You just can’t think of anything to say?
I’ve been in a writing slump this entire summer. I suppose it’s because much of my impulse to “write” is pacified on twitter and facebook. Or it could be due to all of the home upgrade projects we’ve been doing since May. I dunno. But nothing is hitting me.
I’ve thought about just posting updates on Jack-Evan, but who wants to read just plain ol’ updates of someone else’s child? Even if he happens to be the cutest, sweetest, most lovable little man in the world, thankyouverymuch. 
But still, I must have creativity in the things I post. But it’s not happening.
So here I am, just stopping in to say hello to my, oh, say, 3 remaining readers. (Hello!)
Jack-Evan is about to turn 16 months old in a few days. The other day my mom, Aunt Mae, Jack-Evan and I went on a day trip. On the drive back, I remarked to my Aunt that I couldn’t believe a few of my cousins were in upper level high school. I still felt they should be in Junior High or something. In my astonishment, I remarked “Where in the world did the last year of my life go??”
My aunt, without missing a beat, replied “He’s sitting here in the backseat….”
….
Jack-Evan isn’t quite walking yet, but he is standing (hurray!) and taking a few steps once in a while. The doctor says he just needs to get his confidence up. His Papa says that Jack’s just simply figured out that the best way to travel in life is to let everyone else carry you!
He’s also picking up new words and actions each day. The past few weeks, we’ve been working on body parts. ”Belly” is his favorite, and if you ask him where someone’s belly is he tries to raise their shirt to show you. The only embarrassing part is when he decides that he wants to point out “boobie” instead and raises the shirt too high. Jack & his daddy have also been working on showing their happiness with a drink. After taking a sip from any drink, Jack-Evan will pull away, open his mouth, and go “Ahhhhhhh” in whispery delight. He even does it after nursing. The first time he did it after nursing, I almost dropped him because I was laughing so hard.
Ohhh the delights of motherhood, right?!
