A Visit to Papa & Samma's House

Daddy made a trip to Texas for a long weekend to visit family, and we made the trip to Papa & Samma's house to play for a few days.
We learned how to sit at the table to play like big cousin Teigen does!
Aunt Missy was traveling "across the pond" so Uncle Nate came to visit for a couple days with the boys (cousin Teigen & baby Rourke).
There are all sorts of fun things to play with in the basement play room!
We ate meals and shared food (like mango & sweet potato fries) with Teigen.
Baby gates are no match for this twosome!
Malynn & I were enjoying a favorite, Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Thinks You Can Think.
Teigen decided to get in on story time, while Jack was busy investigating big stuff.

Trial and Error

Jack is very busy figuring out how things work these days. If it can be moved or manipulated in any way he's on it! He especially loves pushing on things, big things, to see if/how they move, such as stools, chairs, pack-n-plays (yup, he's strong enough to push around a pack-n-play!). One of the best things to watch was when he was rattling the blinds and discovered that shaking them down at the bottom made the strings at the top move around. I don't know who had the better look of fascination on their face, him or me. :) But, one of his favorites is the basketball hoop on this walk/ride toy. Once he realized that putting a little ball in the hoop made it roll out the side and catch in a pocket below he has been trying to put all sorts of things in the hoop to test them out! He has found that most things other than small balls don't work (e.g., blocks, books, diaper cream bottles, markers, bath letters, computer mice, sippy cups -see below-), but he has had some success with smaller items such as a paci and a little toy guy. What will he try next?

Standing is More Fun Than Sleeping

It's taking a little longer to get to sleep at nap time because this is what we do now...
I wonder how far away the day is when I find one of them in the other one's crib?

Morning Discoveries

For a while now I've been putting a few random toys in the boxes for Malynn and Jack to find. At first I had to open the boxes for them. Now when they go over to choose toys in the morning they shake the boxes and go after whatever they find inside.

It's been a fun way to spark their curiosity!
