Happy Birthday Jack

It's been 12 wonderful months since that blessed day Jack joined the Gochnour family. Jack has brought so much joy into our life and we are so blessed to have him.



A little bit about our little Jack:
1) Yesterday Jack walked all the way across the living room and acted like it was no big deal
2) He knows the sign language to: milk, please, more, all done, and eat. His passion... FOOD!
3) Melts mommy and daddy's heart every single day
4) Sucessfully can make a mess out of anything and everything
5) He gives lots of hugs and kisses (especially to other baby girls)
6) Can go up and down the stairs NO PROBLEM!
7) Loves to put on any shoes he can find... all by himself
8) His favorite foods are: chicken, fruit of any kind, and mommy's milk
9) His "new" middle name is TROUBLE!
10) Loves to Dance to: a)Lullabys (trying to get him to sleep), b) as soon as the organ starts playing in church, c) to any song on the radio. I'm not sure where he gets his dancin skills!
11) Says "momma" all the time
12) Loves to play with other kids. Very social little guy.
13) LOVES to play with Daddy. As soon as Jack hears his Scooter pull up, he hurries over the the door to greet Daddy with a big smile.
14) When he was 3 weeks old, he had been in 3 states: Arizona, Idaho, Utah.
15) When he was 5 months old, he had been in 5 contries: America, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic (And he has a very cute Passport Photo, 6 weeks old)
16) By the time he turned ONE, he had been to 21 states plus the District of Columbia. He's quite the little traveler!
17)He's just so dang cute.
We love our Jack and all the adventures he brings every day.

I am still very sick! Dr. said it was the flu, although he did find some fluid in my right lung. He doesn't think it's Pneumonia and assumes I'll be over it sooner rather than later. Lets hope so becuase I sure am ready to be better. Anyway, as soon as I'm feeling better we'll be able to give him a well deserved Birthday Party! Until that time, Happy Birthday Jack! We love you so much.

Jack is so darling! Maybe we will go to law school over on the east coast too! That would be so fun. It looks like you had a blast in New York! Hope you are getting better Melanie. Maybe we will see you guys in AZ this Christmas :)

Hey Melanie, it's Korbi from John's High School days. I am so happy to see your blog! I must say, I always thought that my Baby Beck (well Toddler now) was the cutest thing on the face of the earth and although he still is, I do believe that he will have some competition with the ladies now that I have seen so many great pictures of this Mr Jack Truman! Watch out Burley! I love this blogging thing, we get to show off our cute kids and families and check out everyone else too. Have fun over there on the East coast and keep up the good mommy work. (I just got over the flu too! Everytime I get it, it feels like I am going to die, so best wishes!)

Glad to see you guys are doing well. I can't believe that Jack is a year old. It sounds like he and I share a passion for food. He looks a great deal like is parents (especially John from my vantage point) Anyway, we always read your blog, thanks for keeping us up to date. Miss you guys, Logan
