All About Jack

I think this blog is about to be transformed into pinkness soon, so I thought I'd focus on Jack for a bit. I'm going to try to take more pictures (yeah, I know) and update a little better about what we've been doing. The problem is, we don't do much! We've been snowed in 2 weekends now, both of which made plans be canceled. We were going to go to Chattanooga this past weekend and meet Kelly, Ryan & Abbott at the aquarium but Nashville got too much snow and our roads were icy. Jarred & I have been busy trying to clean and organize our house to accommodate 2 kids but still be visitor friendly. We've made several trips to goodwill, hauled several bag of trash to the curb and even made a few dollars on craigslist & ebay. Would you believe we still have too much junk?? Well, enough about that. Here are some Jack pictures.

He wasn't sick, he just wanted to watch tv in our bed.

And NOT take any pictures!

He's just a silly boy. He likes to talk about Pink John Deere Jacey. He thinks that she is 4 and that she will be able to walk when she gets here. Jack also has a baby in his belly, but it's a boy named Jack.

When he sees someone on tv or in a picture who doesn't look happy, he asks, "Mommy, why is their face down? Are they not happy?" If someone is happy he'll say, "They are happy, their face is up!"

He has almost mastered using the potty. We have had a week of dry nap times, but he still wakes up wet. He's very stubborn and we hear the word, "but" A LOT! When we say, "No buts..." He'll say, "but..."

He likes to color... his face and regardless of this picture, he doesn't like his hair "crazy". When I try to comb it like this, he'll immediately smooth it down and say he wants it normal.

He's smart. Look, he can color with both hands. He actually can write his name and can write most letters with a little help. He loves going to school and asks just about every day if he gets to go to school that day.

He's crafty, but not very patient. He likes to make things, but doesn't really want to take the time to do it.
He's also loud. The other day he asked Jarred, "Daddy, do I talk a lot?" We just had to laugh and say, "Yes, Jack you do!"
He is excited about his baby sister. I just hope he stays excited. We've got 8 weeks to go, so we'll find out soon! Hope you enjoyed the Jack pics and update!

Is he trying to save paper by drawing on his head? How green of him! I love all of these cute little things that they do at this age. And tell him Dayton is the same way with his hair too. He does NOT like me to make it messy. "Just do it down" I hear that alot too!
