Jack - 15 months
This cute little guy. Oh how we love him. I can almost watch him grow. It's happening too fast. And now that's he's 16.5 month's old I'll give you his 15-month-old update that I started a month and a half ago :)
He's a climber and good at it, fortunately for me he doesn't even try to climb out of his crib (unlike his brother at this age). He easily mastered going up and down stairs since we've been on our trip out west. He just needed the opportunity since our house in Florida doesn't have any. He graduated from swimming on July 3rd. It makes me so happy to see him be able to float in water. We are so proud of him!
His smile is sooooo cute! He still loves to be held and snuggled. He likes to sit and read books on his own, but will hardly sit and listen to a book when we read to him.
Jack is a great eater. He's actually been out-eating Sawyer these days. Some of his favorites are avocados, peaches, broccoli, turkey, and of course ice cream.
.
He still loves my hair and it hurts! He's always grabbing for it and running his hands through it, or ripping it out of a pony tail. When I lay him down in his crib at night he loves it if I dangle my hair over him so he can play with it.
He is addicted to shoes. He's putting them on and taking them off constantly throughout the day. He's not picky, any and every single shoe will do!
He's gotten in one molar and working on the other three...this has led to him sucking his bottom lip constantly for the past week. (And a month later, he has 3 molars in, still working on that last one. Still loves sucking on his bottom lip though! Anyone have any good ideas on how to break that habit? I wasn't really going to try and do anything until he gets that last molar in...)
He understands very well when we talk to him, but he's not into talking to us. We get a few words here and there, but he prefers other methods of communication so far. He's said a few things very clearly and in the right context, but he holds out for the most part (up, down, powder, banana, papa, help please, mama, doggie, tractor, up, 'mmmmm' for cow etc). He makes the cutest pig sounds! He's always up for saying anything I want him to if I have chocolate ready for him :) Oh yes, and Sara has been perfecting his bird calls. (And now, a month of so later, he's actually using words quite a bit more now.)
He loves Sawyer, and thinks he pretty funny, especially when he's jumping or throwing running. He'll share almost anything he has in his hands if Sawyer asks him, but more often than not, Sawyer will take without asking and Jack pitches a loud fit.
His favorite book is Baby Animals. It's an interactive book that has pictures of animals that slide back and forth. Jack has learned how to take the pictures out. I put the pictures back in and he gets delighted when he finds the book again so he can pull them all out. He also loves Pat the Bunny, another interactive book.
He is very easy to put down for naps/night. I read a few books, sing a couple songs, give him a smooch and lay him down. Sometimes he'll cry, but it's usually only for a minute or two.
He LOVES mud puddles. While we were at Uncle David's farm in Colorado they had some rain showers which left the perfect puddle for Jack to run through. He also loves animals, especially dogs. He gets so excited any time we see one. He's gentle with them too. And if any of our books have a particular page with dogs on it, you can forget trying to see any other page. His 'woof' sound is a short, abrupt, 'oof' and is easy to miss.
Whenever music plays he is ready to dance - usually portrayed by going in circles. He loves when I sing "If You're Happy and you Know It" and will immediately start clapping his hands, another favorite is "The Wise Man and the Foolish Man".
We love you Jack!

Here are my big helpers in action.
