Jack’s new daily exercise consist of climbing up the stairs multiple times a day. Here are pictures of his very first climb that happened several days ago. My favorite shot is when he finally makes it to the top. You can see a look of great joy and accomplishment.

After living in our house for 2 1/2 years, we FINALLY decided to paint the Bonus Room. And it definitely needed it. Have you ever seen a wall painted with giant blue-on-blue diamonds? Well, we have–er, had–one.

But now it’s a beautiful khaki play room. Ahhh. Great work, Jeff!

Today Jack got his first pair of shoes. Now that he’s spending so much time on his feet, it’s time for him to have some shoes to keep him from slipping on our wood floors. He looks pretty sporty!

Today Jack got to have a playdate with two boys from our church. The funny thing is, both moms are named Mandy, and both boys are named Greyson (although one is Greyson with an “e” and one is Grayson with an “a”). Jack is the youngest of the three boys, but they were all born within a few weeks of each other. All three boys love to play with balls. Very fun!
