Jack's Jabber








Jack has really been saying a lot of new words lately. And I'm happy to report that Jack has finally named his grandma and grandpa. He spent a few days with Grandma and Grandpa Rickert over fall break, and he now fondly refers to them as "Bamma and Bampa"!! He just loves to be with them and he's much better behaved for them too!!

A few other words and phrases that have been prominent over the last weeks and months include: no (as a response to everything when he means yes or no!), all gone, I do (in response to any question asked with an upsweep tone), car car, moon, ball, uh oh, MEMO (for Elmo), Ba Bird (for Big Bird), juuuice and nana (for banana). He is also into praying right now. He loves to fold his hands and say AHHHMEN! He says a lot more words, but I'm blanking right now!

He's a noisy, busy little boy. He bbrrooms his cars all around the house, and he's constantly making some noise unless he's sleeping...and then he's snoring! He goes nonstop from the moment he wakes up until the moment he crashes at nap and then at bedtime. Busy, busy, busy....

Fall 2008






We've enjoyed some fall activities over the last couple weekends. Jack and I went to Apple Jack's Orchard with Kristy, Cooper and Ty a couple weeks ago, and last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch with the Wernau's. I got some cute pictures, and these will be some fun traditions we continue from year to year as Jack grows up. Looking back at the pictures from last year's trip to the pumpkin patch, it's amazing to see how much Jack's grown.

Grandma Rickert spoiled Jack (and me) with this great shirt! Go OOOOOOOOOOOOBAMA!!! "He even says OMAMA!"

Jack-18 months

Jack is officially a year and a half old, and he's a true toddler, a huge pain-in-the-butt, but cute as can be! Here's a video taken of him on his 18 month birthday! (I'm still loading videos to my Google account, so sometime all of my videos will be accessible!)
