Coloring

Jack wanted to try a new skill today, so we got out some crayons and paper and tried to make some art. For some reason, he kept making funny faces at me while I took his picture. It could be because he somehow got crayon on his teeth...

And another silly face. This isn't really typical for him, so I'm not sure what the deal was. He's such a silly boy sometimes.

Here is his finished art work. It's true, he didn't really color much of it by himself, but he had the image he wanted to create in his head, and I just helped him express it onto paper. He was very proud of himself when he actually made marks on the paper with the crayon, though. It was cute.

Maybe he felt that his work was not going to be appreciated in its time. Or maybe he wanted to make a collage with the colored paper...


Yay for Jack and his first time coloring! Hopefully he will make many more beautiful pictures.


In other news, we wanted to get some pictures or video of Jack taking more steps, but he hasn't wanted to try! After those initial first days of walking, he has since decided not to walk anymore. So we'll just wait for him to be ready. I'm sure he'll let us know.


We also tried cow's milk for the first time, but Jack threw up on the floor of Fred Meyer after drinking only a few sips, so... maybe he wasn't quite ready.


He has been ready, however, for more sleep. After what has seemed like a long and hard battle, Jack has started sleeping all night long, and has even started taking longer naps more often. Sometimes he will sleep for one hour or one and a half hours during the day. It has been great. Let's hope it keeps up. He has had us fooled a few times with thinking he was going to sleep through the night, only to find after a few days that it was just a fluke. We shall see...
