The Firsts Thanksgiving

This was Jack's first Thanksgiving and it was filled with tons of firsts for the little man.

First Flight

Jack took to the skies to go to Houston to visit Nana and Pop Pop. He was amazing on the flight. On the way there, he slept for the first half of the flight and then just hung out and smiled and looked around the second half. And on the way home, he slept the whole flight and woke up in a great mood. We got compliments from several passengers on how great he was and, of course, how cute he is.

First Real Playtime with the Cousins

Last time Jack got together with Savannah and Cami, he was too little to really play with them. Now he enjoyed laughing at them and pulling their hair and even participating in a rousing game of hide and seek (if you're hiding with Jack, it's pretty much a given you'll be found first. He hasn't learned the art of being quiet quite yet). And they loved playing with him too. When we were leaving, Cami said that she didn't want him to leave because when she saw him next "he wouldn't be cute anymore." That cracked me up. (And he missed cousin Eli!!)

First Deep Fried Turkey

While Jack didn't actually sample the turkey, he enjoyed watching Pop Pop make it, as you can tell by the focused look on both his and his dad's faces.

First Time Away from Mommy for the Afternoon

The two of us tend to be attached all the time and haven't spent more than an hour apart. But Mommy went to see New Moon and Jack stayed home and hung out with the guys. And he didn't seem to have missed Mom all that much. When I got home, he was too busy trying to grab a blanket and put it in his mouth to actually say hello. I think Mommy missed Baby more than he missed her.

First Time Enjoying the Texas Sunset

First Time Fishing

Well, Jack didn't actually fish. But his daddy did a lot of fishing and even caught a fish that was about 30 inches long. If you were wondering where Dallin was during the bulk of our trip, you can tell by that first picture. Jack liked watching though and enjoyed hanging out with Nana. I've never heard him laugh as much as he does when he's with her. Nana is hilarious!

First Cold

All of Jack's travels left him with this unfortunate first. He's had a runny nose and a little cough the last couple of days. But he doesn't act like he's too upset. I think the fun he had made the cold worth it.

First BYU-Utah Football Game

Jack watched his first rivalry game and was happy with the results, although he did get upset when everyone started screaming when BYU scored a touchdown in overtime.
