Jacks

Fumble!

2011-02-18T22:03:00.001-05:00

The Super Bowl may be over, but Jacks is still really into football...

Smile Jacks...

2011-02-10T21:48:00.007-05:00

Here is a little video from this week. Auntie Em has been helping out with the last week of tonsil & adenoid removal recovery. Don't let the video fool you, Jacks has had a blast with lots of playtime, laughs, popsicles, and only 1 frown.

Toe Jam

2010-12-27T13:40:00.003-05:00

For some reson, Jacks has become really mesmerized by toe jam over the past couple of weeks...

Merry Christmas!

2010-12-25T12:40:00.006-05:00

Merry Christmas everyone!

We're sorry that nobody has gotten Christmas cards from us this year. We ordered some cards online and they showed up two weeks ago with another family's picture! The company promised quick replacements, but they still haven't shown up.

Anyway, Jacks had a big Christmas morning opening Santa's gifts. He was actually speechless (for once) when he saw all of the gifts under the tree. I think his favorites are a Thomas the Train Power Wheels and a remote control truck.

Go Wolfpack!

2010-11-20T15:43:00.001-05:00

Jacks pulled the Pack through! Go Pack Go!

Go Pack Go!

2010-11-20T10:25:00.004-05:00

NC State is playing UNC this afternoon. Jacks is getting fired up for the game!! Go Pack!

The great escape

2010-10-24T22:10:00.003-04:00

So, Jacks has figured out how to escape his crib. Joanna had just laid him down for his afternoon nap when we heard a big thud. She ran back into his room and he was sitting on the floor. We have a thick blanket on the floor now for padding, in case he decides to have a repeat performance tonight Looks like we may be moving to a toddler bed soon...

First Haircut

2010-10-19T18:40:00.000-04:00

So, Jacks finally got his first haircut this past weekend. I've been trying to talk Joanna into cutting his afro/mullet for a while, but she couldn't stand to cut his curls. Anyway, she finally agreed and we went to get a haircut. Jacks was really pretty good sitting in my lap while the lady cut his hair

BEFORE:

(Jacks was sporting a huge shampoo mohawk)

DURING:

AFTER:

(no more mohawk!)

NC State Tailgating

2010-10-17T19:25:00.003-04:00

We made it down to Raleigh a couple of weeks ago for the NC State vs. Virginia Tech game. Too bad the game didn't end differently, but we all had a lot of fun tailgating and Jacks really enjoyed the crowd and the game too!

Lazy Evening

2010-09-12T20:36:00.003-04:00

It rained all day today, but we had a fun evening. Joanna and Jacks danced for a while, then we had to make obligatory shampoo mohawks in the bathtub.

the hamburglar

2010-08-23T19:20:00.004-04:00

Craig cooked hamburgers this weekend and guess who enjoyed them the most?.?

Do you want to be a Tarheel??

2010-07-17T14:40:00.004-04:00

We had a big storm roll through last night, so we pulled out the video camera while we were all stuck inside. Jacks is very smart for an 18 month old...already able to answer simple yes/no questions correctly (granted, it is a very easy question):

After the rain stopped, we had to go out and splash in the puddles.

Week in Corolla - Part 3

2010-07-16T21:45:00.005-04:00

OK, here is the last of our posts from Corolla...it only took us 2 weeks for us to get around to posting it all...

Just a few random pictures from the week:

Sharkfest

2010-07-12T20:15:00.000-04:00

This past weekend we went to Sharkfest at the Calvert Marine Museum (along with the rest of Southern MD!). Jacks enjoyed the turtles, blue crabs, and touching sharks. After a long wait in line to touch the sharks, Jacks had a case of the giggles on the way home. Thankfully we got home before he passed out for his afternoon nap.

Week in Corolla - Part 2

2010-07-11T22:30:00.000-04:00

Here are a couple of videos from the beach last week. Jacks really loved the beach...it was flat and smooth so he could just run non-stop.

Suprisingly, Jacks wasn't afraid of the surf at all. He loved splashing his feet in each wave that came up.

And of course, we had to break out the bubbles for him one afternoon.

Week in Corolla

2010-07-07T18:14:00.000-04:00

Here is the first of a couple of posts from our week in Corolla with my family. We'll make more posts later.

Here is Jacks discovering sand fiddlers and playing in the living room with his Great Aunt Sister.

Weekend in Oriental

2010-07-06T20:22:00.003-04:00

Wow, I can't beleive it has been nearly a month since our last post...Sorry about that. We will definitely try to make it up over the next couple of days. We have had a great week and a half between Oriental and Corolla, NC. It was tough going back to work today!

