Our toddler is toddling

There is just something about a toddling toddler learning to walk.  Until earlier this week Jack still preferred crawling and would only take a couple of steps at a time.  Now he's walking all over the place.  It's so cute (and nerve-racking) to watch.  His booty has got to be sore from falling on it all the time and I keep saying we need to get him wristgaurds from how much he catches himself in front.

Here's a video from yesterday...he even golfs & walks.

We are loving Nashville so far & it's great to explore a new city, new restaurants, & new experiences.

We had some work done on the house that looks great and I can't wait to share pictures.  We've been to the Franklin Farmer's Market, storytime at the downtown library, lots of Gymboree classes, the Nashville zoo, and we finally had Jack's 1 year pictures taken & family pictures.  We did a lot of cheering for the USA, too!

USA, USA...

Jack and I (and tyler when he's not working) have also ventured up to Ellington Ag Center right here in the Crieve Hall neighborhood.  It is a gorgeous area (where we took our family pics) & has horse stables where the Nashville police horses stay. 

Oh...and then there was the day when Tyler's car wouldn't start at 6:30 in the morning so we had to grab Jack out of bed to take him to the hospital & after I picked him up later in the day we got in a wreck on the way home...the poor tahoe.  It was not our fault so no expense there, but a lot of inconvinience.  Jack was in the back seat (we still have him facing backwards thank goodness!) & he didn't make a peep.  The other guy's car had to be towed away.

In more news, Jack has been exploring and finding new favorite things to do around the house.  Whenever it gets quiet I know something's going on. 

Mother of the year, right here when I found this scene....

He was putting the trash into the toilet & then taking it out...normally the toilets are ALWAYS shut

His new favorite way to eat

He loves to climb back and forth over Jake now

Jack loves exploring the cabinets & found my wooden salad bowls.  Tyler was asleep & I came into the room to find this.  He was just lining them up and then stacking them over and over.
