A little catch-up.

I haven't downloaded videos from my Flip since before Christmas, so I have a little video catch-up to play. Thanks for the understanding. The recent events that have been video worthy (in my opinion) have been Jack's new motor developments.

In this first video he has just learned to "walk" while holding onto something. He could only do this on the tile (at this time) and his preferred object was one of my mom's kitchen chairs.

This video is documentation of a progression in development of the walking with a pushing toy. Jackie is now really good with this walking toy, and is making us feel that "true walking" is just around the corner. He now walks holding our fingers and transfers between pieces of furniture when he's cruising.

Just last week Jack learned to crawl up the stairs. We were pretty excited about this new development, but like any other new development, is requiring a new level of surveillance. We don't mind - we just love watching him grow and develop!

Here are a few pictures from this last week. We haven't been too busy, which in one way is nice and in another way is making us a little stir crazy! We'll get out and do something fun this weekend!

Smiling for a picture (which is a feat these days. We've started the huge, cheesy, open-mouthed fake smile stage, so getting a natural smile for a picture is difficult).