Two weekends ago, we were in Oriental for the wedding of one of Joanna's friends, Jennifer Delamar. Jacks stayed with the Caroon's during the wedding, and had a great time playing with Clay, Christy, Cole, Mason and the "doggie" Blue.

A few random pictures

2010-06-13T21:42:00.002-04:00

Here are a few random pics from this weekend. Jacks got into the roll of toilet paper. We had fun watching cartoons this morning, but then Jacks realized we had the camera out and wanted to get his hands on it...

The Zoo

2010-06-07T19:50:00.002-04:00

Over the weekend we enjoyed a fun (but hot!) trip to the National Zoo with Craig's cousin Aaron who was in town.

Bald Head Island, NC

2010-06-06T20:39:00.003-04:00

While it has been a few weeks ago, we still wanted to post a few beach pics from our May trip to BHI, NC. Jacks loves the beach just like his Mommy!

Fun weekend

2010-05-31T21:14:00.002-04:00

Jacks is very proud to be using his new plate and Lizzy knows to wait patiently for a few treats. A couple of other pics from this weekend, and check back later this week for a posting from our trip to Bald Head Island and Bath!

Sunday Conversation

2010-05-03T22:17:00.001-04:00

Jacks has become quite talkative lately. We just wish we had some idea of what he is saying. We happened to have the video camera in the car on Sunday and we wanted to share one of Jacks's stories. If you have a translation, please let us know.

Climber

2010-05-02T22:08:00.002-04:00

Jacks is definitely a climber! He can get up on the couch without any help, especially when there is something up there that he wants! He tries to climb on pretty much anything he can reach. (Joanna said that I have to take responsibility for his pajama "outfit" this morning. --Craig)

Pics from this past weekend

2010-04-27T21:30:00.002-04:00

Weekend trip to the Bay and playground!

Jacks loves my big green watering can and grabs it every time we go outside to play. We'll see how the strawberries like the front porch. Given that Jacks yanked off our first sign of a berry last night, I'm thinking we'll still be purchasing berries at the grocery store this summer.

2010-04-23T06:34:00.000-04:00

A few pics from Easter weekend. We'll post more Spring pics soon!

Jacks is on the move!

2010-03-06T11:03:00.002-05:00

More Snow Days

2010-02-19T22:08:00.004-05:00

The snow is really melting fast now; we can even see the grass starting to peek through in a couple of places in our front yard. It is pretty different from what our yard looked like last weekend:

But, the neighbors still have plenty of snow in their front yard and we all went sledding this afternoon.

Another round of snow pics

2010-02-08T06:17:00.001-05:00

Here are some pictures from the weekend snow storm. Jacks and Lizzy kept watch during the blizzard. Jacks pounded on the window saying "da-ga" & "da-da" a few times looking for Craig who is in Phoenix :(

On Saturday Jacks got an early Valentine's present since we had so much time inside to play! First he found his brand new box, then he found the real prize!

Enjoying the snow!

More Snow Pics

2010-01-31T15:34:00.003-05:00

Let it Snow!

2010-01-30T21:48:00.003-05:00

The weather man said we were going to get 2 to 4 inches...I'd say he missed that one:

We ended up with around a foot, and the family suited up and went sledding.

Birthday Cupcakes

2010-01-09T18:27:00.003-05:00

Joanna made Jacks some cupcakes with blue and red icing for his birthday....Jacks quickly turned it to purple. For Round 2, we added some strawberries.

Happy Birthday Jacks!!

2010-01-08T17:34:00.002-05:00

Today is Jacks's first birthday! The time has flown by for Joanna and I. We got Jacks a walker wagon for his birthday and he has been walking (or running) around the house with it today. We will post some pictures of his birthday cupcake tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

2009-12-31T16:38:00.002-05:00

Jacks got lots of toys for Christmas (he was a good boy), but all he wanted to play with tonight was the box of Kleenex.

Happy New Year to everybody!!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-24T23:05:00.002-05:00

Let it Snow!

2009-12-19T14:14:00.003-05:00

The snow is really coming down now! They are calling for an additional 8-16" today and tonight. Jacks was excited looking through the back door at all of the snow, so the whole family (including Lizzy) went out to play a little while ago.

Ho, Ho, Ho!!

