Not much going on

The title says it all. I just feel the need to write.

Other than the usual baby developmental advancements, our lives are pretty routine. In terms of development, Jack has learned to go "uh uh uhuhuh" when someone takes something that he has or wants to have. Alternatively, he has a "ah ah ahahahahah" when he wants you to DO something with said thing that was just taken.

Not huge things: he can put stuff INTO other stuff. His favorite is to put bath toys in the cup that we use to rinse his hair. He doesn't like when other people put something in his stuff. i.e. putting eggs in his newly rediscovered Easter basket. He's also learned that when he throws a toy over the gate, it can be retrieved underneath the opening. This is very cute. It will also entertain him for a good 7-10 minutes. Lovely time to hop on Facebook and reconnect with the world.

Perhaps the neatest thing that he's learned is to spin around. He spins and spins and falls down. It's quite cute. I didn't know that this started so early. He climbs in and out of things and can climb up onto his rocking giraffe and rock. He can also rock his little rocking chair. Both awesome birthday gifts.

He's learned to say "ball" and actually does the "l" sound. His tongue sticks out really far and he says "b-llllll" kinda like the "a" is skipped. I love it. He gives kisses now. Big, openmouthed sloppy baby kisses. These are the best because I have to work so hard to get them. Yesterday he gave me several in a row and I didn't receive any more until tonight before bed.

I feel rushed lately. I'm not sure why, it's not like I do anything or go anywhere. But somehow, I'm always rushing around. I don't like the feeling that I'm always having to play catch up. I thought summer vacation was supposed to be relaxing. Lies, I tell you. LIES!
