lately

I have been horrible about posting lately and I'm really sorry. Life is pretty crazy here most of the time and last weekend Jack got a virus with runny nose and cough (and if you know Jack, you know he hates blowing his nose more than pretty much anything so it's like WWIII over here trying to get him to just blow it!) Then I got it and I was happy to blow my nose because it was one of those viruses that feel like there's 1,000,000,000 bees buzzing inside your nose at all times and a cough and general malaise. Now poor sweet Juni has the cough and a low fever this morning so we are just laying low here at home hoping it doesn't warrant a trip to the doctor. Here's some pics to distract you from this lame post about sicness:

This was Friday, I got Juni dressed up for her friend Stella's first birthday party. As Chris says, she was the belle of the ball <3 nbsp="" p="">

This is to show she doesn't always look like the belle of the ball but that's our Juni! She makes this face when her nose is stuffy, It is accompanied by a snort usually. 

This is a flyer for a place here in Miami called the nest. They are an "emotional wellness center" and help parents and kids with different things. They asked me ages ago if they could use this picture someone took of Jack at an event they had and I just saw it in a store the other day and grabbed one. He as so cute and little! 

Hi there! 

My Junebug is a cartoon! 

At the birthday party on Friday, Jack and his friend Dylan decided to play swordfight with some sticks. Jack lost, but at least he didn't lose is eye which is what I was sure happened when he came walking into the house crying and holding his eye, and Dylan following behind him with a giant stick in his hand. Amazingly he didn't even bruise or swell. The kid has incredible healing powers. 

i do it myself!

Jack has started dressing himself. He also likes to stand on his bench and put on a show while he does it.

dance dance dance

Jack has been watching the Rockettes on Youtube since Thanksgiving when he saw them on tv. He's finally watched it enough that he's memorized their moves and now he is a dancing fool.
Please enjoy!

roundup

It's amazing to me that only a year has gone by between this
and this


Jack is such a big kid now. The babiness is totally gone. Hes a walking talking comprehending little person and I love it. So many people ask me if I miss his babiness and sure I do sometimes, the snuggles, the cooing and the firsts: smiles, laughs, crawls, steps. But I love who he has become and who he is going to continue to be in the years to come.

He has friends now, not just kids of people Chris and I are friends with, but genuine friends who he asks about and lights up when he sees, especially Stella, who we can't help but call his girlfriend


And his cousin Lilly who he only gets to see every few months but he loves and asks about all the time

There's Lucy, his friend from school who we have playdates with at least once a week

There's also Tai who had to move away and won't be at school when they start back next week.


and Dylan, his only male friends because, well, Jack loves the ladies most of all...

Like his teachers May


and Ligia



There's so much to look forward to this year, starting with Jack's 3rd birthday which looks like it will be a week-long celebration and I promise, yes I PROMISE I will post pictures soon!

Happy New Year!