2009-12-19T09:25:00.004-05:00

Santa came last night for Jacks! His big present was an inflatable ball pit, but Jacks seems to be pretty entertained by the empty wrapping paper roll that Santa left for him as well. We had about 8" of snow on the ground as of 8:30 this morning, with more expected throughout the day. (They even said we had the possibility of some thundersnow, which would be pretty neat to see!)

Late November

2009-12-13T15:25:00.006-05:00

Jacks was getting a little tired of having his picture taken....

Trip to Raleigh

2009-11-24T22:11:00.002-05:00

A couple of weeks back we were in Raleigh celebrating Mama Kate's 90th birthday. A few more pictures included from staying at Auntie Em's and going to the N.C. State football game.

Busy boy

2009-11-22T21:20:00.003-05:00

Jacks is very busy pulling up on everything these days. Oh and yes, he is still chewing on anything within reach, which now includes the bar stools. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Toy Boat

2009-11-03T21:21:00.001-05:00

Jacks and Craig played in his "toy boat" over the weekend. When he was tiny, he'd take long naps in his Moses basket. Too bad I didn't record the giggling from the last pic below - Jacks and Craig are in the basket...

Oyster Festival

2009-11-02T21:54:00.000-05:00

Sorry this post is so late...we've had our hands full getting rid of the flu bug. My family came up a couple of weeks ago and we all went out to the Oyster Festival...Home of the U.S. Oyster Shucking Championship. Even though it was rainy, dad and I entered the amateur shucking competition.

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-01T14:42:00.003-05:00

Jacks is feeling much better now, and he enjoyed his first Halloween.

"Tough Cookie"

2009-10-26T20:36:00.004-04:00

That's what the pediatrician said about Jacks today. He had his finger pricked, nose swabbed, and of course the normal poking around the throat, ears, etc. Jacks tested positive for the flu. These pictures are from Sunday - we had a lazy day and he watched some football with Craig. While he smiles for the camera, you can see he is a little off his game. We'll make a post from the Oyster Festival soon!

Pumpkin Patch and Leaves

2009-10-13T20:41:00.002-04:00

New Toys??

2009-10-07T17:44:00.000-04:00

Jacks has plenty of toys, but he is perfectly content with a plastic cup, a tupperware bowl and a cardboard box...go figure.

New Nap Position

2009-10-05T16:30:00.000-04:00

I went up to check on Jacks while he was taking his nap over the weekend and found him like this...It doesn't look very comfortable to me, but he was sound asleep!

Weekend Pics

2009-10-04T17:33:00.003-04:00

Jacks has been crawling around exploring the house, so we are having to keep everything up out of his reach (which is only about 1 foot right now). The weather was really great this weekend and Jacks got to play outside some this afternoon.

More Random Pics

2009-09-29T20:29:00.001-04:00

Here are some more random pictures from this past week...

The County Fair

2009-09-27T20:15:00.004-04:00

We took Jacks to his first St. Mary's County Fair today. Along with our neighbors, we decided to have a little fun this year and enter some things in the competitions. Here are some of our results...A picture of Jacks didn't win anything in the photo contest, but we took first prize for our magnolia clipping and our hosta leaf. Joanna's apple dumplings placed third (no picture for that one) but we didn't see first or second...so I think she got third place out of one entry.

We also took a trip through the livestock exhibits. Jacks was pretty interested in the horses, but wasn't a big fan of the cows.

World Famous

2009-09-23T21:29:00.000-04:00

Jacks has fans all over the world! Here are two maps that mark the location of all of the visits to our website. (click for a larger view)

Scootching

2009-09-21T20:14:00.003-04:00

Here is a video of Jacks "scootching" across the floor to get to his Jack-in-the-box.

Jump Around

2009-09-02T20:57:00.003-04:00

Jacks is getting a workout in his new jumping toy.

(Auntie Em made a video just like this last week, but we couldn't post it...so we re-filmed it so everyone could enjoy!)

Pee-Pie

2009-08-26T21:46:00.003-04:00

Here's a video of Jacks and I playing Pee-Pie.

Missing Alerts?

2009-08-16T20:54:00.002-04:00

We have had several folks tell us that the automatic email alerts aren't working anymore, but some people say they are working fine. It was a free service, and I guess we are getting what we pay for...

So, I will send out an email whenever we update the blog for those of you whose automatic email isn't working anymore. Just send me an email (craigjprice@gmail.com) and let me know that the automatic email isn't working and I will shoot you a quick note whenever we make a new post.

Thanks,
Craig

Messy Morning

2009-08-16T20:43:00.003-04:00

Jackson hasn't quite mastered feeding himself yet...

