Frankenstein Frank

Alternate hat for the Halloween costume!

Frank (Tyner) Family Reunion

The Jack had fun at his family reunion. When we first got there, a bunch of people gathered around to see Jack, and he was a little scared. Gradually he warmed up and let himself be held by some other people. He played in the floor for a while and loved his new books (Thanks, Beth and Family!). Paul and Cindy had a great time visiting with everyone. Eventually Jack got sleepy, but having a nap was not a happening thing, so Cindy had to carry him back downstairs and hold him swaddled in his blanket. He thought he was King of the Party!

Thanks Kyle and Richard for hosted such a fun party!

The next day, he got to wear his Halloween outfit and play with his cousins. Don't you just love the "ghost" hat! My favorite is the Frankenstein hat (See above post). We let him wear his Halloween stuff often, because of course it won't fit for long!

First Haircut!

Well, the vote was 60% for an immediate shearing, so we were forced to get the boy a haircut. (20% said wait until he was a year old, 20% said they liked the Harley dude ponytail idea!) Here are pictures of him before (top 2) and after (bottom 2) the cutting. The "before" pictures don't really do justice to the extremely long state of his hair. He did very well, only getting a little bit fussy. Notice Mom was in the "drying" stage of getting her hair done. Dad had to take time off work to properly memorialize the event in pictures and moving film. I'll try to upload the video in the future. That's Jo, of Jo and Co., who did the shearing.

Crawling...well, almost.

We have to watch out now when we put Jack on the floor, 'cause he is a moving boy! He is so close to crawling, but for now he just rolls everywhere. Everytime I put him on the floor I start singing the theme to a 1950's TV Western with a star who later went on to be mayor of a small California town. These are pictures of The Jack as he went au naturel (sort of) on our living room floor. In the bottom picture he is saying "Youse wanna piece o' me?", as he pats his bulging bicep.

Mom's Birthday

Mom and Dad went into Atlanta this past weekend to celebrate Mom's Birthday. We stayed in the city overnight and R.V. (The Super Sitter) took care of Jack and the Herd. It was our first night ever where we were both away from Jack! But we had fun anyway, knowing that R. V. was on the job. Obviously, Jack wasn't too worried, as the pictures of him after we left demonstrate.

Hair!

Cindy and her staff apparently have too much time on their hands.

The Tooth

1st Tooth. 'Nuff said.

Peeker

Now that Jack is bigger, he likes to roll onto his stomach when he wakes up. Cindy and I will go into his room to find him doing a push-up and peeking out over the bumper pad to see what's going on.

Labor Day

We all went to Rock Hill for Labor Day and for Will's birthday. Jack had fun swimming at the pool, but he wasn't so fond of going underwater. Later, Kyle and Richard came over, and the cousins had a big time in Richard's land yacht, "Uncle Sam"! Who's that fat guy with the dirty face helping Jack float?

The Pear Incident

One fine Saturday afternoon, Daddy sat down with Jack to feed him his first bite of pears. The pears did not get rave reviews. As a matter of fact, they got spit out. Shortly after this picture, Daddy thought he was going to have to do the Heimlich maneuver, but fortunately for all involved, the gag reflex is a wonderful thing.
