14 months...a little late

I kinda forgot to post this when he actually turned 14 months and then we were gone over the weekend...so this is the first chance I have had. Jack is growing and changing everyday. He is so much fun. This summer we have been busy going swimming, playing at different parks and exploring the out doors. He has already had a fair share of scraped knees and bumps and bruises. He is definitely all boy! Here are some other fun facts!

- He weighs almost 24 lbs. I know this because we had to take him to the doctor a few weeks ago because he kept breaking out and you could tell it was very itchy and bothering him and nothing we were putting on it was helping. Turns out, it is eczema (which is what I thought.) The doctor gave us some cream and it has worked miracles!

- He wears 12 month clothes and 18 month pajamas. Although I pulled out some shorts from last summer and they fit! Which means he is wearing 3-6 month shorts. Can you say skinny little thing!!

- He loves to eat, especially fruit. We haven't found a fruit that he doesn't like. He wants to start using a spoon. He cries for it when we are feeding him. So I started giving it to him. He picks the food up, puts it on the spoon and then puts the spoon in his mouth. Its so cute!

- He is saying more and more things. He says dog, Jack, baba (what a sheep says), roar (what a lion and many other animals says), more (he says this while signing please...it is so cute to watch. He does it about 1000 times a day!), bye-bye while waving, something that sounds like hello while putting the phone to his ear!

- He loves books. That is one of his favorite things to do.

- When he is trying to relax, he rubs something soft up against his nose. We call these "sniffies" and if you are lucky he will let you have sniff!

- He LOVES music! He loves to dance and sway to any song. He enjoys when we sing to him. Some of his favorite songs are "If You're Happy and You know It," "Baa Baa Black Sheep," and "Twinkle, Twinkle."

He is a busy little boy. He is fearless. He can now climb on the couch and chairs. He thinks it is pretty cool to stand on them too. We are working really hard on sitting. He loves to go up and down the stairs and he thinks he can do it all by himself without holding on to anything. He definitely keeps us on our toes!

A little update

I have definitely been lacking in the blogging department...sorry but for some reason I have a really hard time uploading pictures to blogger and frankly what is an update without a picture of our little man. So if you want to see pictures, you will have to look for them on facebook.

Jack has been changing almost daily it seems. He is constantly learning something new. His big thing this past week is that he now knows the sign for "please." I love it!!! He rubs his whole body with his hands when he does it...its too cute!

He is also trying to talk. He babbles all the time! If only I could understand what he is saying. He is trying to say things. He knows that some animal says "roar." What he doesn't know if which one. If you hold up any animal and ask what it says, he says "roar."

We got a zoo pass for the summer. We already went once and we plan to go again this weekend as long as the weather is nice.

We have also decided that Jack is part fish! He LOVES the water. We have taken him to the pool at our complex a few times and he has also enjoyed swimming in grandma and grandpa DeWeese's little pool when we have visited them.

And you are all very lucky...I finally got 1 picture to upload...This was taken at the zoo a few weeks ago. I think we might have a future bull rider on our hands!
