Jack's Visit with Grandad

My dad, David, came up to visit over the weekend, it was great to see him and I know that he really enjoyed seeing Jack. With Pete working most of the weekends now, it had been almost two months since the last time we were able to get to Mississippi to visit. It took Jack a little time to warm back up to dad, spending most of the first few hours just staring at him, almost like he was studying him, but once he warmed up it was all smiles and giggles from there.

During most of his visit we were sprawled out on the play mat and as I mentioned before, Jack is very close to crawling, so most of the evening was spent working on his technique. He is able to get on his hands and knees now and scoot his little knees towards his hands but he hasn't quite gotten the movement of the hands yet, which leaves him doing this cute little move that Pete and I call the "Humpty Dance." This move consists of what looks like Jack revving up to crawl, but never actually crawling. Anyway, Jack was just adamant that he would spend all of his time doing that while Grandad was here and Grandad even attempted to teach Jack to crawl before he left, but Jack wasn't quite ready. Soon though, and it's all down hill from there!
