We've been busy with all the holidays and enjoying Jack being a year older this time around. Even though we have our Christmas tree barricaded, it's fun to see him getting in on the action. Here is our latest and greatest:

Jack ate 4 helpings of dessing at Thanksgiving!

1st Haircut

Making Christmas cookies

1st broken ornament thanks to Jack

We had to tighten up the tree gate. :)

Our little daredevil...

Halloween

Jack was a Jack-O-Lantern, of course.

Happy Birthday Jack!

Jack turned one! He had a great party that was centered around the 1999 movie "Elmo in Grouchland." He loves this movie and we tried to recreate it for his party.

Nonnie made this cake just for Jack...yes she is talented!

Sesame Street

Grouchland and Huxley's Castle



His favorite present...a truck from his Great Grandma!



11 Months and Counting...

Life has been busy with Jack, but in a good way. He started swim lessons with his friend Luci and he now goes to Mother's Day out twice a week. Such a big boy! Here are some pictures from the latest Higginbotham happenings.

10 Months

That was a good nap!

First Day of "School" (Mother's Day Out)

Swim Lessons

Chinese food was a hit!

So were the french fries he ate with Daddy.

First Picnic with his best friend Luci.

I know I'm bias...

But is this kid cute or what? Minus the drool on his shirt, of course. :)



Jack and Ace

Jack and Ace have a sweet relationship. It's a mutual love most of the time between the two of them. Ace only runs away from Jack occasionally!

Ace checked Jack out as soon as we brought him home.

Ace liked the idea of having a new nap buddy.

Now, Ace can hardly get a nap without Jack interrupting him.

Jack loves Ace's food bowl.

And his bed...

But at the end of the day, they are buddies.

Surfside

We went to Surfside Beach with some of my family for a weekend in the sun. The weather was great and we had fun boogie boarding, playing in the sand, and eating as always.

My mom got this pool for Jack in hopes that it would contain him, but he crawled right out.

Jack loved the sand!

Pacifier in to prevent sand eating...

Jack is learning to use a sippy cup.



My cousin's baby...Tyler-14 months, Jack-9 months



My grandaddy, William Foote. Jack's middle name came from him and Scott's grandfather.

Teeth

I finally managed to get a good picture of Jack's teeth. Say cheese!

The Latest and Greatest

July 4th was pretty uneventful for us this year since Jack goes to sleep before the fireworks start. We did enjoy a fun weekend with a big lunch at Nonnie and Joepa's, and we also grilled out with my mom and Kelly. We did wear our red, white and blue to church and enjoyed some mexican food afterward!

Jack is a funny guy. Here are a few of the latest pictures.

He woke up from a nap looking like this. He likes to sleep on his face!

We also went to Moody Gardens recently with our friends Roxanne and Lucy. We went to the Rainforest Pyramid, which was very neat. Butterflies and lots of plants!

Lucy & Jack

Jack was more interested in this leaf than anything else.
