Little Jack is not so little anymore...he is now 7 months old!! He is so much fun, and each day is a million times better because we have him in our lives.

2. He loves to Jump in his jumper...his dad set it up in the middle of the front room so he can jump all around.
3. He wears size 3 diapers.
4. Last week he got up on all 4s for the first time, he makes slight movements but not fully crawling yet.
5. Still no teeth.
6. He still sleeps really well at night.
7. LOVES water! Bathtub, pool, lake, ocean...takes after his daddy.
8. He loves to laugh and smile.
9. He likes to hold and use his sippy cup like a big boy.
10. He likes to says Dadaa Dadaa. He doesn't realize what he is saying yet, but it still melts is daddy's heart to hear it.

Earlier this month we were able to go to Florida for 10 days for Tyler's graduation. He actually finished school in December but decided to walk in May so we could stay and make a vacation out of it. I am so proud of him and all his hard work.
My 2 graduates


Our friends the Ottesen's were able to come and join in the fun too, it was fun having them there! The trip was really fun and luckily Jack did really well on the plane and with all of the driving! We are so lucky to have such a good little boy!

The first few days we drove over to the West coast side and stopped at Santibel island and Siesta Key! When they say Santibel Island is one of the world's top beaches for sea shells they weren't kidding! We found some really cool shells to add to our collection, and Jack loved playing in the sand/water.












We also went to Everglades City for the first time. It was a fun little town and had some tasty grouper and alligator for us to eat. Tyler also found a gator head he has been wanting so it was a successful trip.
This big guy was soaking up the sun just 2 feet off of the trail




We then made our way down to the keys and spent the next 6 days there. We stayed in marathon at Hawks Cay Resort! It was the perfect place with kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, patio, ocean front yard, and even a washer and dryer. They also have their own lagoon pool and several freshwater pools around the resort. It was the perfect place for a family getaway.









Did I mention Jack LOVES to play in the sand??!! LOL


Getting a little sleepy lol

Trying out the new floating bodysuit






A few of the fish from the deep sea fishing charter. We ate fish for 5 days, grilled fish, bbq fish, baked fish, broiled fish, fish tacos, it was SOO YUMMY!!









One day we spent in Key West walking around the shops and checking out all the historical places. We also went to the butterfly conservatory which we hadn't done on any of our previous keys trips. Surprisingly it was really cool and Jack LOVED it!! As you enter there are tons of beautiful butterflies flying around. Jack loved watching them fly around and he would reach out and trying to grab them.
















Jack fell asleep holding his fan lol


Yummy Cuban food in Key West


The flight home was really smooth and Jack just sat in the seat between us and played with his toys and slept.
