Jack is now 20 months old and becoming more and more of a little boy and less and less of a baby every day.
*He has a full mouth of teeth. Many of his teeth came through at once, but he never seemed phased.
*He vocabulary is expanding all the time. Some of the words we've heard recently include uh-oh, cheese (when taking a picture), duck, and bye-bye.
*He has developed a fascination with the stove. He walks by and says "hot."
*He's now tall enough to open our kitchen drawers and reach doorknobs to close doors. Unfortunately, he hasn't quite mastered opening doors, so quite often we find him crying in a room he's closed himself in.
*He continues to be a climber and occasionally gets himself into some unique jams.
*He is very good at going up and down the stairs by himself.
*He recently got his first solo ride on Sandy the pony at Meijer. Normally, he shares a ride with Hannah, but the kind greeter gave the kids each a penny for their very own rides. He was thrilled!
*He is so social. He waves at EVERYBODY whenever we're out.
*Papa Cramer always asks the kids "All who want to do _____ (whatever), say I" and the kids all say I and raise their hands. Jack is now into it too, and usually has his hand up and saying "Ah" before Hannah.
*He is very good at following directions. He's particularly good at fetching shoes and socks and usually even comes out with a matching pair!
*He has started trying to dress himself. He's still got some practice to do before he's successful, but he's definitely trying to gain more independence.
