me, me, me...dad, dad, daddy...

those seem to be the many sounds coming out of jack's mouth these days. his first official word was dad, but recently he has started saying eat, which is not atypical considering that might be his father's favorite thing to do;) it goes a little like this...jack runs to the kitchen, turns to look at you and waves his hand for you come, and then continues on yelling eat, eat, eat! always 3 times--too funny.

he's also finally learned some more signs. talk about slow on the uptake, but he now does 3 signs consistently. we're working on using please correctly all the time, but he also has no patience and when he wants something, please goes right out the window. ahem, again wonder where he gets that from;)

speaking of that lack of patience, he has become quite cantankerous...his new found temper has gotten old quick. not to mention the fact that he thinks time-outs are fun--he gets about 2 warnings and then i threaten time-out, but the only problem is that he walks over willingly to time-out!? hmm...i guess i'll have to work on that one.

Love the valentine photos of Jack... great photo shoot, Kristin!

Love to hear that his mood is as on-par for toddler-hood as Ben's is. Stay strong, mama! Ben smiles big cheesy grins when I put him in time-out; I have to look away to keep from laughing. They're getting the point, and not too much fun in the naughty spot.

Hope to see you all soon. Wish you were here now- we're all super healthy (did I just say that aloud?!).
