I don't have any facts and can't tell you all the new words Jack is saying or things he is doing. (I'm writing this at the beginning of May) but I have started a better system of capturing these little milestones. A piece of paper taped to the fridge so we can write these things down. So, when I am ready and in the mood to blog, I'll have information to blog about.
January 1st is my annual day to put up the Christmas decorations. Jack was helping me pack up wearing his Aggie Santa hat.
One of the toys that Jack got was this Sesame Street playhouse. Ben really wanted to get this for Jack even though Jack doesn't watch Sesame street. Somehow he still knows all of the character names.
Even to this day, Jack is very OCD/particular about where each character goes. Ernie, Burt, Cookie Monster, Elmo, and somehow Alvin (from Alvin and the chipmunks) have their own spot in this play house. If you try to put them in a different spot, he grabs them and puts them back in their "correct" place. Just recently Jack got Big Bird and Abbie to add to this playhouse and I guess since they were not there originally, they do not have a place. If you try and put them in the playhouse, he takes them and throws them "outside" of the playhouse. He also loves to open the front door put in one character close the door and repeat with each character.
Jack climbed up in this chair all by himself. Takes a lot of arm strength to do this. Plus turn around and get situated without falling off since the bear is so big.
Jack loves to go to Grandpa and Sissy's house. He has so many rooms and things to explore. I'm pretty sure he wears them out. He goes from playing in the truck in the garage, to playing the piano, to going outside either backyard or frontyard, to the "clock" room (it's really the Dr. Pepper room, has tons of antique Dr. Pepper stuff in it but also a lot of Dr. Pepper clocks), to sitting on the couch.
Jack found this flashlight in the garage and said "flashlight". Then all he wanted to do was turn it on and off.
You can put in your own caption here.
One night while waiting for daddy to get home, Jack found a set of PJ's and decided to put them on...himself. I was a little surprised. Didn't know he could do that.
He thought it was the funniest thing.
This winter was very mild. Jack loved being able to go "ou-side".
Having fun with his bear
Yippeee
I was trying to get Jack to read this book so that I could take a picture and put it on facebook as the way we announced we were expecting Baby #2. At first he didn't want anything to do with it. Then I found the page where the big brother was playing basketball and asked Jack "What is he doing?" and he pointed and said "Basketball" I knew that would work.
