i'm starting to understand

how 

boys will be boys.

he jumps in every puddle he can find.

throws every ball he gets his hand on.

loves any dog he sees.

watches everything in the sky ...

with shear amazement.

jack you are quite the crazy kid these days.  at twenty months we feel like you are going full speed towards a two year old boy. your vocabulary these days is random but rapidly growing everyday. you tell everything and everyone you meet hi and bye.   you still love to cuddle and your obsession with your thumb and my hair is not going away.  we are working on it. you still love your books. the top one right now is "cars, trucks and things that go."  you somehow know where goldbug is on every single page.  just the other day in the car you showed me how you snap your fingers. you chime in when we sing "i've got the joy" but you won't let me catch it on video yet.  you are obsessed with anything sports and now hold the bat with both hands.  you also have an extreme swing.  you sometimes walk in the room with a silly side step and dance.  we can't get enough of that one.   going to bed isn't as easy as it use to be.  you like to "wok"  till you fall asleep.  we are trying to teach you that can't always happen.  we are thinking your time in the crib might be coming to an end, but we can't bring ourselves to do it just yet.  it will definitely be harder on us than you. you love love love your cousins and we are so blessed that you have so many.  it is such an awesome sight to see how happy you are when you see them.  you know them all by name now. we can't wait to start this summer with you.  it will definitely be one to remember, after all it's your last one with just the three of us.  

we love you more than you will ever know.

  xxoo.
