’bout Jack and Annie …

And so it begins ...

I'm pretty sure Jack and I had our first "stand-off" this morning. On our front door we have a door hanger thingy with a bell on it (apparently it's supposed to ward off evil spirits). Jack loves to chew on the bell. The first time he did it this morning, I picked him up, said 'no, that's yucky,' and moved him across the room to his other toys. He then proceeded to march (actually, to army crawl) right back to the bell, put it in his mouth, turn around and stare right at me.

I can't understand it -- it's not like he comes from stubborn parents or anything (Hi, Lici!) ...

Oh, it is ON!

  1. A belated welcome to the blogosphere! Jen Snee shared your blog with me. Impressive stuff. Grandparents love a daily photo, which is my fall-back option on Greta Grows.

    Greta is already promised to Jay Humphreys, who shares her birthday, but it would still be OK if we let her meet Jack in person at some point this spring.

    And if you've checked out our blog, you know we'll need some "how to raise a boy" tips this summer!
