Jack Facts

I haven't given many Jack facts lately, so here's an update.

He has several words now:  car, ball, go (which is usually go-go), cracker, duck, Momma, more, ba (bottle), bear, and bye.  At least that's what we can decipher.  I'm sure he's telling us way more.  

At his one-year appointment, he weighed 22 lbs and was 31 inches tall.  This places him in the 50th percentile for weight and somewhere between 75-90th percentile (there's a range at this point for some reason) for height.

When trying on new shorts the other day, he took 3 steps and the size 12-18 month ones FELL OFF!!  The 3-6 month shorts STILL FIT!!  He has such a tiny hiney!

Maybe this is why he's so slim??
He loooves to feed Naya some of his food!

He's getting a little more picky with food, but overall is still a pretty good eater.

Ravioli Night

He started Mothers Day Out (MDO) this past week.  He goes two 1/2 days (thanks to the super nice ladies there) instead of one full day.  Our hope is that he'll adjust more quickly and get over the separation anxiety faster.  He made it about 2 hours the first day and even played with the other kids some.  The second day, he cried when I dropped him off, but ended up playing some, took a nap and was happily eating lunch with the other kids when I picked him up!!!  I was shocked!!

He's figuring out toys fairly quickly now.  He understands how they all work and his dexterity and coordination have gotten much better since turning one.

He loves this car!!

This is usually how he gets out of his car;
Dukes of Hazard style!

Books are still his favorite "toy" to play with.  He has his favorites and brings them to me to read regularly.  I can even repeat lines from a book (when it's sitting on the shelf) and he'll go get the one I'm reciting.  Smart little booger :)

He's still napping twice a day:  10:00 - 11:30 and 3:00 - 4:30.  I've tried to push the morning nap a little, but it's not pretty.  So, we plan things accordingly and make sure he gets two naps.  Bed time is still 7:30 - 7:45 and he's happy to go down without any problem.  He certainly likes to be on his schedule and Mommy likes that he goes down so easily :)

And here are a few other pictures from the past few weeks.

Wearing my sunglasses as we shop.  He usually gets LOTS of comments!

Playing at Willow Bend with some frineds.

Wanna be friends??

Can you see his silly little smile?  He was walking around to all the adults
and giving them this face.  I don't think they thought it was near
as funny and cute as I did.  I can't imagine why not!

So happy to be playing with friends.
