Next Stop....Whistle City

I woke up Sunday morning when I heard Jack moving around in his crib (I'm convinced that mothers develop Supersonic hearing while pregnant). I stood by the door for a couple of minutes and I heard him whistling. I am so excited that he can whistle already! It took me 18 years to finally whistle, so it's nice to see that he has already surpassed me. He has been whistling ever since Sunday.

We put up a few baby gates around the family room. They worked for a while, but Jack has figured out how to move them now. He puts his fingers through the holes and leans his entire body on the gate until it moves or clicks. I have to admit, it's pretty impressive to watch. He gets a very determined look in his eye.

Aunt Sarah and Cousins Jaimie and Ed are coming to St. Louis today. We are very excited to see everyone. Jack has grown so much since their last visits.

I am looking forward to Jack having his first Thanksgiving meal. He has been eating a large variety of food lately, and is still a very good eater. He is not a chubby baby by any means, so it seems like all of the food that he eats only contributes to his height. Dr. Spewak predicts that he will be "long and lean"...just like Tyson!


We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Eat a lot, drink a lot and laugh a lot!
