He also has so much to say these days. He points to everything and just jabbers away about it, he is learning to use new signs everyday which has made life so much more calm. It has taken away a lot of the guessing game for us, and a lot of his frustration. He is signing the following words: more, ball, dog, bird, juice(drink), dada, eat, fan, all done and light. We are working on: stop, outside, help, go, home and sleep. He has also started shaking his head "no" which is way more cute than it should be, can we say rotten?!
He loves to dance! Anytime he hears music he stops in his tracks and dances! He moves his hands in an indescribable way...(I will try to get a video) it is almost like interpretive dance, it is precious! At church he will stand next to us and dance and clap while he "sings" as loud as he can.
His schedule has changed a lot over the past week or two. He is sleeping almost 12 hours at night, thus he is phasing out his morning nap. He wakes up about 9 in the morning and then goes down for a 2.5 hour nap around noon, sometimes he still needs a short nap in the evening though! He is also weaning himself off the bottle. He started refusing his naptime bottle and is now down to 2 bottles a day. He is still super attached to his paci. and to Buddy (his taggies blanket)...we will cross that bridge when we get there...
Summer is rapidly coming to an end and it makes my heart hurt to think about not being with him every second of everyday. However, God did send someone to us to take care of him here at our house. Such a blessing! Now he won't have to go to daycare, he will get one-on-one attention and hopefully stay well more than sick this year, unlike last.
I could not ask for a more happy, intelligent, snuggly, loving, beautiful son. He has made my life so much sweeter, I love him so much sometimes it takes my breath. I thank God everyday for Jack and that he chose us to be his parents....we are definately blessed.
We got a seat that attaches to the front of Dustin's bike so Jack rides in front of Dus, nestled comfortably between his arms and legs. Jack LOVES riding on the bike!
As you can see, we didn't need the stroller very much! He was off and running in no time!
