Jack's First Tree

This was the first time we turned on the Christmas tree lights! Jack keeps saying, "my tree." At the end of the 2nd video he says, "Dada look, tree." Then he actually said "Christmas" a second after the video was stopped!

"Christmas!"

So, guess it's obvious but the first three are of "terrible two tantrums." Luckily he does not have many and they do not normally last long. This one was food related. In the first photo, he is taking a swing at the paparazzi. Charges will not be pressed.

Last weekend Jack said "Christmas" for the first time. We bought a small tree, a bit taller than him. He got very excited about it and helped put on decorations. He is better at taking off decorations though. Every night he says night-night to the tree, "man" (snowmen), and even the lights. He is getting more cuddly and gives hugs more lately. He is actually excited to see Mom come to pick him up at daycare now, instead of saying "nooooo" and running the other way.

We will attempt to post videos.....but Jack once again knocked the laptop on the floor and it is not working. So it may be awhile for "good" photos (from the good camera).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jack is saying all kinds of things now. He says, "over there" and "turn" when we are turning when driving and "freeway" (it sounds like "faaay"). He gets mad sometimes when we get off the freeway, he seems to like going fast. He also says "hurry." When we were looking at a book the other day he said, "Mama, hurry" and turned the page. We are going to Grandpa Robert's soon for Thanksgiving. We can't wait to be in WA soon for Christmas and are hoping for some snow to play in!

Jack's 2nd Bday

Jack would not sit still for long....
He took forever to eat his cupcake!
(Before everyone arrived). The theme this year was all about everything Jack loves now:
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!



Jack had a lot of fun!

Happy Halloween!

Town Square- not a busy section-- it was full of kids!!
Checking out the "wheels"
Armed and dangerous-- no monkey business!!
As usual, his pants are too big!
The view is better from up here!

Going down a slide is even more fun in a costume!

In the hotel--- he loved his monkey costume. He did not see that it had a banana in his pocket until we got back that night. He said "numanuma" (banana) and "MMMM!"
