Talk Time

Jack has been talking more and more. I got some video of him the other day. He's not super cooperative, but this will have to do for now.

Art!

Jack has been more and more interested in coloring and painting lately. I bought him some finger paints the other day. He had a lot of fun painting in his high chair. I didn't trust him anywhere else! I didn't realize what a great way this would be to help him learn his colors. He kept saying green, blue, yellow, and red. Then I asked him, "Do you want the green or the red paint?" and he said, "Yes." It was too funny. He had fun making his hand prints. We also used crayons today. He likes for me to write words like Jack, daddy, dog, etc. He's not much on PlayDoh. It weirds him out a little bit.

He's also been singing more lately. His favorite songs are "Wheels On The Bus" and "Mr. Sun". Today we were running errands and I heard him in the back singing, "Sun, sun, sun, shi dow ohn me!"

He's also been talking so much more. The other day he saw a bunny in the backyard. Today he ran outside and started yelling, "Bunby, Bunby." I asked him where the bunny was and he replied, "I duhn know." I'll get video of him talking soon. By the way, he also calls his belly his "belby".

Hoppy Easter!

While we were waiting for my passport photos at Walgreens, Jack and I strolled through the Easter aisle. I haven't decided if I am going to put together a basket for him yet. I found these bunny ears and couldn't resist. The hubby wasn't too thrilled with the idea. I'm sure he was thinking of the Ralphie's horrible pink bunny suit from "A Christmas Story". However, once he saw Jack with them on, he changed his tune. He even tried them on himself. Jack LOVES them. He's been very interested in animals lately. He wants to know what sound they make and mimic them. We have a poor killdeer whose made a nest in the backyard. He enjoys chasing her and shouting "Birdie. Tweet! Tweet!" He likes to grab the ears while hes wearing them and shout "Bunny!" I'm trying to teach him to wiggle his nose like one but he doesn't get it. (He can snort and snuff like a rhino, roar like a dinosaur, and make his version of a fishy face by sticking his tongue in and out really fast.) He also is trying to hop like a bunny (you would all get a kick out of seeing me teach him this) but he just bends his knees up and down really fast. Here are some pics of my guys:
