What's Up with Jack?

Jack's current hobbies:
Hair pulling - Beware!  If he can get a good enough handful, he'll see if he can pull it all the way to his mouth.
Chewing on his hands. 
Making precious baby babble - I love it!
Eating faces - He leans in with open mouth and takes a big gummy bite of the cheekbone, chin or nose of whoever is holding him.
Playing in his Baby Einstein activity center (Thanks Asher for sharing it!) - He especially likes the parts he can chew on.   
Eating sweet potatoes and applesauce -  Squash-not so much.
Playing drums with his Daddy -  His favorite part is putting the drumsticks in his mouth. 
Going for walks in his jogging stroller - Notice I say walks, not a lot of jogging is really going on.
Doing Pilates - Seriously, he has abs of steel because everytime I lay him down he crunches up his head and lifts his feet off the ground about an inch.  I tell him to just relax, but apparently physical fitness is very important to him.

Jack's new music preferences:
Where's the Music?, MMW - MMW is Bryce's favorite Jazz band.  They just happened to put out a children's CD a few years ago and it's great.  Fun, irreverent songs paired with really great music.  Jack's favorite is 'Where's the music?'  He and Bryce love to shake the maracas as they listen to it. 
Flying, The Beatles - It has a proven record of soothin our unhappy little car passenger. 
Hand Clappin' Song, The Meters - Jack loves hand clapping.  So of course, this is one of his faves.
Yellow Submarine, The Beatles - This is just a great song for kids.  It makes Jack smile when we all sing along.
Baby 'Music' performed by a number of Jack's favorite toys  - Whether it's Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star played from his Baby Papasan or lullabyes playing from his mobile or favorite teddy bear, Jack loves those high pitched ringing tunes. 

He's developing into such a little boy right before our eyes.  He gets more and more fun each day!!
