I was looking through my old email files today, trying to get our painfully complicated tax receipts organized (not enjoyable), and came across a very, very enjoyable video of Jack's friend Kaia's first birthday party. It's so old now I can hardly imagine that that's what Jack was like just before we left London. He looks so small, and so, well, BALD!!!
Hilariously edited by her daddy, it's worth a watch all the way through. But if you're looking to cut corners and just catch the Jack snippets, start just after the 1 minute mark. You'll catch a brief clip of Jack making his first advances (that day) toward Kaia. Then around the minute and a half mark he makes his true moves, mouth agape. He stares up in horror as if he had just noticed that Kaia's daddy (who I think is a whopping 6'5"!) had spied them, then promptly goes back to gumming at her arm. Stacy (Kaia's mommy) described the incident as Kaia's "first snog." Kaia eventually terminates said snog by whopping Jack on the head several times. I think of it as hugging about the ears with enthusiasm. Here's to hoping Jack learns to control his amorous impulses a little more as a teenager!
Oh, and be sure to keep watching at least for the baby races down the hall of our apartment building. It's a tight one between Kaia and Eliza "The Cheeks" Coles. It's immediately followed by a great clip of Kaia and Eliza trading a toy back and forth. I can just hear Stacy narrating Kaia saying, "I'll take that, thank YOU!"
