Revolutionary Parenting

You can't learn this in any parenting book. If these two videos don't win us "Parents of the Year", I'm not sure what will...

Giving Elmo the Business

Halloween

Although Jack didn't love wearing the hood, he did pretty well on his first halloween as a monkey. He didn't get a ton of candy, but scored some pizza and cookies so it was definitely an overall successful night.

Uncle Joe and Pete

vacation in New Hampshire

Here are some pictures from our vacation to New Hampshire in September.

1st birthday

Another old one...sorry for the delay on these. Here's Jack on his 1st birthday having a cupcake!

new trick

This video is several months old and this isn't a big deal for Jack anymore, but he sure thought it was cool when he first did it!

new pics

Jack with his mom and Gramma Debbie on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

Man, aren't pine cones AMAZING!

what a smile on that kid!

There's actually a HUGE fish on the end of that chain, you just can't see it because its SO heavy that Jack can't lift it.  Jack is so good that he needs to use a chain to haul in the giant fish he catches!

Jack got to see all of his Killory family recently, and got to play with his cousin Maia.  Here he is with Maia, Narges, and Great Gramma Rita (and his mom)

Playing on the beach with Mom and Uncle Brendan and cousin Maia.

Getting into trouble, ripping up flowers - one of his favorite pastimes.

Jack got a new wagon for his birthday so here he is showing Grampa David how to put it together.  Since he was working and he's a man now that he's one, he decided to take his shirt off to show his muscles.

Beating up his dad...he's heavier than he looks!

1st birthday

Here are some pictures from Jack's 1st birthday shindig a few weeks ago.  He devoured a cupcake and liked pizza even more.  I know by looking at him that you would never guess he enjoys pizza and cupcakes...it came as a shock to us too!

Everyone is actually singing him happy birthday here.  But he's got so much pizza stuffed into his mouth, that he can't really react.  He literally took the whole crust and jammed it into his mouth.  I guess he saw the cake coming out and was afraid that someone was going to take this pizza away before he finished - but he showed us.  He's not one to leave food on his plate.

Erin repainted Jack's playroom and our neighbors gave Jack this cool play table so here he is messing around.

Piano Man

he's rewriting the classics...

hiding in the box

new haircut

Jack FINALLY got a haircut yesterday and here he is showing it off.

And walking a little on his own...

Here he is in the barber's chair at Nanci's barbershop for his first official cut.  he definitely didn't love sitting still, but the lady did a great job!

fun in the tub

hiding in the cupboards

Hanging out in the big city

The fatman took a trip into Boston recently with his mom and got to go see the swan boats.  What a physique on that kid huh?

Having fun with TJ and Ilka

Riding the ducks at the park.  He's quite the cowboy...

After riding that fake duck, Jack takes a run at the real thing.

another video of Jack doing some walking from about a month ago.

This one is a couple months old.  He really doesn't use his jumper anymore.  He's way too cool for it now that he wants to walk everywhere.

Mohawk after a bath

Here's Jack trying to decide how good this stick will taste.

More fun on the swing at Gramma and Grampa's in Plymouth

Here he is modeling this REALLY cool coat that Gramma Debbie found that used to be his Uncle Brendan's.  If we could only find a cowboy hat big enough to fit that head...

Teeth

Wow, look at the size of the head on this kid...

Here is a video from about a month ago of Jack doing some walking.

This one is from about a month ago too.  Jack's quite the conversationalist.

Memorial Day Weekend

Here's Jack pushing around his little walker.  He's getting pretty good

Jack had a blast swinging in his new swing that his Grampa hung up for him at their house.

Jack showing off again with his walker...

Waving to the camera with Grampa. 

Still laughing in that great swing.

Jack's walking...kind of

Here's a great picture of Jack with his mom, Gramma Debbie, and Uncle Ted and Andrea's new baby girl Caroline.  Erin did a great job of keeping Jack from eating the new baby.

Look at the fatman walking...

Hanging with mom and wearing the only hat we could find big enough to fit his gigantic head.
