Tough Guy

So Grandma Mimi and Auntie Bella watched Jack while I went to a baby shower for a friend and this is what I came home to...Jack's nose all scratched up! This little stinker bumped his nose on the coffee table...they think! Thanks Bella you gave Jack a black eye last week with your snaggle tooth and now his nose!!!;) Good thing Jack is a tough guy so he can keep up with his cousins!

Showing off his charming smile and teeth!
