Jack's New "Look" for Spring

Well, to be fair, it's not so much a new "look," as a new expression. He gets this devilish, almost scheming, expression every once in a while, like he's thinking of doing something naughty, and I freaking love it. The new and normal looks are shown for comparison.

"Yes, I can pull off these shorts."

The Elusive "Suzequatch"

This video speaks for itself.

Jamie: "Eat your heart out Orvis!! Let Susie Buck show you how it's done!! (Keep in mind, this water is 46 degrees Fahrenheit!!)."

Susie: "Does this vest come with a hands-free system?"

Family Fly Fishing!

Susie and Jamie fly fishing the Gunpowder River on a perfect Spring day. Susie caught her first trout of the season using a difficult deep water "streamer" fly technique! Jamie almost caught several fish. The one that got away was, naturally, enormous.

Cute Close-Ups

I couldn't decide which one I liked most, so I posted them all.

Busted?

Is it me, or does he look guilty, like he was just caught in the act?

Chubster

OMG. I was just looking through some pics of when Jack was a newborn and I cannot believe how incredibly small he was!!! I think that at the time I refused to see or acknowledge how tiny he was. I'll admit now that I even got a little upset when people saw him for the first time and commented on how small he was. But my god, it was so true!

Jack at Four Months

I seem to get a lot of these pictures of Jack when we're puting him into or taking him out of his car seat. Maybe it's because he's sitting still, which is rare.

So, for all of you asking for updated photos, here's a picture from this past weekend.

Maggie's New Game

So we finally decided to put the old stuffed animals that were mine as a baby away. The ones that Maggie kept pulling out and leaving on the floor. See Jan. 22nd post.


That didn't stop Mags though. Her new game is to search for and retrieve one, just one, of Jack's pacifiers, and leave it in the middle of the dining room floor as she did with the stuffed animals.


The other day I came home early, and was greeted by a VERY guilty looking dog, who apparently had just committed an illegal act. I immediately new something was up by her expression and demeanor, and asked her, "Maggie, what did you do?" She took me into the dining room and showed me this. I immediately snapped a picture with my phone.

All Smiles!

Well, as you can see, Jack has a thing about being super cute in the mornings just before we head off to Grandma's house for the day.

He's almost at the point where he can actually laugh out loud, but not quite there yet.




So, when he smiles like this, a funny cooing giggling sound comes out of him. It's absolutely precious.

It's Cute, So It's Posted!!

Well, simply put, this has to be my favorite picture of Jack so far.

I snapped this as Jack and I were getting ready to leave the house and head for Grandma's.

Mary was having a rough day (Friday the 13th I might add), as she had just come down with a cold. Jack was being about as cute as I've ever seen that morning, so I snapped this with my phone and sent it to Mommy to cheer her up.

It worked.

Concerned, Just About a Few Things

"Ummm... I'm really not so sure about this whole 'sitting up' thing. In fact, I have some questions for you, if you have the time."

Strollin'

We had gorgeous weather in Baltimore today, so we took Jack for a spin in his ride. He slept the entire time, but had fun anyway. We're very much looking forward to spring so we can go for walks more often, because being cooped up in the house gets old after a while.
