my sweet baby

jack is getting bigger every day. last night dan, jack & i went out to dinner. jack had his first taste of ketchup, buttered roll, and garlic mashed potaoes with butter. jack is doing very well at sitting up. as you might recall, he has said his first word, "ma ma". jack loves to stand. he can stand propped up against an object, or you can hold his hands. he loves to bounce in his "johnny jump up". his grandma claire gave him his first drink of water from a glass just this week. it is amazing to participate in a human's first experiences. it's not anything big -- like a first trip to disney world or a first ride on a plane, but it is truly exhilerating. i love to watch jack's expression after he tries a new thing. i love it when he tastes a new food and opens his mouth wide for a second taste.
