Getting Creative

Jack and I have started going to Stroller Strides workout groups a few days a week. It has been a great opportunity to meet some people, get out of the house for a workout, and an opportunity to socialize Jack a little bit. He's so outgoing that it's a great chance to foster that baby extroversion :). I just wanted to share this cute picture of Jack playing with his little friend Jacob. Jack doesn't have great play etiquette seeing as he hit his friend in the face with a ball one or two times, but it's all in good fun!
Later that day I was looking for a way to keep our busy beaver occupied. I decided that we would make a homemade fort since Jack has an adventurous spirit. One of the side supports was his old swing. He doesn't want to lay in it anymore, and he's too big anyway, but he loves to stand on it.

He moved on from the swing to tunneling through our coffee table as usual.

I put the blanket on the coffee table, swing, and chair and let him crawl through. He had a great time in his little fort while simultaneously stealing Izzy's bone.

Later that evening when Jonathan got home, he made Jack a fort and obstacle course out of the couch pillows. He changed it into different configurations so that Jack could crawl over them and stand up using them as support.

Jack concluded playtime last night by climbing all 16 stairs up to our bedroom. After such a fun day, it ended great with Jack falling asleep as soon as I set him in his crib. He postured like he was going to cry when I was carrying him over, but once I set him down he rolled onto his belly and passed out!
