A cha-cha and more

Ali's Kindergarten class learned ballroom dancing, and then they put on a performance for all the parents. Not surprising, but Ali was amazing.

This is her partner, Parker.

They ended the number with a big "dip." Ali and her partner did such a great job. Not sure if you can tell very well from the picture, but the couple in back have a strangle hold going on. I have a video of the whole thing, and maybe when I have an hour to download it, then I will put it on the blog, but for now just try to imagine them dancing flawlessly around the room.

Here are a few picture that show a bit of what else has been going on at our house.

Kat is normally very, very loving with Jack, but I think he was getting too loud for her this time.

On the Jack advancement front, he played with toys for the first time today. Yesterday he discovered he had hands, so now he is eager to use them. Unfortunately he only has sisters, so his first toy is a doll. Sorry Nick.

He found his hands, he can play with toys, but he is not ready for the bumbo yet... maybe a few more weeks.

giggles

I took out my camera to record him smiling, and I caught his first giggle!

Sorry about the bad camera angle and the lack of editing, we need a new video camera and I just used our regular camera. If you want to skip right to the giggle skip to about second 30.

Party! at 3 months


This weekend we went up to Bakersfield to celebrate my nephews' birthdays (Trevor 7 is on the left and Gavin 2 is on the right).

Jack didn't get to go on any of the bouncy houses, but he got lots of snuggles.

The girls had loads of fun!

Cake and ice cream was a big hit. At the end of the day I asked Ali what she liked best, and she couldn't decide which she liked better, the cake or the bounce houses. I think she just wanted to sit on the birthday throne!

Jack turned 3 months old today! He is such a sweetie boy.

I told him to smile, and already he is sticking his tongue at me!
