Just Jack: 33 Months

Our boy Jack. He is such a ball of energy, from about 6 am till 7 pm he goes nonstop. He loves to test boundaries and can often be found in the air jumping off of something. As Scott says, he doesn't walk, just runs. He's got places to be. He loves to explore, a favorite is walking around the neighborhood discovering rocks in yards, strawberries in gardens, and balancing on all the ledges. He also loves to build pillow caves in every room, including the one in his big boy room that he sleeps on every night. He still has a love for books and singing, his two favorite pasttimes (if you don't count Mickey Mouse Clubhouse). He is a also a talker, narrating everything he does and what is going on around him. He has a great memory, so if you tell him something you better follow through! He has grown up in a lot of ways since we brought Maggie home. He easily transitions from mama to dada to grandparent to friend, sometimes doesn't even say goodbye to me when I drop him off at school! : ). But at least he's always very happy to see me when I pick him up. One surprise, is his devotion to his baby sister. He's always been a sweet little guy, but he adores her. First thing he'll ask when he wakes up or gets home is "Have you seen Baby Maggie?". He asks to hold her and is constantly patting her head. He's usually the first to respond to her cries and wants us to "Make her feel better.". Of course he sometimes pats too hard, wakes her up, and tries to share his food and toys with her...but it all comes from love.

Flowers for mama.

My first solo trip with both kids...to Target!

The closest he's ever gotten to sleeping in his bed!
The green bead is what the doctor found in his ear canal one day!
