happy 20 months!

it is hard to believe jack is 20 months today. i know i say this constantly, but it has gone by so quickly. i keep reminding myself to enjoy everyday with him because he'll be all grown up before i know it!

just to keep track, jack is saying about 8 words consistently. he is attempting to sound out words, and while i can tell he wants to talk, he's just not quite there yet. on the flip side, he has mastered the fork and spoon--he's been able to do this for a while, but he's gotten much more consistent as of late. he is also starting to differentiate colors--i think coloring has helped this a lot, because i'm constantly asking him for certain crayons.

speaking of coloring, this is one if his new favorite things to do. he's kind of funny though, because he knows you're only supposed to color on paper, but he'll hold the crayon to say the couch, my leg, the floor, etc. and then make a certain noise as if he's asking "can i color on this?" so i've been very dilligent in my explaining that we only color on paper!

on that note, happy 20 months "big" guy! i can't wait to see what you discover next:)

a little perspective...one year ago today!

these were taken this morning...jack had run to look out our window to watch dad on his way to work:)
