It has been a long time since I last posted. Sorry about that. We have been knee deep in football season (Hotty Toddy!) and the debate and Tom's new job and oh yea Jack is walking!! He goes about 7-8 steps at a time now and he can really move if there is a cat within his sight!
Whitefoot, Sierra, and Fiona are favorite targets of his affectionate claw like grasp, love bites and headbutts. Only Whitefoot is slow enough to get caught occasionally. The dogs are also recipients of Jack's somewhat overly affectionate activities. Maybelle loves it but Barney has to move from couch to couch just trying to find a peaceful place to nap away from the terrorizing, I mean totally adorable, 14 month old. I'm going to post a video later of Jack and Maybelle having a love-in.
This football season (woohoo the rebels have a winning record so far, 3-2) Jack went to the Ole Miss vs. Samford game and sat in the seats where his great-granfather sat many years ago. He is the 4th generation to sit in Row 39 Section E at Vaught-Hemingway. We only made it a quarter because it was hot and Jack was climbing up and down the rows and trying to eat popcorn and peanut shells off the floor - eww! Next time we'll stay longer because I think he would really love to hear the band. He still LOVES music and is now into playing the drums on his stomach, knees, mine or Tom's chest, his high chair, basically anywhere that makes a cool noise.
Because it is fall (read football season) Jack has had lots of visitors - Baby James Allen, Jay & Shelly, Baby (cousin) Annie, Great Aunt Susan, cousins Pep, Holley and Suannah and Wes, cousins Terral and Carter, Aunt Celia, cousins Meg and Izzy, Great Aunt Celia, cousins Sherm and Wendy, Auntie Katie, DeMatt and his sister Betsy, Aunt Lea and Uncle Carter, and Jill and Hallie Lane. This weekend Uncle Dave, Darlin' and the Granddude are coming to town. It should be a good time!
Jack still loves playing outside especially on his new sand/water table from Darlin' and the granddude but he is mosquito bait so we only play out there early in the morning to keep him from getting eaten up. Aunt Lea and Uncle Carter have been visiting a lot lately. Baby Sam is only a few weeks away and we are all excited to meet the little guy.
I'll post pics later. I don't really know how to post them so they look cool. I'm envious of my friends baby's blog (

Maybe after football season!
