My Baby Boy is so smart. He is talking (pointing out words, etc.) so much now. He has started to put two words together here and there ("Hello Dada" "Up Pease"). He also is saying new words like crazy!! He knows words that we were surprised that he knew! (Pop, candy, dark, puppies, Tigger, etc.)
He loves his Poo and Tigger toys and wants to sleep with them...and he knows all of the letters in the alphabet....and he can even spell "MOM" if we ask him.
He is my amazing little monkey...and I am so proud and overflowing with love for him!
We leave for Disney World next Friday....along with Jana, Chris, Olivia and Mom. We are staying in a Boardwalk 2 Bedroom Villa together...how fun!!! I can't wait to have that week with everyone we love!!! I hope Jack will be old enough to at least have some memories that last from this time together.

My Baby....Still.
Dearest Baby Jack,
Even though you will turn 19 months old at the end of this month.....you are still my baby. You and I have been so busy that I haven't even had time to write down all the wonderful things you've been doing! You are saying so many different words...and know the entire alphabet, numbers 1-10, shapes and colors (if we point at a letter or number or color or shape you will tell us what it is!) You don't talk a lot....but you know so many words. And when you do decide to say something spontaneously, you are LOUD! (Like Mommy).
This morning, I pulled out the blow dryer....you looked at it and came into the bathroom and pointed at it and said something that sounded like "Say That." You said it again and again, so I told you that it was a blow dryer and you then said the word blow dryer (you don't pronounce things so well yet...but Mommy knows what you are saying.) Anyway, I think you were actually asking Mommy what the word for that item was.
You are now running and walking up and down stairs while standing. Mommy has to watch you carefully to make sure that you hang on to the railing. You have no fear and will dive off the edge of the playground equipment. Fortunately, Mommy has always been there to catch you....but you certainly have a way of making Mommy's heart jump.
You love to have Mommy and Daddy read to you. You also love your Reader Rabbit and Mickey Mouse and Pooh computer learning games. Mommy bought you a stuffed Pooh Bear last weekend...and for some reason you decided that you just love this little stuffed bear. You carry him around with you and want him in bed with you when you go to sleep. If you do not have him....you will ask, "Pooh?"
When I ask you where my Baby is....you point a finger to your face...it is so cute. When we ask you what your name is, you say "Aack" and when we ask you what your other name is you say "Bonn Baul." It is the cutest thing in the world. You also know how to get whatever you want by folding your little hands together and saying "PEAS"...no one can resist that!
You still love to nurse, love to cuddle and sleep with Mommy and Daddy. Mommy knows that we will have to wean soon if we want to try to have a brother or sister for you....but it just breaks my heart to think about ending that bond that we have. I love you more than I could have ever believed that I could love anything.
You are now moving into size 3T for some things...but mostly you wear 2Ts. Your little brown curls have turned lighter with golden highlights since you have been out in the sun and your hair is getting longer and longer...we will have to have your haircut at some point...you are just so cute now....we hate to change you in any way!
Your eyes are definitely turning green....but still look blue/gray at times.
I don't know how I made it through life before you. You make every day a wonderful one. My heart swells every time I see your little face or hear your voice. I am in love with you angel. I look forward to watching you become a little boy, and to being there with you for each new discovery.
All my love,
Mommy

Jack--Another Modelling Job!
Oh, and I just must mention that Jack has become quite manipulative! Now, when he really wants something....he clasps his hands together and looks at me with pleading sad eyes and says "EASSSSE" (please). Ugh....I cannot refuse him when he does that! I just can't. Also, when he wants to do something again and I tell him it is time to go, or he has had enough, he holds his little pointer finger up in front of his face and looks at me asking with his eyes and his gesture..."one more?" Again...I can't refuse him when he does this...and I know that I am asking for trouble by giving in to his adorable pleading....but can you blame me?

He is Officially 18 Months!
Where has my baby gone? On July 29, 2004, he turned 18 months!!!
I took the day off Friday to go with him to his 18-month check up. He weighed in at 30lbs. 10oz (85%) and was 34 3/4" tall (98%) and his head measured 50cm (100%) He is a tall big boy....and we couldn't be prouder.
He is saying so many words now...and he will repeat anything we say...he just can't pronounce everything right but he is at least trying!
He only cried a few little tears when he got his shot at the pediatrician's office. He was sooo good...letting Dr. Anne check him all over, look in his ears, etc. (He just put up a little bit of a fight over letting her see his teeth.)
After his appointment, Daddy and I took Jack to the Zoo again. (We took him for the first time the weekend before with his Aunt Jana, Uncle Chris and Olivia. We were so looking forward to it...but we got started late and he saw a few animals and fell right to sleep.) On Friday he got to see the Manatees, an alligator, and ride the carousel twice, he also took a pony ride, and saw some swans before it was time for his nap. He loved it. In fact, he loved it so much that the next day he kept asking "zjuoo?" "zjuoo?" and pointing to the car.
We took him back again on Sunday and he saw the Gorillas, the Reptiles in the reptile house, he rode the carousel again, and took a boat ride, and saw some of the other apes before he got tired. It was so much fun for all of us! I wish I was able to be home with him all of the time.
he was so cute this morning. (I had gotten out of bed before he and Paul were awake.) I went downstairs had some toast, packed my lunch and fed Poo, one of our cats. When I went back into our room, Jack was sitting up in our bed with Daddy, his little eyes were still sleepy...but as soon as he saw me open the door, he got the biggest toothy little grin on his little round face....I wanted to just kiss him and hug him forever. I love the little guy so much.
