Jackie Boy

For months now, Ella has been calling Jack, "Jackie Boy." We're not sure how it started, but it stuck, and now it seems to fit him. While Jack is by far the chill, laid-back child in our family, he's recently started taking after his sister in the "busybody" department. He's officially on the move, crawling/swimming as far as it takes to get what he wants. And what he wants is to play with his big sister, and her toys. Of course, anyone with siblings knows how this one goes, and so we've begun the "You have to share with your brother" lectures, and even the "You can't sit on your brother" speeches, too. Needless to say, he's enamored with her, and it's pretty great to see them interacting - even if it results in one or both of them crying.

He was a little hesitant at first, but then he started giggling!

When big sister is away, little brother will play (in her room, without being sat on).

Jack loves Gary the Gorilla.

She's determined.

He got stuck under the end table.

He's so interested in Ella's toys.

Abbie and Eric babysat last week and took these next photos. 

We're sure going to miss Abbie and Eric when they move next month!
