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!

Chinese food was a hit!

So were the french fries he ate with Daddy.

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 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.

8 Months

Jack recently turned 8 months and is growing up so fast. I think his main mission in life now is to find anything to pull up on. He crawls but would much rather "walk," meaning you holding his hands and guiding him around the house all day. My hamstrings are thanking him for the workout. Here are a few pictures of our latest adventures. The first is a picture of Scott and his dad, which we recreated for a Father's day gift for Joepa.

Can you see my 2 teeth?

Jack's first boat ride! He did awesome and is definitely a water baby.
