18 Months


Wow! 18 Months old! I can't even believe it!

We have all been doing really well. Jack went to the doctor for his checkup and he is back on the curve! Jack weighed in at just over 21 pounds, and was 31.5 inches tall! He is back up in the 3rd percentile for weight rather than listed as less than 3 percent

He has come a long way since his 9 month photos a year ago.

9 Months Old - Remember??

He has some new words recently: car, Pokie, and 'cat poop' (that's a phrase I guess, technically). He loves to dress up with cat ears so we've decided to just go with it and he'll be a black cat for Halloween. He has his own ears now, but for a while he was using a pair I've worn for many Halloweens. Maybe we can both be cats this year:

He also enjoys climbing on things, jumping (well, falling) off things, and throwing things. We try to encourage only the throwing of balls, but it may take a while for that lesson to sink in. Recently, he's started to climb up on tables to flip light switches.

But enough about Jack!

We are really excited about finishing our basement so that we can have room for guests to stay at our house. The contractor hopes to be done within two more weeks with his part of it. We are all really excited.

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
