happy 4th of july!

well, as of this post, it's actually july 6th, but close enough. i decided to take the past week off of work and we had a great "vacation." we all headed up to connecticut last weekend for a visit with nana and aunt maureen and uncle josh were also there. we just missed pop-pop by a couple of days, hopefully we'll get to see him soon though! on the way back from CT we stopped off to meet patrick leone and then spent the rest of the weekend relaxing at home (4th of july parade, some swimming in the kiddie pool and lots of running!).

in the new "skills" category, jack continues to improve using his fork and spoon at meals. less food ends up on the floor and more in his mouth and recently he's started trying to jump and also takes a few swings at the ball when daddy "pitches" to him - maybe it's not wishful thinking to hope for a future major leaguer?!

here's some photos and video from the past week, enjoy.