A few fun shots from the weekend...

More Pics from the Beach!

Back from the Beach

2009-08-01T13:10:00.003-04:00

We are back in MD now, after spending last week at the beach with Joanna's family. Here are a couple of quick pics from the last week. We will upload more soon.

-Craig

Take me out to the ball game...

2009-07-22T20:02:00.004-04:00

Jacks went to his first baseball game last week while my parents were in town. We went to the minor league Maryland Blue Crabs, and Jacks had to get a souvenir.

Teeth!

2009-07-22T19:01:00.002-04:00

The last post said tooth, and this one says teeth...Jacks has his bottom front two teeth now!

6 months old!

2009-07-08T15:30:00.003-04:00

Happy 4th!

2009-07-05T10:15:00.004-04:00

We went out on Base last night to watch Solomons Island's fireworks over the river. Jacks fell asleep before they were over, but we got some cool shots through the boat masts at the marina.

First Tooth!

2009-07-01T19:56:00.002-04:00

We felt Jacks's first tooth tonight!! We can just feel a little sharp corner of his bottom left tooth through his gum. Once it pokes through good, we will post some pics.

Fun in the highchair!

2009-06-19T10:22:00.002-04:00

Jacks was a little under the weather recently, so that's why his eyes are pink. Thankfully he's all better now!

Bath Time

2009-06-12T07:16:00.003-04:00

We had to move Jacks's bathtub from the kitchen sink to our bath tub. We were having to mop up after every bath... (this video is actually pretty tame compared to how much he usually kicks)

New Sounds

2009-06-07T09:49:00.004-04:00

Jacks is busy discovering his vocal cords...

(the videos are about 40 seconds each, so give them a minute or two to load)

HHI, Oriental, Bath, and Lake Gaston

2009-05-26T07:58:00.009-04:00

Jacks has been busy over the past few weeks! He took his first trip to Hilton Head Island, SC.

After HHI, Jacks made his first visit to Oriental, NC. He spent the week meeting lots of new friends, helping in the garden and riding in his new wagon.

Then we celebrated Granny's 89th birthday in Bath, NC!

And we finished our big trip with a stop at the lake.

2009-05-04T18:35:00.005-04:00

Jacks has started gnawing on everything. Looks like he might be a fan of donuts, just like his Mom!

Taking an afternoon snooze.

March started with 10 inches of snow for us! Since Lizzy is a Texas girl, she wasn't sure what to do with the snow. Craig was traveling and missed playing in the snow with us. Great Granny and Papa Reg came for a visit after the snow stopped falling. More March pictures to come soon!

Bath Time

2009-02-16T11:31:00.003-05:00

Jackson's cord finally fell off late last week so we were able to give him his first real bath, instead of just wiping him down like we did before.

A few more pics...

First outing to the Chesapeake Bay (it was very windy, so Jacks is hiding in the Baby Bjorn).
So much excitement that Jacks slept on the way back home and later in the evening with Daddy.

A blueberry muffin to celebrate my 1 month birthday!

One Week In...

2009-01-16T19:53:00.004-05:00

Well, we have made it a week. I only went through one set of batteries for the camera!

Night Owl

2009-01-13T07:37:00.003-05:00

Mama Di and Papa Reg found this very appropriate onsie for Jackson yesterday...this picture was taken at 4:30 this morning. He seems to be getting better every night, but he is pretty much nocturnal right now.

Homecoming

2009-01-11T19:00:00.006-05:00

Joanna and Jackson came home on Saturday, Jan. 10. We still aren't sure if we are going to call him Jackson, Jack or Jacks.
(Like before, click the pictures to get a larger version)

Leaving the hospital.

Lizzy isn't really sure what to think.

The proud grandparents.

Jackson William Price

2009-01-09T17:02:00.006-05:00

Jackson was born Jan 8, 2009 at 6:58 PM. He was 6 lbs., 1 oz. and 20" long.

New Mobile

2009-01-05T20:40:00.003-05:00

We hung the mobile that Auntie Em gave us for Christmas! It is just like the one that Joanna had when she was a baby.

The countdown is getting close to single digits now! We all can't wait until he can come out and play. ;-)

Oh Christmas Tree...

2008-12-13T17:03:00.003-05:00

Joanna (with the help of Lizzy) finished up the Christmas Tree this afternoon.

2008-12-02T20:24:00.004-05:00

Today we had another sneak peek at Baby Price. Check out his little foot and face.
