Boys play dress up?

Jack has this new fascination with dressing up in womens' clothing. In this second picture, hiding behind the bra, his manly shirt says "Hockey". We try so hard to raise a masculine son, but he seems to do a pretty good job foiling our efforts. We had nothing to do with these pictures. Jack just gets into the laundry baskets, puts the clothes around his head and walks into the room showing off his new look.

Jack likes to carry his popcorn pusher toy all around. He also likes to lick its clear dome.

And these last two are from his second birthday celebration - this one with the Bakken family.

Birthday in Chicago

After this he picked up his plate and licked it. Didn't get it on camera, though.

Nevermind Dan's hairy arm, I just think Jack looks really cute in this picture.

Then and Now

We'll be in Chicago in less than 5 days now. I'm practically counting the minutes. It's been quite a while since my sisters and parents have seen Jack. He's changed quite a bit since they've last played with him...
These next two pictures are from around the same time I flew out with just Jack in February. I couldn't find any pictures from my actual time visiting. I think Jack was about 5 months. He was 8 weeks in the first two pics.

And here he is now, just short of a year. He can't wait to come out and see everybody. And get presents too :-) And that's raspberry jelly on his eyebrow.
