27 Months

Jacky Bear you are already 27 months. Everyday brings on the unexpected as you are full of energy, ideas, giggles, and some attitude. These pictures were taken right on March 8th, but I am just getting around to posting them, amazing how even in these last 3 weeks you have grown so much!

• Favorite Things
• "Tangled" is still the movie favorite. You have started repeating lines now and it makes your Dad and I laugh. The Golf Channel and Mickey Mouse Club House tie for runner up of things to watch. You will only watch TV in the big bed or right before bedtime on the couch.
• Love to FaceTime the family. Not fully having conversations yet, but they can make out the key words. You will make a pretend sad face and say you miss them in "Cheecago".
• Golf, Baseball, just plain running around outside are your favorite activities.
• When you sit still, Good Night Moon, is your book of choice.
• Before dinner you say your prayers. We hold hands and you bow your head. In fact we say numerous prayers because you love it so much, and you always say amen.
• Salami, Strawberries, and Veggies with Dip are your favorite foods. Oh and Lucky Charms. I caved in so you would have more milk. Super annoying that you won't just drink a glass!
• We go out to ice cream once a week and it is your favorite date.
• And you love Dutch. Dutch probably thinks you love him a little too much:)

• Personality
• You are a great sleeper. Still in the crib but your "Big Boy" bedroom is all set up. Nap 5 days out of the week, anywhere from 1 to 2.5 hours. Bedtime is around 9pm and you wake up at 7:45am.
• We can finally make it through a whole church service. You actually get excited to go now and play with the kids and eat crackers. There are tears in the beginning, but you work through it.
• You can count 1 to 10 and know when there is up to 3 of something. You know all of your letters, and objects on the letter blocks. Amazed at how you know all of those! Easily can point out colors as well, especially pink these days, and you say it is for baby girl.
• Always say "please" and "thank you". I just want to pinch your cheeks every time.
• Shopping is easy again. As long as I give you lollipops.
• You are such a snuggle cuddle bear, always giving me big hugs and kisses.
• While you are quite the adorable lover boy, you also have a stubborn streak. Tantrums are not often, but when they occur they are dramatic.
• Jack you are one very busy boy, just always on the go, and always in my business. I try to understand though as I know you are just learning about everything. Defiently not a child that will sit and play quietly with toys.
• You always want to "help" me.

You are growing up too quickly.

I love being your Mom.
