I was about to begin posting to my blog by saying that it has been a while since I posted. But then that seemed familiar, like I had set it before. I then looked back and realized that I had said it before and more than once.

I feel bad that I am not posting too much. The fact is, I used to not be able to move around very much so I had a lot of downtime. I was able to spend a lot of time on the computer and working with my pictures. But now I am a mobile boy, I can scoot and crawl at high speeds. So I don't have as much free time on the computer. But I promise that I will post more often or at least try.

So, anyway, I've been a busy boy. Before the weather got hot I was spending lots and lots of time outside, going for multiple walks a day, walking down to the swings at Sawyer Point, going to Fountain Square, and hanging out at Cadillac Ranch (oh wait, I snuck out to do that :) ). Now that the weather has gotten so hot, I have been staying indoors and working on my crawling and pulling myself up on the furniture. I have gotten very good at both. I think it has made everyone who takes care of me tired from chasing me around.

Also, after lots of work I finally had teeth pop through; two good ones on the bottom, two more coming quick on the top.

Speaking of being on the go (as I was a couple paragraphs back), that's what me, Mom, and Dad have been. Since we got back from vacation, we had the KMK picnic - it was a pirate theme ("but I didn't want to be a pirate"):

I have also taken trips to Papaw and Mimi's, to Aunt Frances' new house and to Grandma and Grandpa's. So fun. I got to see tons of my relatives when we got together for Great-Grandpa Muething's birthday (happy belated birthday, Great-Grandpa -- and to Grandpa Muething, Daddy, and Great-Grandma Jones too). I wish I had some pictures to share but these trips were because Mom and Dad, my typical photographers, had weddings to go to out of town - next time they should leave the camera.

I can't tell you how much fun that Mom, Dad, and I are having (of course I am having fun with everyone else too). It seems like everyday that we come up with a new game to play or thing to do. I am growing ever more communicative and playful as well.

Anyway, here are some pictures of me just around.

Sometimes I bounce on Mommy's knee:

Sometimes I sleep on Daddy's shoulder:

Here's me taking a hillbilly bath (on a granite countertop - it's the condo version):

Dad's friend Matt got me some White Sox gear. It's come in handy with the Reds being so bad.

Speaking of the Reds, we had our big birthday celebration at the game a couple nights ago. Here's me and Grandpa together there:

Mr. Red tried to hold me - I was unimpressed.

It was better, but not much so when Dad got involved:

Around the house I like to play with Sally. She's pretty nice in that she doesn't really mind if I accidentally forget that she's not one of my toys and I pull her tail real hard. Here she went hiding in a box and I had to try to track her down.

I said, "What's Sally doing in there, she's crazy, huh?"

And then that crazy cat wouldn't get out of the box but was reaching for me with her paw anyway through the hole in the side of the box.

Anyway, we're having lots of fun and hope to see everyone soon.

Love,
Jack
