It's officially spring in Seattle and while it is usually gloomy at this time of year, we have had a surprising amount of sunshine (thank goodness!). The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and Jack, Raleigh, and I have been walking Greenlake like it's our job. We live in such a beautiful place and when the sun is out, I can hardly get enough of it.
Jack turned 7 months on Saturday and is growing like a weed...both in width & height :). He sits up, rolls all around, and can "scoot" himself around the living room floor but has yet to crawl. We are in the process of pushing through those two bottom teeth so his toothless grin will soon be no more. I sound like a broken record, but parents aren't kidding when they say their kids grow up way too fast.
Some fun things that have happened since I wrote:
- Jack met his cousin, Luc (on the Abdallah side of Matt's family)
- Erin & Bennett stayed the night with us and Bennett took Jack to the park for his first swinging extravaganza.
- I went to Austin and left Jack for three nights which resulted in a horrible cold and ear infection. Worst weekend ever to be away! Grandma Julie and Matt took very good care of him though... (ok, this isn't a fun happening but Austin was!)
We have some visitors coming within these next weeks...my brother, the
Haagensons, and Maria! Then, Jack and I will fly to South Dakota to
visit my grandma for a week. I'm excited to show him my old stomping
grounds...Storybook Land & Twist Cone. That's about it for all of
the excitement in Aberdeen!

| After naptime. Dad calls this his sleep vest and I often hear him saying "Wow, pal,
what a nice vest you have!" I don't know why he thinks sleepsacks are
hilarious? Men... |
