historical jack

jack turns 6 months old today. like i haven't said it yet but it's hard to believe how fast it all goes. *sigh* i'm a freak for numbers in birthdays and events. it's spawned from the numbers in my own family: mom's bday - 11/11. sister's bday - 3/3. my bday - 10/10. dad - 8/28. now it's all about birthdays and numbers. funny. lilli's bday is 12/23 - a 23. my mom's passing date is 6/23. my dad passed on 12/7 - pearl harbor and his own sister's birthday. now jack's birthday is july 20th - it's marked as the day we landed on the moon but i'm not in agreement with that event. there's too much proof that shows it was staged during the space race. nevertheless, it marks a historical date in our history. now, today - jack's half year mark is on the inauguration of obama. i'm a conservative cat so i'm not innately drawn to barack. i can't lie - catching the tail end of the event on TV made me joke up a bit. seeing bush depart and the transition finalize marks another term of history-for America and for each of us personally. i am interested to see his character in action though. maybe it is time for the United States to 86 the "put up your dukes" attitude. we are in no doubt in need to be greened. that's inspiring for sure.

anyway, back to jack, he's in the 95th percentile for his height and 77th percintile for his weight. he clocked in 19 pounds even and i think she said 23 3/4" tall. no wonder i can only fit him in 12-18 month old clothes. he's my quarterback jack and i can't possibly love him anymore than i already do! i know daddy dan feels the same.
