Of course, Jack also adores Luke and Nina's attention. In fact, I had to smile last night during his tubby time when his siblings asked if they could help wash his hair and back. Without any trouble at all, Jack pulled himslef up on his chubby legs to stand, holding onto the edge, to get closer to his brother and sister. As his healthy, happy face rounded in open-mouth delight, I thought back to what a skinny, little peanut Jack was when Luke bathed him for the first time. Where does the time go?
Over the past two months, time seems to have flown. we have had so many concerns, appointments, activities and "urgent" things happen that I almost feel like I missed how Jack went from being a ten month old, who was just learning to pull to standing to being a one-year-old who he has advanced manifold in both confidence and personality in what seems like a blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Jack has begun to show himself as a bit of the "climber" at times, a problem solver at other times and a delight at all times. Truly, when he is not content with a "straight mouth" faced (as Luke has termed Jack's pensive, observant look), Jack bubbles with beautiful smiles. Indeed, his delight in the world can be contagious.
Oh, that we may all see the world through an eager, healthy, happy, curious and peaceful one-year-old's eyes.
We so love our blue-eyed bubbly boy and celebrate the blessing of our first year with him today.
