So far 2011 has been packed full!
I will add commentary as I go. Charlie's six month photos and our trip to Canada will be my next posts...
To start the year off with a bang we took Jack ice skating for the first time. He LOVED it! He really struggled to move without falling, so we had to pretty much hold him up the whole time (can you say ouch my back!), but it was totally worth seeing him so darn happy!
Daddy was pretty proud to lace up his skates for the first time.
He could at least stand up by himself! Look at that cheezy grin!
Holding tight to his security dog and best pal, Shorty. (self named by Jack) For awhile there Jack did not go ANYWHERE without Shorty.
Jack looks a little bit intimidated.
Here we go...
By the end he was really trying to move his legs and skate!
The Zamboni came out, followed by a young hockey team and Jack was mesmerized!
One HAPPY boy! Somehow I feel this will probably be the first of a about a million trips to some sort of ice rink!
Next big event was my mom's Birthday! Of course Jack was immediately on hand to help blow out candles, sing and EAT cake!!
Charlie didn't care about eating cake, he just wanted to eat the bows.
A few rare moments of two busy bodies sitting still and sharing some brotherly love. I LOVE it!
Jack is a vigorous hugger. Poor Charlie.
Next was Daddy's birthday! We had Baked Alaska for desert after a yummy steak dinner.
Charlie is working on sitting up and sitting in the high chair. He loves this particular toy that he can bang on and it makes fun music.
Sitting up can be a challenge when you have such wonderfully heavy cheeks to weigh you down!
We got just enough snow to make a very small snow man. Jack and I geared up and headed out.
Jack didn't seem to care that this was the smallest, saddest looking snowman ever. He was in love.
Giving Mr. Snowman a kiss
Jack even let the snowman have BOTH hockey sticks and kindly showed him how to hit a ball.

Charlie has gotten big enough to get into the baby bouncer entertainment center. He loves it and will bounce his little feet off!
Uh, Hi Mom.
Time for my birthday. I got spoiled multiple times with a yummy dinner and desert at home and also a great day with MVH cake and dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Dayton with my parents, my boys and Jess and Sam.
After three recent birthdays, Jack is a pro candle blower outer. He is already talking about his birthday!
Jess and Sam are going to be WONDERFUL parents!
Charlie loves his grandma and grandpa
In preparation for our long car ride to Canada, I loaded some special apps to entertain Jack for the ride on my iphone. This has lead to Jack being CRAZY obsessed with my phone and in particular one app called 'Talking Larry'. This is a white bird with big googly eyes that repeats any noise or word that you say. It was a month ago that I purchased this 99 cent app and to this day Jack still asks to see Larry on a daily if not hourly basis. He wakes up and immediately asks to talk to Larry. It is a bit nuts, but kinda cute listening to him have conversations with this bird. Here is Jack holding Larry.
Cracking himself up talking to his best friend Larry.
A few recent shots of my GROWING baby!
And finally, just a few days ago....St. Patty's day.... Boys in green.
Jack's GREEN dinner.
