Buddies
I call this one "Solitude"
Every once in a while, a man needs a quiet moment to ponder.
His place in the universe.... the meaning of life.... what's for lunch......

23 Months!
This is the last time I will be posting in "months." Because next month I get to be "years".... No more babyish months for me! I'll save all the waxing philosophical for the birthday post next month, so let's just stick to the facts today:
1. Independent streak. If I can do it for myself, I'm sure going to try. And if I can't do it myself, I'm going to try anyway. All this 'doing it myself' results in a lot of used paper towels, and running the washing machine, but what are you going to do? Crush a boy's spirit? Not my mom.
2. I like to open the fridge and stare blankly at it's contents. It's not likely I'm going to eat anything in there, but I see dad do it a lot, so it must a life skill.
3. I still don't like food. I've managed to choke down some of the less offensive Chef Boyardee options, but table food is still not a favorite. I've discovered the joy of good french fries, and ate so much pizza the other night, I passed out. That was a good night. Mom was so happy to see me eat it, she just kept it coming! My little belly was so round and hard that Mom and Dad laughed and laughed.
4. I like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and gleefully shout "TOODLES" when it's time. I'll also PAT PAT PAT when it's time for the Little Einsteins to take off in Rocket. Mom thinks Einsteins is tedious to watch, but she doesn't complain. Very much.
5. I'm out of my biting phase!
6. I'm into my nose picking phase! Mom would rather have the biting back.
8. Talking! Talking! Talking! My speech really took off over Christmas break, and Mom can't even count how many words I say. I surprise her all the time by using one she's never heard me say before. Riding in the car is especially exciting- I like to look for "BARN!" and "TRACTOR!" and countless other exciting things that others take for granted.
9. I'm obsessed with vehicles and farm equipment. I also love animals, and like to see people with their dogs. I'm a boy through and through, and love my hot wheels and trains. My Fisher Price barn with animals is a current favorite. Aunt Catherine passed it along from her kids, who got it from Aunt Rebecca and her kids, so someone got their money's worth. Mom and Dad bought an extra suitcase at Christmas just to bring home all the awesome toys my cousins gave me!
10. I know my colors and can find the "blue car" or the "green balloon" or anything else you ask me to find in my picture books. Mom thinks I'm absolutely brilliant, but I think I'm right on track.
11. Mom taught me the Meow Mix song while we were grocery shopping the other day, and I thought I was going to die I laughed so hard. That the was funniest thing I'd heard in a while, so now I like to sing it too. If you listen closely, you can hear me sing softly while I play with my toys. "meow meow meow meow".......
Cheers Everyone!
Love Jack

7. I like to be involved in tasks. Unloading the dryer, putting drinks in the fridge. I'm full service! I follow directions really well (as long as I'm interested). It's possible I'm being groomed for a life of indentured servitude- that thought has occurred to me.

Mom Hijacks the Blog!
Oh Jack. You're such a smart clever boy. You'll look back on this blog someday, and be so glad that you documented your adventures so thoroughly. We'd hate for this one to be edited out, so I'll guest-blog today. I'll tuck this memory away carefully, so that when you're a sullen, moody teenager I can pull these pics out and remind you (and the sullen moody girl you've brought home) that your life used to be so sweet and carefree.
I especially love this one where you're channeling your best Geordi LaForge from Star Trek. You just became that much cooler to dorks everywhere.
