When we last left our Superhero, he had run off to Chandler for the day while the nice men at Chas Roberts evaluated the air conditioning system at home. Alas, their news was not pleasant. The compressor was shot, a new system was in order. Unfortunately in the process of trying to fix the compressor they actually did more harm, and for a long three days and two nights we all faced sweltering heat in our little abode.

Friday morning arrived and all was put right with the world. We installed a new air conditioner and now our home is as cool as a meat locker. I can even wear socks to bed.

Jack spent a lot of time with Grandma Gloria and Grandpa Tom – he even spent the night Saturday so Joe and I could escape for a bit. He had a wonderful time and slept like an angel. Of course he was up at five a.m., but what can you do about that? The sun rises at 5:12 right now, meaning it starts to get light around 4:30. I can only hope he will sleep a little later in the summer. I’m going to remind him of this when he’s a teenager and can’t get out of bed before noon.

Today we headed up to Grandma Sandee’s house because she’s been away so much lately she’s been missing her boy. He really likes to play on her Exersaucer – it’s like the one at the gym without all the germs. Here he is contemplating the cow noise:



Just two weeks ago his feet didn’t really touch the ground, now he’s moving around like an old pro. He does get easily distracted by the birds, however:



And here you can see our guy is not the thinnest baby in America:



But enough about that. Here is more important news, at least to Jack. Please let him stand up. It’s really all he wants to do.





Thank you.

Tonight Jack was hoping to see his dad before bedtime, but Joe called to say he wasn’t going to make it. At first he was despondent:



then angry:



But he got over it and happily went to bed.

His top two teeth have started coming in – it appears we will be continuously teething until all 20 arrive. Poor guy.
