El Piccolo Bandito, right at home alongside the Rio Grande. We didn't quite manage to get the scarf over the nose and under the eyes. But you get the idea.

Happy baby Samurai? Little biker dude?

Elf hat? Pope hat?

Baby Smurf. This was pretty much when Jack ran out of patience with the whole hat process.

Problem Solving

Yesterday, Jack's Grandma Ruth had him working on trying to crawl toward a few little toys. After he'd tried in vain to move forward for several minutes, he decided it was easier to lie down and pull the sheet toward him to get at those darn toys.

Grandpa Ray

When Grandpa Ray got home from work today, he immediately sat down and started playing with Jack. He did this hilarious thing with a monkey hand puppet that almost had Jack crawling. Jeff was so captivated by it that he forgot to pick up the camera. (Neglectful father.) Jack says this big guy is all sorts of fun.

Uncle Greg & Jack

Greg and Danielle went down to Santa Fe with us this weekend. They were both really sweet with Jack, and he got a huge kick out of them. We aren't posting the pictures of Jack and Greg with Danielle, because she hates to have her picture taken -- although it turned out great. Greg and Danielle went back to Ft Collins this afternoon. Jack misses them already.
