New Words

Jack is talking up a storm!  Everyday, shoot -- every HOUR, he says something new.  And, a lot of his words are words that surprise me.  

A random picture from the park this past week.

I have s-l-o-w-l-y been taking out Christmas decorations and I placed one of my favorite Christmas trees (my Charlie Brown tree as I call it) just at the bottom of the stairs.  As I got him up from his nap the other day and we were heading down the stairs, he caught a glimpse of the tree and immediately said, "Christmas."  How does he know this stuff??  I promise I didn't prompt him!  And tonight as I was putting him to bed, he asked for "two" taggies and then wanted to be covered with "blankets."  Seriously??  Who is this child?

It sure makes life easier when he can tell me what he wants to eat or that he needs juice (which is what he calls anything in his cup) or asks for certain toys or calls people by name, etc.  But at the same time, it's one of those milestones that solidifies his growth towards becoming a little boy.  I'm trying to just go with it and know we'll be back in baby mode (x2) in just a few short months.
