organized chaos

We’re getting ready to celebrate Jackelope’s 6th birthday around here, so I thought I would post a little photo montage to commemorate the passing of six of the weirdest years of my life.

Jackelope came into this world like a rocket, literally.  The doctor almost didn’t get there in time to catch him.  He’s been a little haphazard ever since.

He’s the only one of my gremlins (so far) that lost all of his hair.  I’m astonished at how much Socrates used to cuddle Jackelope. Those days are most certainly gone.

Then like a good little Chia pet, the hair grew right back.  Jackelope spent the first two years of his life smiling at everyone and sleeping whenever I wanted him to.

He ate a lot of bananas, so we made him get a job early on. 

All those bananas eventually took their toll.

He spent most of his time charming the pants off everyone with those hypnotic eyes.

He has his moments of crabbiness sobriety.  Many, many of them.

But after a little time in his cage, all is well again.

My Jackelope came a mere 17 months after Commando Demando and has entertained us ever since.  Although his zany outlook on life is matched only by his potential for being the biggest crab on the face of the earth, we know life holds many adventures for our third born.  Here’s to many more years with the Jackelope.  Happy Birthday!
