Jack Moynihan's Moments

1/2 way to 1

I cannot believe Jack is already 6 months old! He is growing and changing everyday. He is loving his O-Ball, rings and anything that crunches. His ability to hold and grasp is getting better each day. The days of letting him play on the floor without worry of him being able to move are gone. He backs up, lunges forward (sometimes face planting!), and rolls over like a champ. Crawling is definitely on the horizon. Like his mom, he is a chatter box - his squeals and grunts sound like a baby pterodactyl. His palate is more like his dad, already loving his veggies! Jack started with green beans and has moved on to butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and peas. He is still working on coming around on avocados (we are shocked).

Hanging out with Uncle Ryan.

Thinking Uncle Ryan bought this board for him.

Cousin Brenna's was Jack's first wedding.

The crazy Byrnes Clan.

Always a happy guy.

Who knew it takes 3 MBA grads to feed a baby?

1st Family Vacation and Jack Turns 5 Months!

Jack continues to amaze us with his new found abilities, self soothing with his thumb like a pro, eating thicker consistences of oatmeal cereal, sitting up (gorilla style), and making raspberries with extreme enthusiasm.

As many know, we are moving to NYC for Dan's new position at CitiGroup in July. Before we got into the full swing of coordinating another cross country move, we took off to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for some R&R. It was a wonderful trip and Jack was a natural traveler, complete with passport and all.

Nap time done right!

Not too sure about the wet sand...

Loving nude nap time at the pool.

Iguanas were everywhere.

Tasting avocado for the 1st time.

It was just too cute watching Jack nap on the lounge chairs

4 1/2 months has flown by!

I can't believe 4 1/2 months has already come and gone. I am sorry for my delayed post, but Jack has been such a character. I am loving this age! Jack is reaching and grabbing with his hands and feet, rolling over belly to back and back to belly. He now prefers to sleep on his tummy (like his dad), which seems like a giant milestone. Oatmeal cereal has been tried and approved by Jack. Starting on solids has been a bit of an adventure - inevitably half of his meal ends up on his bib! It has been fun watching his reaction eating from a spoon and reaching insistently with his head for more. Here are some shoots we have taken over the last 6 weeks or so.
