated?
She did become a real dog back in July when Jack was born, but we still love her a little bit.

Sleeping Routines Are VERY IMPORTANT with Babies. Seriously.

Besides having Jack OUT OF HIS ROUTINE every single night during the holidays, they were great. Except for when Jack was crying.

On a lighter note, it was great to see all of our family. We Turners are certainly well blessed all around with loving family members. Enjoy our Holiday Memories...

Where's Jack?

And finally, if you haven't seen this picture yet, Jack's Aunt Emily snapped it, and it is great!

A Baby Boy or a Screech Owl? You decide...

Jack is usually at his best after feedings, and tonight was no different. This 1 1/2 minute video captures Mom and Jack having a little talk on the changing table after his last feeding of the day.

Turn up your volume!

Jack's First Feeding

Jack is now officially 4 months old, and thanks mostly to the diligent efforts of his mother is sleeping from about 8pm to 7am. That's 11 hours folks! Some nights a few minutes more, and some nights a few minutes less, but mostly 11 and what a blessing it is!

We have started adding rice cereal to his formula. The video above captures our effort from the first bite, and the pictures below represent both the first and second night. Enjoy the show.
We did-he really is a blessing to us and every 'first' is just the most amazing thing.
It's great to be Jack's parents, he is wonderful.


The first bite of many to come...

Perseverance is the key. Leslie is ready with the pacifier to pull the old 'bait-and-switch-trick'.

The second night went a little smoother. (Notice his eyes aren't quite as red from crying.)

At least we didn't make a mess, right?

Jack Is Also a Squeak Toy. I swear!

Happy Jack with Auntie Em.
