I'M BACK!

I am finally taking the time to sit down and post some updates. Somehow, two months have flown by since my last entry! Oops! I am happy to say though, that only good things have happened since then :)Jack gets bigger by the day & amazes Scott & I with every little thing he does!

Before the pictures, I'll let you know what's going on with the little man....

*He talks more than ever! I'm convinced he was a parrot in a previous life. He is curious about everything around him and will repeat what he says OVER and OVER until you say exactly what he did. He does get slightly frustrated if you are not able to understand what he is saying. I used to just "uh huh" him if I had no clue what he was saying, but that is unacceptable. Scott & I are fluent in "Jack."

* His FAVORITE cartoon for the last few months has surprisingly been Scooby Doo. What's surprising about it is that he is obsessed with the episodes from 1970. He prefers the really old ones to the newer ones and LOVES to dance with Daddy to the theme song.

*We had our 2 1/2 year well visit. He is 3 feet 1/4" and 29.8 lbs. Can't seem to break the 30lb mark. He is on the slim side but perfectly fine for his height :) Everything else looked good. We have been having issues with fluid in his ears since his last bad infection in December but it seems to have cleared up!! The doctor did tell me however, to cut back on Jack's milk intake! I was totally shocked by that. Jack is not a juice drinker, not because he does not like it, he just asks for milk morning, noon & night! He loves it. He has "special milk" and "regular milk." The special milk is the pediasure he drinks if he is not having a good eating day and the regular milk is exactly that, regular 1 % milk. He tells me which milk he wants each morning and that is what he gets. Apparently, you can actually have too much milk! It can lead to anemia, which I never knew.

*He is still a huge sleeper! He no longer takes two naps a day, but the one nap he takes is anywhere from 4 -4 1/2 hours! It's crazy. He literally sleeps through lunch most days!!

*The Ipod Touch is his favorite toy. It's absolutely fascinating to watch him work this thing. He literally taught himself how to go from app to app! We have a flash card app. that he loves where he repeats parts of the body. We will be driving in the car and hear him in the back saying "red blood cells, pancreas, spleen" etc. It's hysterical. He also loves Angry Birds and his Toy Story games. It's a great distraction for him when we have somewhere to be for an extended period of time or long car rides! Which means we all love it :)

*Traffic lights are Red, Yellow & "Blue" He totally knows his colors, he just tells me that he does not like green lol. So whenever the light turns green, without fail, he says "Blue Mama, not green, I don't like green!" I love it!

*The mall is still his favorite place, but Shop Rite is definitely a close second. Whenever I pick him up after work, he tells me he needs to go to Shop Rite. He could spend hours there!

*We are also potty training, which is going amazingly well, but that will be a post on it's own :)

That's about it for the little man. He's really not so little anymore, which of course makes me a bit sad but this age is SO MUCH FUN! I'll follow this with some pictures, well, probably a lot of pictures :) This is my attempt to get back in the swing of things and post more often!
