Little Jack

My First Halloween

(Voiced by 5 month old Jack-Evan, typed by Mommy)

Once upon a time, I went trick or treating with my mom and dad.

I was a lion, Dad was a yankee farmer, and mom was a southern country girl.

Since I can’t eat candy yet…

…my Grammy gave me some baby food in my goodie bag!

Next we treated my Abuella [...]

I Went to the Park Just the Other Day

(Voiced by 5 month old Jack-Evan, typed by Mommy)

I went to the park just the other day

To swing on the swings

And watch Daddy play

I laid in the grass

And watched an ant pass

When I went to the park just the other day

I slid down the slides

And played at the end

Then swung from the bars

And caught up with my [...]

Happy Birthday to My Friend Tyler

(Voiced by 5 month old Jack-Evan, typed by Mommy)

Once upon a time, I went to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.

We sang some songs….

Played some games…

I even gave my friend a new toy.

I can’t wait until I have my 1st birthday, because mommy will [...]

We’ve Got to Save the Honey Bees

Hello.  Jack-Evan here with an urgent message.

In my quest to save the ducks,
I have stumbled upon an even more important mission.

they lead a very hard life behind a small piece of glass,
slaving [...]

Oh be careful little mouth!

(Voiced by 5 month old Jack-Evan, typed by Mommy)

Mommy told me I should not be eating my toes.

She says although most humans have their foot
in their mouths during adulthood,
she doesn’t want me starting this early.

That Very Fair is Very Unfair

(Voiced by 5 month old Jack-Evan, Typed by Mommy)

Once upon a time, I went to the fair.

I was immediately taken aback at how foreign everything looked.
This place is definitely very different from my home.

Since my mommy and daddy are now old,
they claim that they can’t ride the rides anymore.
I asked them if I could ride.  [...]

Anniversary at the Park

(Voiced by 5 month old Jack-Evan, Typed by Mommy)

It all started innocently enough.

It was the same park I went to a few months ago, but this time we were going to have a picnic!  It was the 3rd anniversary [...]

The Queen (Ant) and I

(Voiced by 5 month old Jack-Evan, Typed by Mommy)

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Who would have thought I would encounter royalty so close to home?

You see, I was playing on my blankie and asked Mommy to join me.

I also asked a passing Ant to be my friend.  She said she was the Queen.

I [...]

Attack of the Killer Spider!

(Voiced by 4 month old Jack-Evan, Typed by Mommy)
 

Today we went to the river.

…or..at least, that’s what Dad said it was.

It was a bit chilly, so I held onto my Pooh bear to keep him warm.

Mommy didn’t have a Pooh bear, so she held onto Daddy.

As we were strolling down the pathway, beside the river, [...]

The First Real Meal Deal

(Voiced by 4 mo. old Jack-Evan….typed by Mommy)

Uh… Mom… What in the world is THAT??  It has little lumps in it.
“Son, that is called organic rice cereal.  
Now that you’re growing up, you get to eat some!” says mommy.

Ok.  You say I have to eat it?  Let’s go.  I’m ready to do this thang!

“Don’t worry, son, it [...]

Jack Meet’s His “Twin”

Hey mommy!  Are you going to play with me?

“Well, Jack,” says mom, “I think there’s someone you should meet first. 
Turn over and look behind you…”

Whoa!  Who are you??

Wait, what do you mean your name is Jack-Evan TOO???  How is that possible?

Mommy, is that really possible?  I thought I was the only Jack-Evan.

I dunno, maybe I’ll [...]

My First Trip to the Beach

 
Here we go!  We’re leaving for the beach.  Mommy says I’ll have fun.
 
After mommy dresses me, I play with my cousin Jeana for a while.
Then we head out to see this thing they call the ocean.

 
Mommy, why do I taste salt on my fingers?
 
Lil’ Robbie, do you taste salt??   …….I still taste salt.  Strange…
 
(Those big [...]

Whoohoo! My First Swim!

(Voiced by 8 week old Jack-Evan…typed by Mommy)
 

I wonder if mommy realizes she forgot my shirt?  I’ve never worn these pants before.

Swimming? hahaha.. you guys are so silly, mommy and daddy.
We’re going swimming!  Yay!

Wait a minute, mommy…What’s swimming?
What do you mean my diaper is going to get wetter??
(I’m not so sure I want anything to [...]

My First Trip to the Park

(voiced by 7 week old Jack-Evan…typed by Mommy)

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Hurray!  It’s baseball season for our local team!
 Since my daddy is crazy about sports, what better way to
celebrate his 25th birthday than to go to one of the first games of the summer season? 

It was my first sports event and dad was so proud.
“Wake up boy..” he would say when he caught me snoozin’ through [...]

Aunt Prissy Mae

Sherman the Turtle

Sherman is a red-eared slider that my mommy got in China Town when she was on her senior high school trip in New York!    He was only as big as a quarter then, but now he is huge.  He lives in a nice pond that my Grandfather Jack built for him at their house.  Turtles [...]

Papa Jack and Grammy Cill

I love my Grammy and Papa!  Their names are Priscilla (Cill) and Jack and they are my mommy’s parents.  They live about a mile from us and we see them every day.  Grammy grew up in Winnsboro, but Grandfather grew up right here in Columbia.  In fact, we live on the same road that he [...]

My Nursery Theme - Winnie the Pooh

Mommy is really silly.  Really.  All her life she wanted to have her first nursery decorated in Classic Winnie-the-Pooh decor, kinda like the picture here.  And sure enough, here I am, awaiting placement in a fluffy Pooh Bear room.   I would much rather have decorated in sports or a more boyish theme…but don’t tell mommy [...]
