"The poorest, the weakest, the simplest child, is born for immortality. This value outweighs the entire material universe, no matter how small a mark this child makes on it. The tiniest infant owns a deathless intellect, and is as immortal as the Father of spirits. No one can tell what this child will become."

~ A Prebyterian Pastor who died in 1873


"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

~ (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

"O chatty cathy O chatty cathy"


We have a talker, Jack is 6 1/2 months old and last night while shopping with mommy and grandmother he said...... "BYE BYE" or more like "BA BYE"


He was getting a little fussy and in an attempt to calm him down we kept telling him "we are about to go bye bye."

Knowing we had a least another hour of shopping to do.


After that he grabbed his foot and said BA BYE then proceeded with his favorite past time... toe sucking.
Daddy hasn't heard it yet but I am sure it's coming,





Also congrats to Andrea who matched (got selected by) her #1 pick UCSF we hate to see you go but we are so proud of you from what you've said it is a great program and we know how hard you've worked to get where you are.

6 Month Checkup



















Jack, today you had your 6mo checkup. This meant shots, but you did so well. When we arrived you were asleep so I was afraid you would be cranky when we woke you up but when you heard another vaccine victim screaming you woke right up and you were in a great mood.

You are in the 5-10th percentile in weight at 15.4 lbs and the 75th percentile on height at 26.75. And for whatever it's worth your head is 16.75 around.

You took 3 shots and one oral vaccine, I talked the nurse into giving you the oral vaccine after the shots so you would think you were getting a treat and to take your mind off of the pain a little. It worked well, you still whimpered after the tasty vaccine but sucked it up like such a big boy. Below are some pictures with your mommy and daddy and Dr. Khouri.











This is your new favorite thing, putting your foot in your mouth. When I asked Dr. Khouri if we should still use the nursery water for your bottles he replied "If he is putting his feet in his mouth (which aren't necessarily sanitary) then why give him sanitary water... makes no sense." And that folks is why HE is the Dr :)

6 months old

Jack, Sunday not only did you turn 1/2 a year old but you also saw your very first snow. What a day, mommy and daddy went to Target and bought you a Word World (you and your daddys' favorite show) duck and DVD also a popular classic, a glow worm. Here are some pics of you all grown up :(



Here you are trying to chew on cookie monsters cookie.
And here you are pondering how you got so big so fast! Oh and trying to stay awake.



Jacks' response to Auntie A moving to San Fran

DON'T GO!!!!








Think You've Seen It All?

My dad saw this at the Japanese restaurant parking lot, in the Publix shopping center.

He said he hoped it wasn't on the menu! And YES that is a monkey in the back of a pick up.
