Letters To Jack Jack

Sweet Baby Boy,

You are now 15 1/2 months and getting smarter each and every day.  I am absolutely loving this stage in your babyhood (or toddler hood I should say).  You are so much fun and have the best personality.  It brings so much joy to our lives to see you learn something new... literally every day.  You had your 15 month check up the other day and currently are in the 20% percentile for weight and 84% percentile for height. Go figure, someone has his dads figure.  You are a little chatterbox unless you are really focused on what you are doing, and instead you have this super inquisitive look on your face.  You are talking up a storm and currently know how to say Elmo, Ball, Momma, Dadda, Peez, Papa, uh oh, woo hoo, tractor, and duck.  As I write this I realize you actually say a lot of stuff and repeat in some way anything we ask you too.  Even if it is in your own Jack language.  You answer many questions we ask you in your own language, and you have farm animal sounds down pat.  You are a particularly good "quacker", excellent "mooer", and great "baaaaa-er".  You love to eat...everything...period.  Your obsession is your basketball hoop and stacking your blocks.  I love that you love to read and pick out your favorite books for us to read to you.  You are very particular about what you want us reading to you before bed.  Bath time is a favorite, and you have perfected the "in tub" kick and blowing bubbles. 

A few weeks ago I accidentally cut off too much of your hair.   Well I  didn't, the hair cut guy did and I wanted to cry because you look like such a little boy.  I want to freeze time, because you are getting so big so fast.  I am at the point where I now seriously need to start watching my mouth at home for fear you will repeat me.  Climbing is also your new favorite past time, which gives me and your father a heart attack on a daily basis.  You have come to understand face time which I love because I feel like you are actually seeing me when I am away from you.  I love when you kiss the screen.  I actually love everything about your super cuddly self.  While you are not a sit still kind of cuddle bug anymore, you are a wide open mouth kisser and a sweet boy that will run into our arms for a squeeze.  To say you have your dad and I wrapped around your finger would be an understatement.

Jack I know I am your mom and I am bias... but you are seriously awesome.  You have gone through a tremendous amount of change yourself over the past 30 days and you have been a rock star.   Packed up toys, new school, new house, no Palin, new scenery you have taken it better then any of us I think...all with a smile on your face.  You started your new school this week and it has been fun to hear your teachers tell us about all that you do as they to know our Jack.  You have been coined a "social butterfly"...wonder where you get that from.  You are obsessed with airplanes and pointing at every one you see in the sky, which apparently you ensure all of your teachers know when there is an airplane in the sky.  Bottom line you keep us going sweet angel every single day, and make our life oh so sweet.  We love you more then life itself and are so blessed you are our sweet baby boy.

Love
Momma
