Hot. Blech.  I really hate summer.  Tomorrow I hope to run away to my parents’ house for a few days.  I’m getting burned out by being home alone with Jack day in and day out.  Sure, I had fun shopping with my sister this weekend.  Tonight I might escape for a few hours to play trivia.  But I’m building a serious case of the doldrums.  For every cute video or picture I post, there’s at least an hour of fussing or crying which I didn’t think was particularly photo worthy.  

Third nap of the day.  Finally.  He’s having a hard day.  Aw crap, looks like he’s woken himself up again.  I better go pacify.

Jack can handle tummy time for a couple minutes now before having a melt down. Exercise is so HARD!  (Right after I cut the shot he completed the hiccup-cough-sneeze combo with a long fart.  He is an artist.)

The cupcakes I alluded to were for my friend April’s baby shower.  She has three boys and just welcomed a girl, Ella, the same week Jack was born!  Sarah hosted the party and as expected, it was spectacular.  Everyone should have a friend with Sarah’s capabilities.  Her husband Steve posted some pictures on the blog.  The cupcakes I made were mini versions of the cupcakes I had at my graduation.  I also put my Cricut to use to make a name banner.  Ella got some super cute clothes!  Jack is great, but I wish I could put him in something with ruffles on the bum.  If they are black ruffles with flames up the legs, does that work for a guy?

I caught Ben reading the classic Pat the Bunny to Jack.  But his interpretation is more authoritarian than most.

Yes, I already posted two Jack things today.  Do I do anything else?  (Yes, today I made carnitas and cupcakes and did laundry).  But look!  Look at the cuteness!  (This is mostly a video for Grandmas.  Others may tire after the first 30 seconds.)

Pardon my dorkiness. I find my voice super obnoxious here, but Jack seems to respond when I talk this way. Whenever you hear “mmmmm” I’m sticking my tongue out at him.

We didn’t do a whole lot to celebrate the 4th this year.  We met some friends in the park for a picnic.  Delicious!  The rain chased us away after an hour.  We retreated to Brian’s house for Rock Band.
