Jack and I had a great time visiting Seattle for a few days to meet Tommy. He seems like a really calm baby overall, although he eats constantly. He seems to be a great sleeper too...Jack was getting up more times a night than he was.
Sam is getting big too. He likes to rough house and play spinning games with his mom. Jack had no trouble joining in with this game!
We took several trips to the park to play and all the boys had fun.
The boys mostly played by themselves, but a few times they joined in to play with each other. Jack picked up Sam's name really quickly, but he wouldn't say Tommy, just "baby."
Jack really liked the baby and liked to be near him all the time. He was good at being gentle and just patted him on the head.
We did go into Seattle one day. Jack liked to look around and see everything, but ironically his favorite parts of the day were jumping in a puddle on the boardwalk and eating clam chowder at lunch. He liked the clam chowder so much, he licked the bowl clean, literally.
He loved all the planes, trains, busses, and "tractors" that he saw along the way, and I was really proud of the way he behaved. He handled traveling really well. We came home Tuesday, and then Wednesday his pacifiers disappeared. We've gone cold turkey. He's handling it well most of the day, but nap and bed times are a little rough.
Sounds like Jack wants to be a great cousin to Tommy. Oh - cannot believe they really did put in the Ferris Wheel! yuck! Had clam chowder at Ivar's while watching them pull up the old pilings to make the footing for it.
