Jack at 16 months

Jack has changed so much in the last month it's hard to believe he is the same little boy.  He has been a big reader for months now, it's hard to keep the books organized anywhere because he is always lugging them around from room to room.  Jack has finally started talking!  Only a few words that we understand but super cute regardless.  He says choo-choo for train, uh oh, this, night night, book, up, bye bye, ball and baby.  He has also started dancing, which is hysterical.  I guess the dancing mickey has been his inspiration.  He LOVES to play ball with his daddy when he gets home from work and I can hear him and Libbie running and playing in the house, it is adorable.  We went through a short period of tantrums but I think it is mostly his frustration at not being able to do things himself and not being able to communicate.  One thing I learned this week is he was dying to feed himself from a spoon...it is SUPER messy and I'm not thrilled about it but I guess that is how he will learn.   People keep asking me what he thinks about the baby coming....well...I'm not really sure he knows there is a baby coming to be honest.  When I ask him where the baby is he either points at my belly or at his own (which DOES rival mine :)).  So I am SURE he is in for a surprise...poor kid.
