2 years 5 months

At 2 years 5 months, Jack:

has had such a vocabulary explosion. I love listening to him talk and figuring out what he's trying to say. His cute little lisp is the sweetest.

wants to watch Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Robots, or Cars all.the.time. Hopefully he'll get a couple more movies for Christmas to add to the rotation.

got another much needed haircut.

likes to play with his Tatohead doll.

does not want to ride in the cart on the way into the store. He wants to hold your hand and run up to the door.

melts my heart when he says "Mommy, help."

learned that the stove is hot and got a nice blister on his finger as a result. The new phrase after this experience was "Mommy said hot."

likes to put "beam" on his tummy.

was in the bathroom with me while I changed Charlie. I said Charlie had a stinky diaper and Jack turned around a switched on the fan. Cracked me up!

can get a pretty good attitude going and has trouble with hitting and throwing things.

loves pizza, cheese, fruit juice, balls (Kix and Cocoa Puffs,) crackers and candy.

was in charge of turning the Christmas lights on after his nap. He also loved the push button extension cord to turn on the trees.

also loved the candy advent calendar I got him this year. He looked forward to getting a piece of "dindy" each evening.

sleeps with a couple of books under his "dummy" and his little puppy under his arm. He usually ends up with his head under the pillow by morning.



will repeat many of the phrases in Cars, Nemo, etc. He always screams like Nemo when Nemo gets caught by the dentist at the beginning.

loves his Matchbox cars. He lines them up in a row and pushes them around on the little garage he got for his birthday.

was great when we went to see Santa and loved looking at all the Christmas lights around town.

was such the ham at Brian's birthday dinner. He stood in the booth and danced to all the music. He was quite the little flirt with the waitress as well.

is very into Ligheen (Lightning McQueen) and Doc Hudson. Hearing him say Hudson with his little lisp is so cute.

is counting a little. He says "on, do, free." Then he usually skips to eight or nine.

can be challenging, but most of the time is a sweet little guy.
