8 months down, a lifetime to go!




I really can't believe that there's only 4 more months until our little monkey turns one! Jack is so much fun (when he's not upset from teething) and we're constantly amazed at what he can do. Jack is weighing in at just under 19 lbs now. He sits up (then looks around and falls down), eats finger foods, creeps and rolls all over the place, gets up on his knees and rocks (we'll see when he can figure out how to coordinate his arms and legs and not fall straight into the floor like he does now), babbles constantly, plays peek-a-boo, loves banging his cars on his highchair tray, waves his arms when we clap, and puts anything he can get his hands on in his mouth. His personality is really starting to shine and we think he's going to be a pretty fun guy!
Here's my attempt at a picture of his teeth (sorry it's so blurry, but you can see the two little white teeth on the bottom).
Quite the little comb-over our Jack has these days!

New Years y Nachos!


For New Years we decided to have a little party with some good friends to ring in 2009. The Hoversens were in Southern California, so they graciously offered their home for the evening. We kept it low key and had a delicious nacho bar! I enjoyed 'bartending' again by making pomegranate margaritas. We had a great time with the kiddos before bed time and fun times playing games and chatting until new years! We've had a pretty fantastic year and can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for our family.

The Moe ladies were great at using the noise makers and were all set to party!

Mr. Malone was the lord of the new year. :)

Games until midnight and beyond!
