Jack stories
October 2012
2 years 9 months old
-When playing in the tub, Jack grabbed his ‘parts’. “Mom, I found someteen!” “What is it?” “Is it baws (balls)?” “Yes Jack, it is.” “I wanna get dem outta dare!!”
-We were talking about Baby Kaiden bracelet, and Jesus. Jack asked, “Where is big Jesus and baby
Jesus?” I told him, “He’s up high.” He says, “No, he’s on the ground!” “I love Jesus.” I told him, “Me too.” He screamed, “No you don’t!! He’s my Jesus and I take him awwwwwwww
gone!” Well…okay then.
-Talking to Grandma Joyce while she’s laying next to him in
his bed. “Guess what, my mommy and daddy
said someone’s comin in 2 more nights of sleep!
And he’s got a biiiiiiig hat! And
iiiiiiiiiiits JESUS! And Santaaaaa
Clauuuuuuus!”
-Jack loves his ‘babies’.
These include: Doggie and Penguin.
He gets very concerned about their well being and their location. While we were reading a book one night, he
kept interrupting asking to feed Penguin.
He wanted to ‘nurse’ Penguin but we made him use a pretend bottle
instead. Then we continued reading until
Doggie got scared of monsters. Had to
stop book and explain that he has to be brave for his babies. “Eets okay baby. Dares no monstows.”
-While reading Are You My Mother the bird yelled for
his mommy. I asked Jack if he ever
missed Mommy. He said, “Yes, when you
drop me off and go to work.” Okay, that
was a bad question. Guilt!!!!!
-I needed a couple of minutes and asked Jack to do puzzles
alone while I took
a break. He was playing great until his puzzle guy tipped over. He gave up and started whining that he needed help. “I can’t do it!” I made him say, “I think I can I think I can…..” He started whispering it….set guy up again and he fell. He said, “I think I CAN’T, I need HEWP!” He ended up finishing alone and said, “Does he look good? I did it!”

-At 4 AM, Jack woke up yelling, “Daddy Hewp Me!” Justin ran downstairs only for him to say,
“Stars are off.” (Had been off since
8:30 PM night before….)
-Hi Mister! Hi Mister
Hanna! We go to Cedar Fawls. They have tables and food in Cedar Fawls!” (Love that he mimics us when talking to
Sister) We then asked Jack if we had food at our house, he said, “No!” Drama King!

Dear Hanna,
My sweet
baby angel, you are 10 months old! You
are still such a sweetheart. You love
your Mommy and cry when I hand you to someone else, and get so very excited
when you see your Daddy’s face! You
start kicking and grunting and smiling when he gets home.
You still
don’t have any teeth. This weekend you
have had a fever all weekend. No teeth
yet! We hope you get some soon. You weigh 21 lbs. 10 oz., and are 28 ¾ in. long.
You are 89% for weight, 78% for length.
You are very healthy! And we are very
lucky!
You eat
squash, peas, green beans, lots of fruit mixes, and drink 6- 8 oz. bottles of
formula 4 times a day. We have tried to
give you cheese, but you don’t like it.
You do not like yogurt melts. You
do not like to suck on ice cubes in the net anymore. You do not like to suck on frozen yogurt in
the net. You do not like Mum Mums. We are so ready for you to get teeth so we can
feed you more food!
You are
standing up in your crib right now ready for us to come get you! You are such a happy baby; especially when we
come to get you!
You sure
like to be held, to pull yourself up on things, to jump in the jumparoo, to
stand at your little table, the pantry, to push doors hard so they swing back
at you, to have freedom, to stick your tongue out, to blow your lips and spit
everywhere, to push the high chair, and to be wherever Jack is. You smile at most everyone.
We love you so very much baby girl! You are our precious Baby Angel.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
