WALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well world, Jack has finally taken more than
two steps without doing a face-plant,

and here's the video evidence:

With any really cool movie,
there are always out-takes that
are pretty funny and here is one of ours...

In this video, you can hear the commentary from the
adults, the yelling from Jack, and the thump when
he hits the floor!

Jack is so funny!

Tonight as I was getting Jack ready for his bath,
I laid him down on the changing table to take his clothes off.
When I laid him down, I noticed he had a big booger in his nose.
Well, being the good Daddy that I am, I picked it for him.
Then I held it up in front of his face so he could see it while I said,
"That's grody Jack!"
and you know what he did?

He opened his mouth as if I were going to feed it to him!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, he's close to walking, but he's still content to cruise and crawl.

Jack's First Birthday Party...the pictures say it all

It is hard to believe our little guy is a year old, but we celebrated in style on Saturday the 26th at Grammy and Grandpa's. It was a great party!

Everyone swam and had a good time in the pool before burgers, cake, and ice cream.

It didn't take long for Jack to dive into his cake.

Dad thought it would be funny to wear Jack's birthday hat...notice the cool t-shirt that he got for Father's Day...

It was a great day and one we will cherish forever. Enjoy the videos we compiled below of Jack's first year. We intended to show these at his party, but we had technical difficulties, so we thought we would share them this way.

Rest at ease with only the Bear Necessities!

A friend told us about this idea and so we've diligently taken
photos of Jack with the same teddy bear every month. It allows
you to see how he's grown over his first year.
Enjoy-we have!

Well folks, here it is...Jack Turner, Year One

Fun Times in June and July

After first sampling a tasty popsicle of Grammy's while in Florida,

we decided to let Jack try some at home...

We knew it wouldn't be long before Jack discovered the doggy door...

Jack had a great time with Grandma Noah

Jack in the Box!

The Florida Trip Video

Here's the compilation video of our Florida adventure. Enjoy!

Jack entertains himself ...

Have you ever been bored in the car? Jack has.

He entertains himself sometimes, thereby entertaining us too.
We were in the drive through at Nana's Frozen Custard in Hixson on
Sunday afternoon waiting for our tasty treats.

The next video is of Jack playing the drums.
Except it's not the drums, it's the bakers rack in the den.
This is from May, and you might turn your volume
down a bit for this one.

The latest videos...

We have a great dog. She really puts up with a lot of being messed with from Jack, as you can see from the video, and she's never chewed any of his toys or clothes! That's major for her...She did pee on our new carpet though, so that's a few demerits, but overall she's still an important part of the family. The next video shows Jack's crawling speed (which is too fast) and the last one shows that he's a gadget man like his Daddy already. Enjoy!
