Silly Boy

Ha ha! Look at this cheesy grin!

Its not easy to get this boy to look at the camera.

I had to do all kinds of goofy faces and fake laughs.

Which, in turn, led to this silly, adorable smile.

-------------------------------------------------------------
We just got back from a weekend away. Jack certainly enjoyed seeing his cousin 'Jas' (Jason), 'Gamma', 'Gapa' (Grandpa), and his Uncle Brian (whose name he didn't attempt). We made it home around 3:30 (thankfully Jack slept the entire way home)...and launched right into one temper tantrum after another for the next hour and a half. We went and had dinner out with my parents and narrowly avoided a serious puke session (Jack didn't like something he ate, he was gagging--which usually means bad things on the horizon...but somehow we were lucky).

I've taken lots of pictures over the last week and a half, but haven't found the energy to upload them. Busy week ahead...so we'll see if and when they make it onto the blog.

----------------------------------------------------------
Earlier today while we were still in Illinois, Jack was in the kitchen talking to the dog. Here is what it sounded like, "Su-up....su-up...SU-UP". Yikes! I'm pretty sure he was telling Jake (the whiner) to shut up. Over and over again (I have NO idea where he would have got this from lol). When I walked into the kitchen, I asked him what he was doing, and it sound like he said, "I un him to su-up." (I want him to shut up). Good or bad, it was hilarious. But, from now on, I will try my best to kindly ask the dog to 'be quiet' (when you tell Jack to be quiet, he likes to obnoxiously repeat the word 'KI-ET' at the top of his lungs).

We're never...

...going to be able to keep this kid inside. We went outside a few times today, and much to his chagrin we eventually had to come back in the house. He kept telling me, "Unna go owtide." These are the days that I really wish we had a better yard setup (no hill out back, no water accumulation, and definitely a fence)...he's a little scary out front with the road--he's so fast--and he falls on the concrete. Regardless, he's having a blast. And we're loving the weather.

Bubbles...

Jack and I spent some time today blowing bubbles. He gets such a kick out of them, and he gets so excited every time he sees them. When Bob got home, we busted out the bubbles again. At one point, Jack started pointing at various bubbles, telling us...."Hey! Wook! Ere's uh bubble!" (Hey! Look! There's a bubble!). It was so cute! (I got a video of the bubbles and Jack talking, but for whatever reason, Blogger doesn't like my iphone videos and wouldn't let me upload it). He's talking a lot more in sentences now...and it seems every day there's something else he's picked up.

Spikey Hair

-------------------------------------------------------------

We had the windows open yesterday evening, and Jack was playing with his cars over there like he always does. At one point, he looked at Bob, and goes, "it tuck" (its stuck)...after he had gotten a car wedged between the window and the screen.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Jack and I were playing our version of hide-n-seek where basically he hides behind the curtains, and I say, "Jack. Jack. Where's Jack?"........he then peeks out laughing, and I say, "There he is!". We had done this a few times, and I went to find something in the closet. Apparently, he didn't think the game was over because I heard, "Ack. Ack. Eres Ack?... Ere e is." Poor guy was still trying to play all by himself.

Oliver the Cat

Jack loved Oliver (Jen's cat)--although I'm fairly certain that the feeling wasn't mutual. Jack even attempted to try some kitty food. And some days he would follow him all over the house. Its a shame our old kitty Benny kept peeing in the stroller...they could have been buds.

Random Baltimore Pictures

Newer words...

This picture has nothing to do with the words...I just thought he was sweet laying here on his arms the other night.

Me: (puts Jack in carseat)
Jack: I wanna dive (I wanna drive)
Me: Mmm. Don't think so buddy.

----------------------------------------------

Me: Jack, you have to sit in the doctor's office. You need to be good.
Jack: I'll ty (I'll try...lol)
