I like waffles!


Jack has recently started this bizarre behavior when eating foods he really likes. He squeezes his eyes shut and pops his mouth open like a carp. It's like his "baby bird" impression he used to do when he was a baby, but on steroids. It's absolutely hysterical.



Sometimes he also does this weird thing with his eyes where he'll look up and turn his head away, but keep his eyes looking forward. (This has nothing to do with the food, though. We just happened to catch him doing it on camera while we were eating breakfast.)



A couple cute pictures of him in the sun room, with a nice case of bedhead.



Jack and I reading some books together.


(We're counting the cookies on the page)


Uncle John trying to teach Max some water skills. John was finally able to coax him into getting wet!



The day after Christmas, Andy and I left Jack at Grandma and Granddaddy's while we went downtown with Tyler and Devon. John and Anna helped babysit Jack; here are some pictures that were taken during their time together.






One of Grandma's presents was a wheeled cart to use for yardwork. Uncle John assembled it for her, and Jack apparently became fascinated by the wheels. Grandma also got a cute video of Jack "helping" John put the cart together (there's no sound to the video).



Finally, I won't disclose any details from the wild and crazy night we had in Atlanta, but here are a couple pictures that show a good time was had by all.

Christmas Day

Get your mouse ready; this is going to take a while...

Jack's ridiculous mountain of gifts

We tried to follow tradition on Christmas morning and get a picture of Jack as he came down the stairs. Unfortunately, Jack had become involved in playing with an upstairs ceiling fan while we were waiting to come down, and he did not want to leave the fan. These pictures are of us literally dragging Jack away from the fan to come downstairs to open his Christmas presents.



His mood quickly improved when he saw the shiny toys under the Christmas tree.


Jack had to take a quick break from looking at toys to go into the sun room and make sure his remote-controlled fan was still out there.

Christmas night we had our traditional supper of chicken stew and opened a few more presents. The biggest hit was Jack's present of camo hat and mittens from Rita and Jimmy.




Jack liked this flashing Rudolph nose, but he got upset when I put it on him.


Finally, the Fields family
